A Letter To My Daughter

A heartfelt letter from a mother to her daughter, celebrating self-worth, independence, and personal growth, with gentle reminders to protect health, build financial stability, travel, and nurture creativity

My Darling Ma,

You are enough.
For yourself.
By yourself.
Never, ever forget this

From the very beginning of your life, you have carried yourself with grace and strength. As a daughter, as a girl growing into your own light, as an elder sister, a friend, a wife, a daughter-in-law, a colleague, and most importantly, as a human being, you have always tried to do what is right and what is best. That is something no one can take away from you

There will always be people who point out what you could have done better. Let them. Do not react to every voice. Not everyone will understand your journey, your intentions, or your worth. When they cannot see your value, rise higher, vibrate higher, and remain rooted in who you are

Whatever comes into your life, promise me this:
Never compromise your health.
Never compromise your financial stability.

Take care of your temple — your body.
Protect your mind — your peace.
Earn your own money — always.
Stay physically strong and fiercely independent. Strength is not harshness; it is security, dignity, and freedom

And my princess girl, Noor e Jannat, pray and travel more. Be grateful and see the world. Keep writing your journals and share your wisdom with the world. Keep reading your books. Keep hosting your journal gatherings. Keep creating spaces where hearts can breathe

Live fully. Grow boldly. Stand tall

This is just a little letter your mother wanted to write to you. Remember that you are capable, worthy, and powerful in ways even you may not always see

Yours forever,
Mompah 🤍

The Poetry in That Girl

I reconnected with that girl anew –
Who once embraced life fully …
Who danced with every step and radiated joy
Whose eyes were some sunflowers, blooming
And whose soul ignited fireworks, dazzling …

I played music for that girl again …
In hopes that its melody would ignite her spirit within
Creating a haven for her to emerge from the shadows
And dance once more under the stars …

Knowing that she would find solace within these moments
With each sunset painted in hues of gold
And each gentle breeze whispering
Through the trees ….
I hoped to create a sanctuary where she could feel safe enough to reveal herself once again …

Deep within, I felt her presence stirring,
A flicker of recognition amidst the silence …
Longing for my kindness and effort that shimmered with possibility
I vowed to nurture her return
To guide her back into the light
Where she rightfully belonged ..
She belonged to the poetry within her …

It was an amazing journey!
