life lessons

by @girl-diffused

I will tell my daughters always come home to yourself your worth is not only in your body it is in your spirit, the stardust flecked across your skin I will tell my sons never become a wolf never devour flesh and forget a woman’s name say her name like a prayer cry oceans and taste saltwater on your lips for when you break and fall you can rebuild and stand for that is how you both will learn to love

It just starts when they're young and they begin to imprint. Start early.

Start the right way.
