Dear Me

Dear Me, I take thee for my true self, my soul sister, my life partner. I promise to give you a nudge to remember birthdays, a kick in the rear when you’re acting like an ass, a reflux of remorse when you’ve been careless or cruel. But I’ll also give you a gold star when you’re the real deal, when you stand up for the underdog, when you dress like your inner goddess no matter how many stares you attract. I vow to reassure you when you feel like a failure, comfort you when your pants are too tight and honor your journey no matter how zigzag it might be. Just look in the mirror every morning, and I’ll be looking back—with love and lipstick and luck for the day. XOXO Nikki
