Dear Younger Self



Dear younger self,

I wish I could've told you that it doesn't matter what other people think.

Crazy right?!

But it's true. It really doesn't matter what people think of you.

You will find "Your" group and hopefully you will stay friends with them for awhile but you will also learn as you grow older people change because they care too much about what others think.

Don't change who you are just to try and fit in because in the end you won't recognize who you become

Dear younger self,

Make yourself proud with your hard work because in the end it only matters if you're proud of yourself.

Dear younger self,

You've got this and don't forget that!
