Dear Me,

This is important. Who knows when you will choose to read this? It could be a week from now, a year from now, five years from now, or even 10 years from now.

I hope you are in a better situation than you are in now. You give your all for little in return. You need to find you. You are the only one that will ever only have your back.

Don’t trust anyone you do not know. They might seem nice, but they’re only going to stab you in the back.

Be who you want to be. Who I want to be is someone who can do something with her life, who doesn’t need to depend on anyone. Someone who is generally happy with being alone.

Some days I think to myself that I can’t do this anymore. But then the next day comes and proves me wrong once again.

To love and to be loved is what you desire most, but that is only going to tear you down in the long run.

You’re in high school. You only live once. Isn’t that what Drake says anyway?

Keep smiling and pushing forward because one day you’re going to get into your dream college, you’re going to have the dream house you always wanted, and your bank account will not have 20 cents in it.

Thank your teachers a little more; they put up with at least 200 children a day, and they don’t need your attitude on top of it. Teachers take pride in what they do, and they are mainly the part of who we are becoming, aside from our parents and families.

Dream a little more, think a little less, and your life will be a lot better. Stop doubting yourself, and start loving yourself.
