Dear 13-year-old Timmy,
This is coming to you from the future. First of all, chill the f*ck out. Let's face it, you're pretty f*cking weird. The things that you think of in your head are things that should not be brought to the attention of others.
That being said, a lot of things are going to change for you very soon. Once you enter high school, it is going to be way different. It might be a little lonely, but just know that you're going to make life long friends. The friends you have now are not going to be with you by the time you graduate high school, and that's a good thing. It is a very good thing. These friends will be here for the long haul, which is something you need.
The only thing that might come as a surprise is that you will start to dress better. No more Under Armor t-shirts and lacrosse shorts, and no more mullet. Thank the lord honestly because people won't see you as the fat weird kid. They will see you as the chubby weird kid with style. Also, deodorant is your friend.
Your state of mind will change, as well. In high school, the desire you have to hang out with the 'popular' kids will quickly fade. You will start to see the people who you wanted to be friends with, as genuinely horrible people. I mean not all of them are horrible, but some of them are. Your view of popularity in general will change. You won't give a sh*t what anyone else is doing. To be honest, you really don't believe in popularity anymore. To you, it is so middle school to want to chase something as ridiculous as popularity.
Also, I hate to break it to you, but you won't be going to Yale like Rory Gilmore. You will learn that you actually have to work for your grades in high school. It's going to suck and your grades will sink, and mom and dad are going to get real mad, but you'll end up at a place that will make you endlessly happy.
The people who make fun of you, don't really do it anymore. You were kind of a target back in the day, but it seems to have fizzled out. No one really cares about what you are doing. People will be mean in middle school, but they get cut the sh*t by high school and realize that it's not worth it to put someone else down. Or at least put you down.
You're a pretty smart kid. You might not think it, but you are very street smart. School is going to suck because you don't really want to be there and nothing is interesting to you. That doesn't change.
The last thing I want to tell you is to stand up for yourself. Everyone is going to be telling you what to do and how to do it. Don't let anyone control and manipulate your life. There is nothing worse than realizing you are being manipulated. Tell them to f*ck off.
Sincerely,
A very happy future Timmy
