So Cool

I spent my youth becoming amazing at being whatever they wanted me to be.

You’re spending your youth listening to who you are.

I spent my days perfecting my smile and timely replies.

You spend your days making the weirdest faces possible and barely noticing someone said something to you because you’re building worlds in your head where dragons slay bad guys and lyrics connect worlds.

I think you’re cool.

I wanna be like you when I grow up.

I love you and give thanks for every day we get to know each other a little better and make each other laugh at all our weirdest thoughts, jokes, fears and dreams.

I’ll keep torturing you with my 1990’s country music lyric abilities, and you keep sharing the latest Gen Z stars who inevitably started on TikTok or YouTube. Deal?

Just a little Monday Love Note to you, Lola.

Lotsa love,

Leah/ Mom
