Dear younger self,
Let’s start with don’t be in such a rush to grow up. You don’t need to have “cool” friends and a boyfriend right away and start smoking to fit in. It won’t help you any in your life, besides learning lessons the hard way. Hold on to your youth, don’t alter your way of thinking because that’s the only way to fit in. Don’t start drinking and smoking weed while you’re first starting highschool, it won’t do anything but create problems.
Take your time and keep your innocence. Be faithful to who you are and never let the person you are become “the one who got away”. There will be a lot of obstacles in your journey but the thing you have to remember is to just simply breathe. Be happy, and don’t hold grudges. Life is too short to mess around. Always be honest and never let the little things get a hold of who you are. There are bigger things in life that you have yet to enjoy.
