A lot of people say " If I had known this was going to happen I would have told myself not to do it", etc. Well, this is a letter to the younger me, because there is probably someone else out there experiencing what I've already gone through.

Dear me,

First of all, I want you to know that you will be okay. Whatever it is that you're going through right now, will end, and it will be in the past. Those friends that blew you off won't be in your future and can't hurt you anymore. Those people that would make fun of you in high school are currently going nowhere in life and are the joke now. You are stronger than you believe and will do amazing things.

I know right now, you think your life is over and that you will never recover. But you're wrong, trust me. You will get through those embarrassing moments in middle school and those 4 long but memorable years of high school. You will graduate from high school, and yes you will cry a little but it's happy tears. You'll go on to college and make new friends and forget about all the pain from high school. Oh and that boy you started dating Sophomore year, you move in together to your own place. You will lose friends but that's okay, people grow away from each other and gain other interests and priorities.

I want you to always know that it is okay to be yourself, don't change for anyone. Stay true to yourself, know your worth, and fight for what you believe in. It will take you farther than you could ever hope. Don't let anyone make you feel like you're nothing or that you don't matter, you do matter, it's their hideous comments that aren't needed.

Love Always,

Future You.
