Things I would say to Gracie :D

Gracie! You have now reached the age of 18. People may refer to this age with a variety of ways like “legal”, “mature” or “Pwede-ka-na-rin-ikulong-sa-wakas!” XD But despite the multitude of words people can conjure up, whether it be it be inspirational or just downright satirical, there can be only one thing that is surely in essence: womanhood. You have made a transition and change but despite this, never leave behind the characteristics that made your previous yourself the person you family and friends have to love, the traits that the people around you came to fancy and the very essences that made who you are distinctly “you.” Always remain:

GRATEFUL

The person you are now won’t be possible without the people that touched your life even in a minute way: never take them for granted.

RELIGIOUS

Even without you knowing you fully it, God has always been with you in every step of the way be it in your brightest and darkest experiences. Never lose sight of your faith

APPROACHABLE

Your warm attitude remains to be one of the strongest points on why people never cease to be attracted to you. This positivity will ensure that you’ll never be lonely in any part of your life

CAREFREE

Beyond your wildest imaginations lies a tool that can inspire even the most abysmal of times: your angelic smile. Though the world may seem to end in the lives of your loved ones, your optimistic attitude as portrayed by your smile delivers an uncanny ability to give a boost in confidence and positive outlook in their dim spirits, and I am no exception to that :D

INSPIRED

The success to life is finding and cherishing the most important aspects of your own heart be it concrete or abstract. Your inspiration is very strong and evident: as beautiful and graceful as your lit pieces has significantly portrayed.

EFFICIENT

Happiness is the ability to avert sadness. You are in charge of your life, never let emotions destroy that which gives you strength and joy. Don’t be overwhelmed by the obstacles and challenges of life. Stay as yourself right now: A strong and optimistic woman who has conviction and resolution sufficient enough to turn negativity inside and out

These are the traits I wish you’d never change: Being Grateful, Religious, Approachable, Carefree, Inspired and Efficient.

Be GRACIE!

See you sis! Love you!

:D
