Hi 13-year-old Me,
I know you're clueless and scared now. I want to tell you that it's okay to fail at times. It's okay to cry yourself to sleep. It's okay to not try so hard. You can get that Starbucks coffee that you've always wanted to try. You can eat that $10 fish and chips. You can watch that horrible movie with the cute guy in it. Reward yourself. Enjoy your life. Don't be so uptight. You can be selfish.
You'll fall for a boy with a bright smile. He probably won't like you back, but talk to him anyway. Text him. Call him. Hang out with him. Then, let him go. Don't hold on to him.
Go to that college you've been dreaming of. Bury your head in books, but remember to let loose too. Meet new people. Have fun. Things may get tough sometimes, and if you ever feel like you're gonna fall apart, take a walk. Go to the sea. Shout so loudly the whole world stops and stares. Let out those tears, and when they run dry, take deep breaths then slowly exhale. Lastly, smile.
Now help me give your hands a tight squeeze. You did great so far. Keep going. You'll be fine. I promise.
With love,
21-year-old Me
I still lurk around actually
