I don’t want you to ever think I will be disappointed in you or that you will let me down. So long as you are being true to yourself with the choices that you make, you will make the best ones.
Changing your major could never disappoint me as long as you are having fun in college and doing your best. Remember who you are talking to, I was a second year senior when I finally declared a major in Sociology – an area where jobs are nonexistent without a masters – but I loved every minute of it.
You do what you need to do and I will support you.
When you decided to go to Bethel instead of UT after high school, I was never disappointed in your decision, I was only hurt that you couldn’t tell me yourself. I knew that you were going to Bethel to be with EJ and yes, I was afraid that that meant you were compromising your dreams for someone else. Still though, I just wish you could have been honest with me about your decision. The fact that you couldn’t, confirmed to me that perhaps you were not being true to yourself and that is what disappointed me.
You are a beautiful young woman now and part of the experience of being an adult is making choices (good or bad) and making mistakes. So long as you put love first, you will make good choices and so long as you learn from your mistakes, you will never really make any because the learning is what life is about.
The world is a brighter place because you are in it and no matter what, I will support you in your life journey.
I love you baby girl.
