Kerri Brown A Letter To My Daughter

Okay, world, listen up! Let’s talk daughters. Specifically, let's pretend Kerri Brown wrote a letter to her daughter. A letter full of… well, let's call them "life lessons". The kind that might raise an eyebrow or two.

Unpopular Opinion #1: Pinterest Is a Trap!

Honey, that picture-perfect life? It’s mostly filters and good lighting. Your real life is way more interesting. Embrace the messy bun and mismatched socks. It builds character. Trust me.

Stop comparing your highlight reel to everyone else's carefully curated existence. Unless your goal is to feel inadequate while simultaneously coveting someone else's faux farmhouse decor.

Let’s just say "Pinterest fails" are the stuff of legends in this house.

Unpopular Opinion #2: Boys? AVOID (For Now!)

Okay, okay, not forever. But seriously, learn to change a tire and build a spreadsheet before you obsess over finding "the one." Knowing how to fix a leaky faucet is way more empowering than waiting for Prince Charming. And cheaper than calling a plumber.

Boys will be there. Probably making questionable fashion choices and using too much hair gel. Focus on becoming an awesome human being. The right person will appreciate that.

Unpopular Opinion #3: Grades Aren’t Everything (Gasp!)

Yes, education is important. But so is knowing the lyrics to every 80s power ballad. And perfecting your air guitar skills. Learning how to deal with disappointment is also vital. Life isn't always a report card full of A's.

Acing algebra is great. Knowing how to talk to people is better. Seriously. Kerri Brown swears it's true. (Even if her own report card sometimes disagreed).

Unpopular Opinion #4: Your Dream Job Might Not Exist (Yet!)

Don't get hung up on having it all figured out by graduation. Some of the most amazing careers haven't even been invented yet. Be open to new possibilities.

Explore. Experiment. And don't be afraid to change your mind a million times. It’s your life. Write your own job description, maybe even get paid for it!

Plus, the world changes, so keep up with it. You may be building a drone based company and you don't even know it!

Unpopular Opinion #5: It’s Okay to Say No (And Mean It!)

You are not required to attend every party, volunteer for every cause, or agree with everything everyone else says. Your time is valuable. Your energy is precious.

Saying no is a superpower. Use it wisely. It's much better to protect your energy and time, than to spread yourself too thin.

Kerri Brown's letter ends here. Remember these "unpopular" opinions, sweetie. They are only unpopular because they're honest. Go forth and be your magnificent, slightly rebellious self!
