Kim Kardashian SI Swimsuit Cover Model Writes Letter to Self

Kim Kardashian wrote a letter to her younger self as part of her 2022 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit spread.

The reality star and criminal justice reform advocate begins by teasing her high school self about her bad driving in the letter, published by SI Swimsuit on the 2022 cover reveal day.

“When you got the car, Dad made you sign a contract agreeing that if you ever hit something, you’d have to get a job to pay for the repairs—and that’s why you’ve been working through high school,” she wrote. “Remember what he told you? Be your best at it. No matter what you do. Be your best at it.”

“Throughout your life, ‘it’ is going to change,” she added. “You’re not always going to know what “it” is or where the inspiration is going to come from, so be prepared.”

She explains how she learned about Alice Johnson while scrolling through Twitter, writing, “She’ll strike you as a woman who looks like a cute little old grandma. She never had a parking ticket in her life, and then she had a first-time nonviolent drug offense and got life in prison without the possibility of parole—the same sentence as Charles Manson. And her plight will become an ‘it.’”

Kardashian noted that meeting with attorneys in the White House led to some confusion for her over terminology and legal jargon while advocating for Johnson’s release, which once more drove her to another “it.”

“A bunch of lawyers will use a bunch of terms you don’t understand, and you’ll find yourself texting an attorney you know in the room and asking, What does this mean? What does that mean? Soon you’ll have a new ‘it’: becoming a lawyer,” she wrote. “And being your best will mean passing the California bar exam.”

Kardashian passed the baby bar exam in December 2021 on her fourth attempt, and she says it helped her realize what really matters to her.

“It’s about family. It’s about helping other people. For years you’ll be putting yourself out there (wait until Instagram comes along),” she wrote. “I’m not saying you shouldn’t; it’s all so fun and embarrassing and amazing and stupid. But you’re going to become a more private person and you’re going to come to realize that the way to get your story out there—the actual narrative, the truth—isn’t by engaging but by doing.”
