Don't ever wish your life away.

Letter To The High School Girl Who Thinks She Has It All Figured Out
Callie Futey

Dear my darling,

That boy you claimed to love with all of your heart, you know the one. He was the one that made your heart race at the sound of his name. I know you’ve dreamed that he would be the one you stayed and cherished memories with.

I’m aware that you spent every waking moment with him also. I’m also aware that you’re broken hearted feeling like nothing and nobody can “fix” you. Then there was that friend that talked the most about you, but had the brightest smile and was ready to talk you up when you walked by.

Well, let me tell you this: that boy, the one you swear was perfect isn’t perfect if he could let a gem like you go. I know you believed in him like he was a fairly tale and I know it’s hard to get over him as well. Yes, there are going to be days when you feel like dying but the one thing you have to remember is when you were stuck listening to his lies.

You may feel alone because you dropped that unsupportive friend but you just have to know that it was for the best and I promise you’ll notice who would really stick by you no matter what. Sometimes people are meant to stay in our lives, but instead some are meant to only take a little ride to show us what and who we deserve.

You’re going to go through a tough time but in the midst of it, just realize that it’s all worth it. You’ll be glad you found yourself and clarified your morals. You’re going to wish someday that you had taken that chance or went to that one place that people begged you to go, but those are called regrets and I’m begging you not to have anymore of them.

Please don’t ever wish your life away no matter how badly you want high school to end. High school is just a practice round and you’ll realize in college that what you do matters, whether it’s breaking you or making you, so enjoy being free of the real world’s dictation at the moment.

You may feel as if you have everything all figured out but I promise you that life will flip you upside down and when that happens, pray that you surrounded yourself with the right people and you’ll be okay

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
