Dear Future Me .. When you wrote this you were a 13 year old girl with quite a lot of hopes and aspirations for your life in the future. You thought you had your entire life set out and who knows if it'll go the way you plan it . If it does , then cool , you got there . You tried and you know what your doing . And if it didn't go the way you planned and your doing something totally different to what 13 year old you would have imagined then I hope your happy doing that thing . If your happy keep slaying , and if your not what the f are you doing go find something that makes you happy . when I write this now your stuck in year 9 of a crappy high school where you don't necessarily want to be and you'd have been much rather be home schooled but we both that probably didn't happen at all , no matter how hard you wanted it.
It's 2015 and you did a lot of travelling this year . You had it planned to go to a lot of different cities and even to Paris for a few days . I hope you got there and had the best time . Writing was ( and I hope it still is) your passion and you loved everything about it . Weather you were sat writing a post for the silly little blog you had (and who knows maybe you still have it) or you were writing an essay for school . You always wanted to write a book future me . I hope you did , or at least you tried anyway , you used to speak about it so much I feel like it would be a waste if when you finally left school you didn't give it a shot . It probably sucked because you had problems writing your millions of crazy thoughts and ideas into something that would make sense to other people in the end but You know what If you did then past you would be proud ,even if it sucked . When you look back on this ( if you ever look back on this) you'll be looking back at past me . Maybe you'll look back and decided that past you was not who you really were at all and you'll grow and you'll change and you'll leave everything behind but I hope you keep some aspects . I hope you keep the feminist rants you could do for hours , and the music that you like to blare at 3am when everyone else is asleep . I hope you still love to lounge around in over sized jumpers and wake up at midday when you have nothing better to do because you didn't make plans with anyone. I hope you keep the way you let small things please you over big things and that you still find it fun to stay up until 3am to watch a silly livestream on the Internet of your favourite Youtuber or band , because you did that a hell of a lot.
Dear future me I hope you find love , not necessarily love with a person no matter how nice that might sound but love with what you do . I hope you love yourself and feel confident and don't let people get in the way of what you feel is the best thing for you to do and if you feel that thing , whatever it may be , is best for you I hope you do it ... I hope you learn to sing . You always loved singing but the Lord knows you sounded like a dying cat so please for the love of god I hope you took some form of singing lesson. I hope you stuck to being a vegan , it seemed like such a hard decision to make at first but it's much better than piling shit into your body and you know that so stick to it . Dear future me I want you to remember to make time for yourself . It's not something you do alot of now your always talking to friends or on some form of social media platform doing whatever it is you do but I hope you've learnt that it isn't all that you need in life and occasionally switch your phone off for a few hours and ignore the world . I also really hope you move out of the town where you live now , it's boring here and you wanted adventure . A big city , not a small town . A small town like this one will never get you where you want even if you did start out here . Saying that If you do move out dear future me remember where home is.
Remember the memories you made here with friends and family and remember where it's always safest to return to If you mess up . And if you do mess up , well get used to it . Mistakes are a thing you can learn from and doing one or two things wrong down the road isn't going to fuck it all up forever , get back up and keep going.
Dear future me , this was your letter from past you , don't forget who she was and who you are now .
I hope you look back on this In the future and see how mature and kind hearted you were, I loved this post (and your blog!) it's was actually quite moving xxxx
