Dear Kid,
I know that everything seems so easy and simple right now, but trust me things get super complicated in the future, but you can handle it. I know that you can persist through and get through everything with your head held high. You are an amazing, charismatic blonde haired fool with a wild imagination, who is growing into a young women with patience each and every day. I want you to know that the future is going to throw some scary things your way, but do not fret for you are the leader of your own life. That is extremely important to remember as you grow into a woman. You are beautiful, don't let anyone tell you otherwise or make you feel less.
Never let anyone walk all over you. Stand up for yourself, you deserve it. Some stuff is going to happen in the future that is going to suck. It is going feel like your world has ended, but i want you to know that it has made you who you are today. You are the strongest person i know, and i mean that. I don't think that you need to be so worried about college, it will turn just fine. Always remember to follow your heart. I know it sounds cheesy, but it is so true. While you are keeping that in mind, make sure you also follow your first instinct. Also, please don't skip an opportunity to do something because you're scared. You only have a youth once, and you need to take of that, but with that in mind, don't do anything too stupid. When growing up, don't worry too much about what other people think about you. It is stupid. The only opinion that matters is yours.
Your family is the most important part of your life, then your friends. A stable friendship can mean the world if executed right, but can also bring much agony if not. Don't ever let your guard down! Most people lie! Also, listen to your mother when she tells you life advice, she is right 99% of the time. Your dad is the SMARTEST person that you will ever meet in your life. He know so much random shit that he shouldn't. Plus the fact that he has a doctorate. And your brother is the funniest person you'll meet. He always knows how to make you laugh, and will always be brutally honest about fashion advice. All in all, growing up is going to be intimidating, and eccentric all at the same time. All you need to know is that i have faith in you. I believe in you more than anyone else does, and that's a fact.
Love Always,
Em
