How do you write a letter to a stranger?? For me, I decided to pick an age group that I would hope my letter would go to, and write from that point on… I've picked girls in the age group of 13-14 and written all of the things that I wish I would have known then...
stand up for what is right—even when it’s not the popular thing to do… in the long run, you will be better because of it… be strong and walk tall… be yourself, just as you are and believe in yourself… other girls will feed off of your insecurity—hold your head high and just keep smiling… you may not fit in now, but someday you will and someday you will thrive just being you!! it doesn’t matter what you are wearing today or who you are eating lunch with… what does matter is that you love yourself and surround yourself with people who love the “real you…” if people don’t like you for who you are, then they aren’t worth having as friends… be yourself… surround yourself with true friends who will feed your soul and stop trying to impress the “popular” girls… life will be a bumpy ride but you will find love and contentment if you can open your heart and stay true to yourself… bucking in for the next few years because people are cruel and its going to hurt… it does get better, eventually, and everything those people make you feel is all a lie… you have always been good enough the whole time… perfection is not something you strive for, it’s something you should laugh at… you are beautiful… really… don’t be afraid of not being cool… stop worrying about what you don’t have and cherish what you do have… money isn’t everything and you will learn that soon enough… if you learn that now, you will be one step ahead of everybody else—with the will and power to help everyone in need of advice… you’re a strong girl… a fighter… a lover… a teacher… a sister… a daughter… a family member… and above all, a friend… life is hard to enjoy sometimes… most of the people who are mean to you have problems of their own and most of the friends you have now, especially the ones who hurt you, will not be in your life and are not as amazing as you are… you can do anything you put your mind to—be confident and hold your head high because it will always get better… be yourself because everybody else is taken… be kind… you will never regret being kind even if it’s not cool at the moment… be confident, love yourself, and remember your family is always there… you do have friends—they may not be the most popular girls in the school, or the prettiest, but they are the truest… in life, it’s the truest friends that matter—regardless of color, weight, height, money or anything else that really isn’t important… because you care for these people doesn’t make you a loser, rather it makes you amazing…
