Seventeen. 🥹🖤
I genuinely don’t know how we got here so quickly.
17 years of you, Bo. Of watching you grow into this funny, beautiful, fiercely individual person with your own style, your own opinions, your own music turned up far too loud… and a personality that has always been completely and unapologetically you.
There are little versions of you that I swear I can still see so clearly, and somehow at the same time, here you are — seventeen years old, becoming this incredible young woman right in front of me.
I hope you always keep that fire in you. Keep wearing what you want, loving what you love, singing Paramore at the top of your lungs and never making yourself smaller to make anybody else more comfortable.
As Hayley Williams said, “How did we get here?” 🥹
Because honestly, I’d quite like someone to explain that part to me.
I’m so ridiculously proud to be your mum, and I hope 17 brings you more happiness, confidence, adventures, music, laughter and memories than you know what to do with.
You deserve to take up space in this world exactly as you are.
Happy 17th birthday, Bo. 🖤✨
I love you more than you’ll ever understand.
Still into you. Always. 🥹❤️
