Dear Teen Me

Soooooo there is SO much I want to tell everyone, but I don’t want to put it all in one post. So over the course of the next few days, I’ll catch y’all up on my awesome (and crazy) trip to Connecticut, my run in with an elder woman suffering from Alzheimers, my time in Boston, and all the other bits of this journey.

BUT TODAY… I give you, my feature on DEAR TEEN ME!

I have to say, it was therapeutic to write something to my teenage self — to offer a bit of advice to, perhaps, my subconscious. I mean, our teenage selves still exist somewhere buried under all the weight of maturity and responsibility that comes with adulthood. At least, that’s what I think. And this letter, was to that hidden, uncertain, insecure corner…of me. Click the link to check out! (Also, there are pictures!)
