And just like that.... She's 18!
@tayla.raex you're an incredibly loving, kind, funny, talented and pure-hearted person, made evident by the friends you surround yourself with, and the many people who gravitate to you.
It's been my pleasure guiding you to this point in life, the foundations have been laid, now it's up to you to build and I'm genuinely excited to see where life will take you.
What advice do I have?
- don't be afraid to make mistakes, that's how you'll learn.
- don't wait for other people to do things with you - the solo experiences can be incredible.
- embrace change - shit happens, we deal with it and move on.
- pay yourself first - savings are important, always have your 'vex money'.
And probably the most important piece of advice...
DON'T LET ANYBODY'S DUSTY SON TEK YUH FI EEEDIYAT!!!
Tay, life is for living... live ABUNDANTLY!
Wherever you go, my heart goes with you!
Love always,
Mom x
