Selma Blair wrote a heartfelt open letter to her younger self.
Blair, 50, received words of wisdom and support from Eva Longoria, Rosario Dawson, Christina Ricci, and Jessica Williams, among others.
The actress from The Ordinary World wrote:
"I understand you're afraid of growing up. You worry that you won't be able to do whatever successful grownups do, but it will be fine. Don't be too concerned about the future."
"I remember you at this age so well, and how this picture right here was taken while REO Speedwagon was playing, and you felt something."
"You couldn't put your finger on it." It's a ray of hope. Change your dread for optimism. Continue reading. Every day, write. Please have faith in yourself. Inform the truth. Observe. Things will go well. And heinous stuff. And it will all be part of regaining your footing and moving forward. You are worthy of love.
OCEANS,
Blair"
"P.S. You bought yourself the horse you've always wanted," the actress concluded. Mr. Nibbles is his name. You will be able to accomplish a great deal. Please don't be concerned. And take a deep breath in. And then exhale. Continue passing the open windows."
The Michigan native was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic central nervous system disease, in October 2018.
Blair graced the cover of British Vogue's May 2023 issue, when she opened up to the publication about publicly using a cane to aid mobility as a result of her MS diagnosis.
"I have an emotional and physical attachment to the cane," she explained to the newspaper. "It's like an extension of me.".jpg "Courtesy by People")
