Thank you for sticking it out in the worst of times. You're 21 now and still struggling a little bit, but I want you to know you would be damn proud of yourself. The great future you seek is really close, just 11 months away. It's beautiful. Hang in there. No one will stop you but you.

 When you fall in love with him, listen to you heart. Don't sabotage it. Give your all. Because he got tired of chasing you. And you chased him too late.

 Tell her not to take that road trip. We miss her everyday.

 Don't be embarressed by your red hair, your friends may give you crap and joke, but more than a handful of guys you do and don't know will tell you it's sexy. Stop dying it brown. Embrace it.

 Don't underestimate yourself; you are an amazing and strong person. Stop comparing yourself to people who are nothing like you. You can do anything you set your mind to. I believe in you.

 Reach out, be confident, meet people.

 don't be so eager to grow up...and remember that sometimes saying "no" is a good thing.

 Learn to respect yourself.
