Dear old me,

I'm writing this to let you know that everything is going to be okay. Through the minor bumps in the road to the big gaps and voids in yourself, you will get through it. It's not going to be easy, that's for sure - but I promise you that no matter what is thrown at you, you will be able to come out on the other side happier than ever. 

Don't stress so much, the little things - they won't matter, they don't matter. What does matter is the drive you have to get where you want to be, where you need to be. Invest yourself in what makes you truly happy, find what you are passionate about. If you feel alone or discouraged, look around you! Look at everyone who supports you and guides you - you are not alone.

Everyone goes through life with good and bad moments, but it's up to you to make the best of them. I know you work hard, and it truly pays off. Soon you will be as happy as you could ever imagine. So hold on, because life gets rough sometimes, but you can do it - better than you ever thought you could. 

Focus on you, and what you need to do to get to who you want to be, you'll get there. Don't forget to grab hold of every opportunity that comes your way, you won't regret it. Be that pillar of support for your friends, just like they are for you. Remember these people, the ones who helped you when you thought no one understood. Appreciate them, let them know how much they mean to you.

With mom and dad, the days will get better - let them; soon you will realize they are your best friends. Always let them know how much they mean to you and how thankful you are for everything they do.

It's not all bad, this life you're in. So breathe, and remember that what is to come, is never as bad as you expect it to be.

You're stronger than what you imagine, I promise.

Sincerely, 

Me
