To Jenn: From Jenn

Dear Jenn,

Hey.

I know you’re going through a lot. I don’t even have to know what’s going on or where you are in life to know that sentence is true. Because we’re always going through a lot. It’s a lot to be a person. It’s a lot to be a woman. It’s a lot.

I know what you’re doing. Not like, right in this exact moment in the future when you read this, but generally. I know that you’re pushing through. I know that you’re taking on more than you should and putting yourself last. I know that late at night when everything is quiet your mind spins into shadowy corners, recalling your darkest moments. I know that you’re anxious and depressed, but also know that you’re a warrior who loves intensely and with her whole heart. You’re so many things. And you love being so many things. But it’s also fucking exhausting.

I’m just here to remind you that it’s okay. Is that some profound piece of wisdom? No. But I think sometimes it’s not about a specific piece of advice that’s going to unlock some deep, philosophical question you’ve been trying to answer. Sometimes it’s just nice to remember..it’s okay.

You got through today.

You’ll get through tomorrow.

It’s okay.

Love,

Jenn

P.S.

Your hair looks great.
