To my younger self:
Enjoy the size 4 days, they don't last long.
No one is going to remember that you tripped up the bleachers the morning of your first day of middle school, stop crying.
Stop telling mom to buy you miss me jeans. they're too expensive and they quickly go out of style.
The Beatles were definitely a thing before you started listening to your grandpa's old White Album.
but Nickleback is still cool no matter what anyone tells you.
Grow to love your freckles and stop using moms foundation to cover them up.
Your body is not meant to look like hers.
You're not gonna grow past 5'3, volleyball just isn't made for you.
Listen to mama, he's not worth those tears. I mean he failed his drivers test... twice.
The next boy you meet will show you the first glimpse of actual love, but don't let your guard down. You're too valuable.
He'll tell you he loves you and he'll mean it, stop worrying
Stop pushing yourself so far.
You're going to be too ******* yourself, but it's going to take you far. The Grand Canyon is more beautiful than you would expect.
Moving schools will be a good thing.
Stick with the tennis player, she's going to pull you out of your darkest days.
Your first heartbreak means you're only closer to your last.
Don't go to those parties, they're not even fun.
Geometry is only the beginning. Math only gets harder.
God hears you, even if it doesn't feel like it.
Junior year will be the hardest, but don't take it out on yourself.
Talk to someone, don't keep it to yourself, it will only make you feel worse.
You're gonna miss high-school, but college will show you who you're meant to be with.
You're beautiful, and you don't need a guy to tell you that, but he's out there somewhere.
You're going to make it through the nights on the shower floor.
You're going to be comfortable with who you are one day, trust me.
You are loved, and the people you your sophomore year of college will be sure to let you know.
you are enough.
remember these things, and take them to heart, but whatever you do,
Don't stop writing, one night you'll share your life through your own words.
