my name is Lauren and growing up I liked having a name that didn’t end in A like so many other popular girls’ names at the time, but I also felt like it was dull lol Nowadays sometimes I forget my name is Lauren bc I’m around my kids all the time who call me mama, and my husband rarely uses my name because I’m the only other adult in our house and it’s always abundantly clear when he’s talking to me (so he doesn’t need to use my name to get my attention). Whenever a friend uses it on a phonecall or something I sometimes get butterflies because I just never hear it lmao 😅 (sometimes on forums i go by Elle or Ellie tho)

I have a very traditional biblical name as some of you may know and i was sad that it was entirely un-nick-namable but I think it suits me and my personality now. My parents almost named me Kirsten and I sometimes wonder if I would be different if they had gone with that… and I LOVE when little old southern ladies say my first name and middle name together especially if they preface it with a Miss. my last name is actually too unique, hyphenated, and ridiculously long and was embarrassing to me for most of my life but I’ve found peace with that too and wouldn’t change it for anything 🫶

bc it’s what I originally wanted when I first went to college at 17 but I was scared to make writing my job and got a B.S. in Nutrition instead lol Now the goal is an eventual PhD in Victorian Literature but I’m just happy to have made it through this part at 32! Stacked is everything I read in my English courses—barely pictured are the 5 stuffed accordion folders of other reading materials under my chair haha
