DEAR FUTURE 18 YEAR OLD ME FROM 15 YEAR OLD ME (WRITTEN IN 2014)
Yooooooo Happy Birthday me from me two years ago. Woah.
So today I am officially 18. I wrote this when I turned 15, I know it’s only been three years, but I’m hoping I will have changed a lot by then. I hope I am finally confident and happy with who I am, I hope I finally learned how to stand up for myself. I hope I’ve surrounded myself with wonderful people who make me feel happy and content. I hope I make people happy. I hope my family are happy.
I’m not sure what I’m taking in college, I know I’m not taking the lessons I really wanted to, because I’m scared and feel too awkward. But that’s okay. However, now I’m 18, I hope I stop lying to myself and finally accept who I want to be and focus on becoming that person. Hopefully I had a job in college and I’ve saved up.
Here’s hoping I’m less awkward, more sarcastic, funny and kind.
High school was awful for me. I won’t pretend it was the greatest years of my life because it wasn’t. I felt judged and insecure every day. I was easily stressed and annoyed and never showed people who I really was. I hope college was different. I hope I finally learned it’s okay to be exactly who I am.
I hope I learn to stick up for myself and let toxic people go, and I hope allow more kind hearted and encouraging people into my life. I hope I learn to accept my nose, because right now I hate it. I hope I fight the urge to start looking into getting a nose job, I don't want to do that. I hope 18 year old me feels the same. I've made a list of songs I listen to now, to see if I still know/like them when I turn 18:
