Letter to Myself

Dear 14 year old self,
You lived through high school, surprisingly enough. It isn't so bad either. Your Junior and Senior year, you only have to go half a day. That may be what saved us, or you, or the future you, I suppose. We always want information about our future, so this is what you're getting. After high school, you make it to college. You're tempted to make a fool of yourself on a regular basis, but most of the time your reason and good judgment win. In college, we have done some crazy things. You'll get hurt by a friend, only to find that that hurt will lead you to something amazing. All in a single semester, you will become a different, more mature person. Why am I telling you all of this, knowing that you will eventually find out? Because I want you to realize what I couldn't. Everything that happens is just a building block to make you into the person that you can be happy with. Don't grow up to fast. Don't hate the world, because the rest of the world is standing in similar shoes to the ones you are wearing now, trying hard to become who they need to be. Spend more time doing what you love, and being who you are. Welcome to your life.
--Your older, wiser self.
