A LETTER TO MY YOUNGER SELF

I am not old now. Actually I don't really feel old enough to write this letter to you. But I do know a little, even though I'm still a teenage chaos, perhaps like you?

I want you to know that you are enough, and that you should be careful who you surround yourself with. Surround yourself with people who support you, and bring out the best in you.
I know you have a lot of crazy ideas and dreams, and please, go ahead and chase them......
Remember that if you don't feel comfortable, it's okay to walk away or say no. You will love someone with all of your heart, and they will show you, that they're not worth your time.
It's going to be hard at times, but you got to fight through this, because you're going to come out so much wiser and stronger than ever before, and I know that this sounds so cliché and you're probably rolling eyes at me right now and thinking "Is this really the older me, ew".......

You're going to lose some friends and family members. Go through hard times, especially family wise, but also friend wise. But honey, your family is so strong and amazing.
Remember to spend time with your family, and show them your love. Especially your grandparents, you never know how long they're going to be there, so take time out of your day to visit, or invite them over for dinner. They're some of the most important people in your life, and you know that. Because you admire them, and get so much inspiration from them. You love them with all your heart.....

You're going to be very wise about the world, and how things is happening around you. You're going to have some strong opinions, and please say them out loud. Don't hold back, I know it's most of the time hard to say all of these things that you have going on in your mind. But please, for your own and others sake, say what you mean and think.....

You're going to find a job, that you love. You're going to find new friends through this job, or at least new connections...

You will get into the school you've always wanted to go to, and with the focus on all the right things. How that's going to go, I don't even know yet, because that chapter of our life, has just started.......

Remember to have both your heart and head with you. You're stronger than you think. Take care.
I love you.
