To the woman who became financially independent.
Today, raise your glass and drink to yourself.
You are no longer that little girl who had to ask for permission
to go to the movies or buy a new T-shirt.
Far behind are the days of counting cents
just to afford the coffee you like,
of endless sleepless nights,
running numbers in your head,
trying to figure out how to make those final dollars
last until next month.
My dear, don’t worry anymore.
Those days are long gone.
Enjoy the benefits of your work,
of reinventing yourself,
of daring to go after the dream
that is now your reality.
You live where you want.
You drink the wine you love.
You sit in front of the ocean
and take in the never-ending, ever-changing colors of the sunset.
The worries are gone,
and the rewards are here
the heels, the bag, the trips.
The freedom is beautiful,
and you know it.
Enjoy it.
Don’t worry about those who want to tear apart
your masterpiece of a life.
Remove them from your equation.
Wish them peace and love, from a distance.
My sweet girl,
dance in the morning when you wake up.
Listen to the sound of coffee brewing.
Taste the fruit,
the butter melting on warm bread.
You are no longer the little girl
who was told to be quiet,
not to disturb,
to follow the rules.
Understand this:
the rules no longer apply.
You are the best version of your ancestors.
They are proud of you.
You are everything they were denied to be
free.
Free in your mind.
Free in your love.
Free in your life.
To the financially independent woman who reads this…
remember: you are one of a kind.
You earned your place here.
And this is only the beginning.
There is more coming
prosperous, abundant, and free.
