This was so lovely and heartfelt. It really captures such a real, raw, and vulnerable experience: both your own and your mother’s. Thank you so much for sharing 🥺

It’s funny how we get older and things we thought not too much of as teens slowly become important and sentimental as adults. My grandma gave me a few of her shirts she wore in her youth when I saw her last, I cannot wait for the weather to be warmer to wear them! I wouldn’t have cared for something like that when I was younger but now it feels like a treasure.

This substack is really going to be something special. I just feel it.

Thank you SO much, Emma! I'm happy it resonated with ya.

And yes, it's so funny how the meaning of things change over time. You have to take pics of your summer fits. It's nice that you'll be able to give them new life <3
