Dear you,
Here's some sound advice. For a long time, I had a constant problem in my life. I would be sad and angry all day, waiting for someone notice the fact that I've been sad and angry all day. There were circumstances in my life that took place, and I had no control over them. I had no control over my life situation. I had no control over the girl who bullied me because I was a chubby kid — I was extremely cute, by the way. I had no control over the fact that my friend died, my teacher died, people I thought would be here forever would no longer be with me. I had no control over most, if not all, the situations that went on in my life. I thought it would be okay to just show my frustration on my face. I thought it would be okay to let the wold know that it had been bad to me and I deserve better. Obviously, Im here to tell you that I handled this the wrong way.
I don't want you to dwell on that situation. I don't want you to walk around thinking the world owes you something because of the tough times you went through. Yes, they might be hard and they might be situations you don't think you can manage, but I want you to think about something. Do you remember that one time you thought you weren't going to make it? Here you are now, reading this letter. . . which means you've made it. You got through a hard situation.
I want you to know that it's OK to be sad about it. It's OK to cry and scream and rant and do whatever else you do to get over things. . . but this should only last for a moment. Make sure that you do not dwell on your past. Do not walk around with a look of disgust on your face. Ask yourself what could be different the next time and fix it. Now, I'm not saying you're not allowed to feel all these things. I don't think it's healthy to avoid feelings or bottle them up. I do think that finding those people and outlets will help you cure the same problem I had.
With that being said, try to smile, darling. Don't dwell.
Sincerely,
Me
