More Than Average

Dear Natalia,

So we went to the doctor a few days ago and they said you are too little. Your weight isn't 'average' and so we need to be watching you closely so that you can be closer to 'average'.

Well, I must be honest about this. I don't want you to be 'average'. Not in any sense of the word. Our world has become too accustomed to 'average'. Average jobs, average expectations, average schools, average relationships, average this, average that.

Never settle for just being 'average'. That is what I have to say. I will ALWAYS encourage you to push yourself and be YOU, not just the average. Push yourself in your abilities and always seek to be the best you absolutely can be. There are times where it might feel like you are just 'average', but no matter what, remember you are MORE!

Just like the quote says... 'It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us'. Remember.

And I love you more than average,

Your Mom
