Dear Me

Dear my 10 year old self,
Hey, right now life is good but it wont always be. You will go through some hard times but I have some advice to help you through it.

First of all, quit blaming Dad for PA moving out. PA wanted to and it would have happened anyway. Also, you know that deep dark secret you hold inside, go to mom right now and tell her. She will believe you no matter how it seems.

Now on to the next 18 years. When you are in Jr High and want to seem grown up, realize that you are not and what you want to do is soooo not worth it. Trust me, the right time will come soon enough.

When you are in high school, you will get the guy you want but it will cause lots a problems. Don't fret the small stuff and just enjoy the time yall have together. He is a real blast but always stay true to yourself. No matter how much you try to be the girl he wants, he will still walk away. Don't worry though, you get him back when you are 18 and quit trying to be the girl he wants.

Then there is going to be a time when Mom and Dad do something that you don't understand and don't like but it really is the best thing ever. It works out great so just go with it. You and Mom end up being best friends and she really is just trying to do what is best.

Just always remember to follow your gut. It hardly ever steers you wrong when you really listen to it. Your life turns out to be what you truly wanted and you will love it.

Your 28 year old self,
Me

P.S. Don't get that perm you want so badly. Your hair wont curl and it turns out bad. Very very bad!
