I loved reading this...so powerful to see the way the space and these objects are so connected with memories and emotions. The section on shame and self-pleasure especially resonated with me :)
I had posters of horses and Lord of the Rings and written out quotes sticky tacked to the walls of my room for several years. I really loved those, but I of course took them down to be "more adult" in my teenage years.
Thank you so so much for reading and sharing what resonated 💚💚💚 it means so much to me and I am so glad that my words can resonate with others.
I want you to get one horse and/or LOTR poster again, for little you and adult you. I would also love to know what some of the quotes were, if you remember any of them!
I should get one of those posters some time...welcoming the past parts of ourselves back into who we are can be so beautiful. And as far as quotes, I definitely had the one from Moulin Rouge where Christian says, "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return." And I also had the one from LOTR where Eowyn talks about fearing living in a cage :)
My first tattoo is on my ribcage and it says "Come What May" and I had this dream that one day I would meet the love of my life and they would get the rest of the line from the song. HAHAHA!
Ahhh that is amazing!!! It’s such a fantastic movie 🥲 I hope you have (or will) meet that person who gets it (or is at least willing to watch it and learn the reference 😂)
I can very vividly picture your room, and it sounds like a place I would have loved to visit and hang out in as a kid/teen.
A couple of my favorite things in my old bedroom include a huge print of a shirtless Jim Morrison and a "princess" phone, with my own phone number. We had landlines only back then, and having my own phone number felt so grown up. Looking back now, I can clearly see that my parents were respecting my privacy by giving me my own line. I can see now that they were a lot more open minded than I ever gave them credit for.
Oh that's so coooooooool! (The poster and the phone TBH). I love that your parents gave you that privacy, that's wonderfully awesome ☎️ and even better it came in princess format. The best.
1. the imagery in this post! a whale’s spout pencil sharpener, the irreplaceable heath ledger, a happy meal. all so unrelated yet relatable
2. do you know how many hotel pens i have from 25 years of work travel ??? it’s okay
3. the garish kelly green jungle print wallpaper edged in metallic silver i chose for my bedroom, age 9. what I miss the most
Ahhhhhhh this comment is all kinds of delightful!
Thank you for your kind words 🧡
I took the pen and it is A GREAT PEN!
This wallpaper is a VIBE!
Beautiful, as always, Lauren! Also I have been to the Summer Bay beach and it's beaut! ;)

"I loved being at my grandparents, so I loved them and everything they had there on purpose." 🧡🧡🧡
I couldn't love this more!
