In a recent episode of the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast, renowned reality television personality Kim Kardashian opened up about a touching tradition she shares with her four children. Each year, on their birthdays, Kim writes a heartfelt four or five-page letter to commemorate their growth and experiences.
Kim expressed her joy in witnessing the evolution of these letters over the years, mentioning that one of her children is nearing 10 years old. She believes that the thoughtful gesture will be cherished by her children, regardless of any initial reservations they may have had.
The content of these letters encapsulates the previous year of each child’s life, including details about their friendships, humorous expressions they use, favourite foods, and memorable moments. Kim sees the letters as a way to create a narrative of their journey through life.
The SKIMS founder, who shares her four kids with ex-husband Kanye West, explained the significance of these letters, drawing from her own experiences with her mother. Kim believes that her children will come to appreciate the sentimental value behind these heartfelt messages, even if they may have initially perceived them as strict.
Kim also acknowledged the challenges of motherhood.
She admits that there are nights when she finds herself overwhelmed and in tears. Especially when reflecting on the chaotic nature of raising children. However, she firmly stated that being a mom is the most rewarding job in the world, one that no amount of preparation can truly equip someone for.
During the podcast, Kim briefly discussed her recent breakup with Pete Davidson after a nine-month relationship. She emphasized that breakups are difficult for her and acknowledged the back-and-forth nature of her emotions. However, she remains hopeful, waiting for a person who will embrace all aspects of her life. This of course includes her four children and the inevitable drama that comes with it.
