entry 004: a letter to my 13-year-old self
everyone say “thank you, laufey” for giving us such a healing song because i really do wish i could go back and give her a squeeze, myself at 13, and just let her know that she’s beautiful.
eventually, you learn that there is much more to life than just crushing on boys, the number on the scale, the size on the tag, the brand of that shirt, how many likes you get on that post, who likes you and who doesn’t, and why don’t they?
at 22 my life is so unbelievably full. it’s overflowing with abundance, really. and lady, it’s just the beginning !!!!! i welcome it ALL !!!!!!!!! no matter what comes my way, i know i will be ready to face it because i have myself. and oh god, what an honour to know her, to love her.
i was so focussed on just surviving for so, so long, but this season of my life is about to be the best one yet and i feel it in my BONES and my HEART and my SOUL because of the radical love i have for myself.
i am so excited to cultivate the life of my dreams, create art, laugh and cry (sometimes at the same time) with my friends and family, get my sweet little treats, wear my silly little outfits, sing with my chest, meet new people and reconnect with old ones, pet all the dogs, sip on my matcha’s, hug my mom, love and be loved, watch my loved ones succeed, and watch MYSELF succeed and grow alongside them.
i don’t say it nearly enough but if you’re reading this, i’m really happy that you’re here. it’s 11:09 and you are so, very loved.
