lea is fifteen

I wonder what it would be like to be fifteen again. Its an age full of discovery, excitement, disappointment, wonder, adventure, and growth. My sweet cousin Lea turned fifteen recently, which can't actually be real because she is just a precious baby and not some teenager. But atlas she is growing and becoming such a remarkably beautiful person. With that said, I wanted to create a list for her of things to remember when your fifteen, I mean I was there once and I sort of understand the beauty that is being fifteen.

one: kind words cost nothing

two: authenticity is magnetic

three: try to remember that an oops is better than a what if

four: celebrate every tiny victory

five: it is okay to be a bit of a mess

six: start each day with a beautiful mindset

seven: you are a wonderful thing

eight: because this is your life and that is all that really matters

nine: do not undermine your goals

ten: things will get better

eleven: there is nothing wrong with staying home

twelve: don't allow technology to interrupt important moments. ever.

thirteen: without (hot) wings the world would just be darkness and chaos

fourteen: remember quality not quantity is whats important

fifteen: you are enough
