This isn't about anyone in particular. It's about a reality I don't live in, where I have a loving girlfriend and we spent our summer in a better place. Manifesting that this is going to be my summer '26.

Bandung, 01 Ramadhan 1440

You will not feel this way forever. You will be okay. Don’t you give up yet because if you leave, you can’t come back. So please stay, even if it’s hard. Stay.

A letter to my younger self: You’ll have plenty of times when you feel your life is worthless - but please don't give up. You’ll feel like you will never be good enough, you’ll never fit it no matter how hard you try, you will hate yourself, you’ll go through the lowest times of your life. It’s important to remember - it will pass. And, you will be strong enough to overcome it, and it wont break you. It will change. You will go from a terrified selected mutism child, to a teenager who cant order her own food in a restaurant, or raise her hand in class, to a girl working in her dream job, living in her own flat, meeting new people, going out - becoming stronger than you ever thought, appreciating life, and feeling worth and potential. Who’d thought?! There will be times when you’ll feel lost - but hey, thats what bands are for. You’ve found them for a reason and cling on to them no matter what - they will get you through the days. Forget the scales, forget comparing yourself to others, forget the magazines. You will realise that your heart, what you do, your spirit, your personality, is so much more valuable. You are a unique individual and that’s your biggest asset - just being you. Don’t worry about what others are thinking of you, because you wont know those people soon enough, and you’ll be too busy being your crazy, creative, shy, kind hearted self. Be grateful for the life you have, and everything that happens to you, embrace the qualities that make you unique, and understand that everything will always work out for the best no matter what. (Ps, acne is temporary, and even if it wasn’t, you rock it, and some blemishes on your face - literally make you no less of a person) You will find your one true passion in life - working in SEN - and the hard times in your childhood you had will prove to have been “all part of the plan”. You will experience amazing things, and work with incredible children. It will be a blessing that you just can't get over. I know none of these seem possible to you right now, but just know that I got this. I am so proud of you for carrying on - and becoming you. #letter #lettertomyself #lettertomyselfchallenge #selflove https://www.instagram.com/p/ByODjeUHsCx/?igshid=zhebj9p0jfio

Dear 25, you jokingly referred to this year as the “quarter life crisis” to your friends, but it was anything but that. Even though you went through a difficult period with experiencing your first heartbreak in life, you know you’re worth more than getting dumped in a text message like a “quickie” or one night stand by someone you’ve spent 8 years with. You couldn’t see it at the time. You thought there was something wrong with you so you started to distrust those closest to you and lashed out, hurting the ones who love you for you in spite of all of it. However, things start looking up. You meet a few older guys in Cali who give you some perspectives you need in your young life. You even spend time with one of them post-Cali and he just grounds you to earth for a weekend, making us feel like kids again by sipping Capri Suns, making s’mores, and camping by the river with a mountain view, enjoying his “cooking” skills 😊. In that moment, you’re grateful to have someone by your side who knows just what you needed to take away the pain of struggling with the breakup at the sixth month. That’s the funny thing about life....you always gain more than what you lost, whether that’s people or experiences to add to your story. It was a hell of a year with many firsts when you look back on it. What were once lazy weekends of doing nothing with the boy, you’ve filled them up with travels and more wine... always more wine in this life 😊🍷. Oh the places you’ve been this year.... France, Greece, Houston, San Francisco, Monterey, San Diego, and Denver. The people you’ve met along the way on your travels, new friends and old friends. There’s no fitting end to closing out 25 and ringing in 26 than to have one final adventure in Seattle by this weekend where you’ll be traveling solo for the first time. Most people would find this scary and sad, but you find this exciting for many reasons. Keep on doing things for the first time and live life as Anthony Bourdain would’ve done 😎. Embrace the journey and pásame más vino! 🍾🥂🎂 #lettertomyself #happybirthday #anotheryearolder #anotheryearwiser #beingsingle https://www.instagram.com/p/BpXfLREH5jK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1c44midxp0jak

Note to my 12 year old self. The pictures you see of flawless women in magazines that make you cry aren’t fucking real. Real women are...real. Their skin carries the story of their life. We might have stretch marks for any number of reasons and our belly’s roll occasionally, and sometimes we have to unbutton our pants after an epic dinner with our girlfriends and maybe we have cellulite and we don’t always love ourselves but we’re trying. There is no right way to be a woman. Your body wasn’t created to please others. It is capable of magic and you will learn how powerful you are...one day. . . . . . #selflove #bellyrolls #realwomen #wildwoman #wildwomansisterhood #sundayhike #sundayhikes #optoutside #loveyourself #lettertomyself #yogalove #writtenbyme #yogaeverydamnday #yoga #getbendy #growthmindset #yogajourney #yogajunkie #portraitmode #iphone8plus #iphoneography #iphonephotography #selfportrait #spreadingthelove #yogisofig (at White Ranch Open Space Park-SE Ent)
