I love me, I love me not

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Dear little Lauryn,

     Happy Valentines day.  First off let me just say that you're going to be weird forever but you're teeth won't.  Never take for granted the moments you will spend with your family and friends.  Change is hard but you will endure so much.  You are an adorable crafty goof ball and you should always hold on to that.  It's why people love you!  You'll grow up way before it's due but try and stay a kid for as long as possible and be a little more social.  

     No matter how much everyone makes fun of you don't let it jade you towards people!  You are able to read people incredibly well, relate to so many situations, and empathize.  You should always hold that dear not many people have the gifts you do, so embrace them completely.  Never put yourself down because other people do.

     

You're amazing and you only get better.

Love, 

Grown up Lauryn.

P.S. You're going to get hit in the forehead with a baseball going like 40 miles an hour!  You should move over an inch or two. 

P.S.S.  This is your cat!

"We are celebrating Valentine's Day by writing love letters to our little selves. This idea stems from one of my favorite quotes by Kris Carr, “Picture yourself when you were five. in fact, dig out a photo of little you at that time and tape it to your mirror. How would you treat her, love her, feed her? How would you nurture her if you were the mother of little you? I bet you would protect her fiercely while giving her space to spread her itty-bitty wings. she’d get naps, healthy food, imagination time, and adventures into the wild. If playground bullies hurt her feelings, you’d hug her tears away and give her perspective. When tantrums or meltdowns turned her into a poltergeist, you’d demand a loving time-out in the naughty chair. From this day forward I want you to extend that same compassion to your adult self.” This Valentine's Day, take time to write little you a love letter. What are three things you would tell yourself? Show yourself some fierce love this month. ♥"
