an open letter to younger me
dear younger me,
you will go through so much, and come out even stronger.
You will endure heartbreak again and again and not from boys that have no idea what they want but from your parents, your siblings, your high school band director, some of your closest friends, and most of all yourself.
You will want to try new things, and yes try them again and again and again but be careful of the things that break along the way.
You will change your mind over and over and over again, driving the people that love you absolutely insane.
You will not be happy when you see yourself most likely, but try looking at things you love about yourself, even if it’s just having a good eyebrow day.
You will be very focused on your future and feel like the world is coming apart when you don’t know what lies ahead of you. Take deep breaths, it’ll be okay.
You will pour your heart out to someone for the first time, and it will be very scary, but no matter how awful that boy is to you, be proud of yourself for being brave.
And most of all younger me, start drinking coffee right now.
