Dear Younger Me

Dear Younger Me,

Who what have thought we would be where we are now. It is so funny how life can change in the blink of an eye. I'm here to tell you that life is a rollercoaster you are going to want to get off on at times, but its all worth staying on. You will cry and people will break your heart. People you thought would be in your life forever in fact and Emilie that is okay. Talk to your mom. She in the only one who will ever be there for you, she is your best friend. Do not be afraid to open up to her, she is your mom and only wants the best for you and i know our mom, she will find out anything you are hiding sooner or later. High school is going to a crazy ride so strap on and be ready for the best and worst time of your teenage years. Notice how I am saying, “teenage years” and not “entire life” because after graduation you will be the person you have always wanted to be, but to get there you must put in the work. You will feel as if nothing is important to you after your first breakup. You will cry yourself to sleep with the door locked so no one can know that you are dying inside after you best friend can leave you as if yall never met. Emilie, leave your door unlocked. Your family is the most important thing to you, not your friends. Yes of course our family is crazy and yes you can't wait to move out, but don't rush into growing up because you never get that time back. You will learn aside of you that you never knew existed. When you find out you like girls, do not back away from God. God loves you and no matter who you fall in love with. Do not choose her over God, choose both. Your first love will in fact be a girl and it will amazing. You will get butterflies anytime you talk to her, you will look at her as if no one else matters, you will say and do anything to make her love you more and she will also bring you great pain. She will turn your life upside down and back around. When drugs comes into play do not let it be your source of happiness nor let her be your sun to your sky. I am not here to tell you to not fall in love because she made us into the person we are today. Beautiful, confident, funny, smart young lady.. The pain she causes will tear you apart and have you crying till it hurts to breath, but it's worth it. Just know everything happens for a reason. Do not go back to her as much as you want to cause you will find someone else when the time is right.  Do not be afraid and do not doubt yourself. Not matter what people say or act, keep your head up and keep eyes out for who are your real friends. Emilie, life is beautiful and just all around amazing. LEARN TO LOVE YOURSELF AS SOON AS YOU CAN. I love you so much Emilie and I wish you the best for the life ahead on you, but honey life is what you make it and make sure to just stop. Stop, breath, and realize that you deserve to be happy.

Love your biggest fan,
