“A Postcard to My Younger Self”

  • Kim Ellen Warnick

The image on the front? A woman weeping. She sits on the blue carpeted floor of the sparsely  decorated bedroom in her first home, alone in a corner. I pick up my pen and begin, wishing I could go back and tell you — the woman sitting there — “It gets easier.” But with luck, this message will still find you.Go ahead and weep, but when your tears are gone, get up and enjoy this very moment you are living.

Description

Support writers and artists in our community! Subscriptions go toward contributors, community funds, and sustaining the ongoing efforts of Exponent II. Print subscriptions — our most popular and recommended option — continue a quarterly tradition since 1974 and include a free digital subscription.

A single print issue is typically 48 pages and includes 8-10 personal essays, poetry, and our features: Sabbath Pastorals, Women’s Theology, Artist Interviews, and more. We are extremely proud of the art — all by women and gender minorities along the Mormon spectrum — that works in conversation with the essays, and we use a high-quality, no-waste local printer that highlights the beauty of the artwork. The articles are carefully gathered and arranged to create a narrative from beginning to end. This results in a dialogue within every issue as articles speak to one another and spark new ideas and meanings. What does the magazine experience have to offer that’s worth the cost of a subscription? See for yourself by previewing the magazine here.

I was bored. My crinoline underskirt prickled my legs, but I pushed it down and arranged my hands in my lap, thinking about the weekend trip to the Oregon coast tide pools with my family.
