MY DEAREST FRIENDS, This month Local Wolves turns 4 years old, how insane! Out of those 4 years, P.S Positivity was born exactly 2 years later. January 1, 2014. I never thought I’d actually write for a magazine or that my voice would be heard through such an inspiring platform. Of course, I’ve always dreamt of it, and even told my theatre teacher that my words would make it into an issue, but I’ve always dreamt that they’d happen later in life— I was trying to think “realistically.” It’s absolutely crazy and humbling to think that this whole thing started when I was only 17 years old. When Cathrine reached out to me on behalf of receiving my very own column for Local Wolves, my heart nearly did 8,000 backflips in a matter of 30 seconds, there was no way I could say no! I also knew that I wanted to have a platform where I could talk about things with absolutely no filter at all. A diary or an ode to help the wandering souls that linger for advice. I’ve been there and I knew that this was an opportunity to inspire others, so I took that to my full advantage. P.S Positivity has covered the good, the bad, and the ugly. You and I have gone through this journey of self discovery and self love together. I do this because I love having the ability to change someone’s life, whether it be temporary or permanently. This is for you. Thank you endlessly. // Illustration by Megan Kate Potter.
