The only person's happiness you should be concerned with is your own! Live for yourself! You don't need a man, or a friend! Do only what makes you happy! You shouldn't have this trapped feeling, you're 16 years old! The world is your oyster! BE FREE!

 Accept who you are now. It makes being who you are later a lot less complicated.

 He wasn't ever worth your tears.

 I know you thought you would never love anyone as much as you loved him. You were wrong. You only loved who you wish he was. Loving someone for real is much, much better. Trust me.

 Don't hate dad so much, and don't be embarrassed to still be "daddy's little girl" He won't be around long, and then you'll wish you took advantage of the time you had with him.

 Wait until you find a nerdy blond boy who loves God like you. Don't waste your kisses on anyone but him. He loves you and shows you daily how much more your God loves you.

 Write more stuff down, I'm having trouble remembering you right now.

 You find someone who really is The One. And he's perfect. You'll love him. And so will Mum.
