Your life isn't going to be easy.

You're going to struggle with weight and self confidence and many other things, but it's going to be okay.

You're going to have friend problems after friend problems after friend problems, but it's going to be okay.

You're going to have a handful of awesome friends that make life amazing.

You're going to have a family that has your back no matter what.

Yes we struggled, but we gained so much more.

We gained friends that will fly to see you, and you to see them. We gained family that will drive twelve hours to come to Thanksgiving. We have friends that will blast music all the way up and scream the lyrics out the window. We have friends that make a year apart only feel like weeks. We have friends that will laugh at us when we fall, but will always help us get up. We have family that make the small accomplishments feel big. We gained so many absolutely amazing memories that no one can ever take away. They are ours forever.

So if you ask me, you're going to enjoy this life a whole lot. It won't be easy, but it'll be so worth it.
