Hey You,
Remember that Covergirl eyeshadow palette you love? With the four, bright colors you wear every day? Wear them. Express yourself. You should join a sport, or club though, hanging around school after it is out should only be for obligatory reasons, trust me.
Remember Matt Blaser? Yeah, he's cool, but really you won't be into him. And I am glad you didn't get the nerve to kiss him after that football game. Good job. You'll meet a few great guys in high school. Take it slow, let it happen. Trust yourself. The right guy will come. You sleep next to him every night.
And about those girls who bully you, don't hurt yourself, or eat your feelings. Remember that behind every bully there is an insecurity. Kill them with kindness. Remember to love yourself and smile every day.
I know you don't like your body, but whatever you don't like, either change it or embrace it. Your family and friends love you, so don't change unless it's YOUR reason.
And last but not least, hug Kerrigan. Talk to her every day, cherish her. One day the people who are the brightest, kindest, and most inspiring won't be there to be that light anymore.
Don't take anything for granted. Be strong. Be outgoing. Take chances.
I love you, and good luck. See you in the mirror.
-You
If you have ever said, "if only I could have written myself a letter" or, "If I had only known" This is what mine looks like. I encourage you to sit down, and think. Really think about what you would tell your younger self. Would you tell your younger self not to wear leg warmers? Or would you skate over that one because you want to be expressive? This opened my eyes about my past self, who I am now, who I will become in the future, and who I want my children to be.
So please, comment your letters, put them in your facebook. Put them on my facebook page. But please post them. Love you all, see you soon.
XOXOX
