Dear 11 old me ;)




























I spent the past few days with the girl next door, age 11. We had fun: we ran in the rain, rode on the horses, swam with the horses and did other cool stuff what you can do in the countryside.

Inspired by these few days I decided to write a letter to my eleven-year-old self.

Dear 11 old me. Don't wait to be all grown up. Your life is perfect as it is. Actually before you realize you will be missing your last years of childhood. You will have plenty of time to be an adult. Run in the rain, talk about horses and other girls' stuff. Have a crush on the boy next door. Get a hobby or two. Do nothing, but don't get bored, because when you are an adult you will be too busy and you will miss the time when you didn't have anything to do. Build a little hut in the forest. Help your little brothers and sisters. Realize that one day people will expect lots of things from you. Now they just expect you to eat well, sleep enough and do your home work. By the time you are 30 the number of things that are expect from you have increased so much it will make your head spin. Swim. Be childish for as long as you can: the most adorable grannies are the most childish ones. ;)

Yesterday I went to Urban a*-shop and found the Childhood-bracelet. Coincidence? I had to buy it.


World Childhood Foundation’s work is aimed at the most marginalized children, the ones
most often ignored and forgotten. Childhood focuses especially on girls and the main target groups are street children, children living in institutions, young mothers and sexually abused children. The foundation was founded in 1999 by Her Majesty Queen Silvia of Sweden and they sell these cute bracelets and they use the profits to support the kids.  =)


"Let children be children" - and every once in a while be one of them yourself too! =)
