Hey girl, it's me. I know you're pretty stressed right now... At least you think you are. Well let me tell you, you haven't even begun to experience life yet so take the dramatics down a notch. I'm not going to tell you what not to do, because every decision has led you to where you are right now, and I definitely don't want that to change. Don't worry though, somehow you manage to handle it all. But seriously, calm the heck down.
I know you probably think that whatever mini crisis going on right now is the worst thing that could ever happen to anyone in the world, but it's not. And worse things are going to happen to you, sorry. You'll get your heart broken, a couple of times. You'll fall down, a lot. You'll lose who you are and it'll take you a while to find yourself again. You'll forget who matters most and somehow they'll manage to forgive you for it, and you'll forever be thankful for them. You're going to lose a lot of friends, but don't worry about it they didn't mean that much anyway if they were willing to leave so easily. You're going to break down a few times but you're gonna laugh a whole lot more. You're going to get over it all, so just relax a little.
I know you're scared right now, facing whatever it is your facing but I want to let you know that whatever it is, isn't important. You'll laugh at how dramatic you were when you were younger and you'll forget all of the stupid little things. You'll especially laugh at how you dressed because seriously, what were you thinking? People who have hurt you won't matter to you anymore and whatever it is that's bothering you will go away soon.
Things are going to get harder, so save your energy for when you feel like your world is crashing, and even those moments start to fade away and it all seems so small.
Remember the people who were there for you when you tried to push them away, and remember that they stuck by your side through your many unwarranted crying fits. Allow yourself to forgive the people who have hurt you, and even if they never say they're sorry allow yourself to forgive them anyway. You're going to get lost, but that's okay because the people who love you will help you get found.
I'm not saying it's going to be easy, and I'm not saying that in some situations you don't have a right to be upset. But it's going to be worth it. I'm here to let you know that you're in a pretty great place right now, and you have everyone and everything to thank for it. Every heartbreak, every backstabbing friend, every decision both bad and good alike, every helping hand and loving person have led you to where you are right now, sitting down smiling and thinking about how happy you are. So slow down there kid, better, and worse, things are yet to come. Be thankful for them all, because it's all going to turn out pretty okay.
