Spotlight 25-26

Dear my 13 Year Old Self,

Everything is going to be okay. Right now, you feel awkward, you feel fat, and you feel uncool. I promise you won’t always feel this way. You’ll learn to care less about what people think and more about what makes you feel good. Exercise, eating well, spending quality time with friends, yoga, and art—these are the things that lift you up. Do more of them! Would you believe that by the time you turn 30, you’ll have an amazing husband, incredible friends, a lovely home, a fulfilling job, and yes—you’ll have lost that weight. You’ll have run multiple half marathons, completed triathlons, and even crushed a HYROX competition. Life is good. You’ll get there. Be patient with yourself, and try to enjoy the ride.

With love, You at 31
