Sweetheart, life is going to throw you a lot of curve balls.

It'll knock you off your feet and as soon as you try to stand back up, it'll push you over again. Your heart will get broken and stepped on and there will be times when you question why you're here at all. Don't worry, just give things time, it will get better, but to help you through it, I'd like to offer some words of advice:

There are people out there that will be careless with your feelings.

They may say mean things to you and you will get hurt but control your temper. This will serve you as you get older. But also, don't bottle things up. You have a nasty temper right now with a short fuse and when you bottle it up it's like opening that can of pop you dropped on the floor. Don't explode. Make sure you communicate your feelings. Tell people when they've made you angry and let them know when your feelings have been hurt. This leads me to my next piece of insight:

Don't ever lose your voice.

You're loud now and you make sure everyone knows your opinion, but the volume of the world around you increases with age and you may find your voice getting drowned out by a sea of opinions. So speak up. Voice your opinion and stand up for the things you believe in.

Lastly, watch out for boys,

especially the cute ones who are charming and always know what to say. You have a habit of codependency and you need someone to push and motivate you, not pacify you. When someone comes around and breaks your heart and it feels like your world is crashing around you, take time to heal yourself. Spend time with your friends. Grow and develop as the amazing individual you are. Eventually, you'll meet someone new that makes you happy and treats you the way you deserve to be treated.

There are plenty of obstacles that will come your way,

much more than I've told you already. Just know that I love and care for you very much, and I want nothing but the best for you. I already know with certainty that you'll turn out just fine. I have no doubt you'll see me again in a while.

Love,

A Big Girl Who Learned From Experience

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
