week #1- Dear babycakes,

Dear Babycakes,
I have brought you into this world and I couldn't be happier. Although you are completely perfect in my eyes, this cruel world sees only what it wants. Don't let opinions of others ever change the wonderful person that you are today. Throughout my years of life, I admit, I have been influenced by the opinions and peer pressure of others. These same decisions are the ones i regret the most. I know that people say, "Just be yourself" all the time, and it sounds cheesy and meaningless, but its not. My advice to you is to do exactly that. Be yourself. Because the people in your life that like you for who you really are, are the people you have the most fun with, and when it comes time for you to grow up and find the love of your life, you want them to love you for who you are, not who your so-called friends have made you. I don't have any expectations from you. I want you to do what makes you happy and be with the people that put a smile on your face. You aren't expected to bring home large paychecks or support me and your father when we are old. All i expect is you to be you and not to let anyone change that. You will make mistakes, i understand that, i made them as well. But you learn from them. You couldn't let me down if your tried.

Sincerely,
Mom.
