dear me~ a letter to my 16 year old self.
i heard about this while digging through ideas to blog about. soooo, it's basically exactly as the title says, writing a letter to your 16 year old self :) what would i say to myself? what words of advice or guidance might i give myself looking back from more an "adult" point of view. i think it's a neat concept so i'm just gonna go for it! no rehearsal, just free writing bliss~
dear me,
hey, i'm supposed to write a letter to you even though i know you'll never get it. & for some weird reason i'm already crying while typing this. yeah, we're still an emotional basket case, i guess some things never change ;)
theres just a ton of stuff i want to tell you but i must pick & choose wisely, i don't want to ruin any surprises or scare you from experiencing life. we're 32 now by the way, can you believe it? people say 30 is not old but when you turn 30, you will definitely feel old! don't worry though, we're still young at heart. right now i know you're really freaked out by guys, believe me when i say~ DON'T BE! men are such simple creatures, it's us girls that are the complicated ones. you overanalyze everything and it's a bad habit! guys even like you, because despite what you may think you are incredibly beautiful <3 inside and out. you are also far from fat, so get that negative seed right out of your noggin! geez, i WISH I looked like you now, lol. no worries though, just a lil extra cushion, nothing that can't be fixed ;) oo & by the way "lol" means, "laugh out loud", the internet is a big deal nowadays, along with abbreviations for everything.
something will happen this year that will scare you and is probably part of the reason you will struggle with anxiety in the future (yeah, all of us siblings eventually get dad's curse)! this something that's gonna happen, you're going to live through and learn from it, don't let it define you or keep you from experiencing new things. also, your time in high school might seem so boring and trivial, but it isn't. you'll remember so many things and eventually miss so many things. so, don't take it for granted and maybe even try a little harder, okay?
~ i know mom and us are really close, but don't forget to give dad a chance, too. he may spend a lot of time out in the garage but he cares so much about you and always will. he just sometimes has a hard time showing it verbally. i think this also is a "man" thing, you'll find out more about that when you get married! oops, i'm spilling the beans already. i better get going before i alter our whole future and the earth gets sucked into a huge black hole or something! god, i wish i could say more but i can't! one last thing though, give todd smith a big huge hug. even if it seems weird and awkward, just do it for me, deal?
love always~
your future not too shabby self :)
