I’ve been writing letters to Pea as often as I can in this book that I hope to give to her on her 18th birthday.

Life is amazing, fun, crazy, exciting, rough, painful, sad- the list goes on and on.

I thought it would be cool to write down lessons I’ve learned as they come to me. So, there are letters about drinking, crying, priorities, friends, family and plenty more.

Sometimes if I have a rough day at work, I can think of a letter right away (which may start like this: Dear Cadence, let’s talk about assholes…). Since I plan to give it to her when she’s older, I’m pretty candid. My parents were always honest with me and I hope to use that same honesty when raising Pea.

I have been wanting to write a letter to her about love, but I don’t know where to start. Love is a crazy fucking thing and she’ll be in love one day and I may not be close by to offer the words exactly when she needs it… But I don’t know what to say to her about it yet.

“Love is patient, love is kind…” Yeah, in fuckin Disney movies. Okay, so maybe I won’t say that. I don’t want to scare her from love. But I want her to be cautious, to love herself more than any person she could possibly fall in love with, to guard her heart, to understand that she is a princess (Queen) and any person she falls in love with should treat her as such….

Oh, there’s so much to say about love.

What would you put in that letter? I’m always interested to hear different perspectives on love.
