Young woman, do not wait to stretch your wings.  Life is short, but life is also long and seems much longer when you sit in one place, afraid of yourself and all you might be, all you might do out there in the world.

Young woman, there are some who would hold you back, hold you down, pull at your heart with their fear.  Careful of them and their bottomless needs.  True love wants only the best for you, anything less is no love at all.

Young woman, you are never as alone as you sometimes feel.  Just reach out a hand and be amazed at how many are waiting to grasp you tight and pull you up out of the darkness.

Young woman, love yourself.  Acknowledge the beauty, power, and strength that you have and are, the depths of which cannot be tested until they are tried. Try them.
