I've been inspired by Fashion Magazine. Beyond the beautiful pictures. The May Issue included a feature where inspiring women wrote about the following:
What would you write if you could write to the younger you?
Where would you hide it?
So here we go...
"Wise us" (that we know is just around the corner!) would write that we shouldn't judge others. That we should stress a little less. Because judging is mean. And stressing doesn't solve anything, it just causes odd grey tinted hairs. That we shouldn't engage with people that make us feel small. Because those people usually don't change, and they definitely aren't worth it.
But it would be a waste. Because we do all of the above, and clearly we haven't learned our lessons yet.
So instead we'll write to have fun. To be spontaneous. To be proud. Self confident. And to never stop thinking.
And we think that'll do.
And the where. Where would we hide it? We'd keep it in the open. To remind us. Because we're constantly hiding things in wicked cubby holes and then promptly forgetting where they are. And our junk drawer is jammed.
x's & o's,

ps. We did once write a letter from our 15 year old self to our 20 year old self. We hid it with our thousands of volumes of diaries, under the pool table, in our parents basement. It may not be the work of a genius, or a poet, or even a wise us, but it was lovely and it makes us laugh. And that's what life is about.
