Dear Young Me,
You should have never taken that first pain pill.
-Still struggling, still young
Dear Young Me,
You have secret. Keep that secret from everyone, even your closest friends. It's only going to hurt you if you tell anyone. You truly are alone. But don't worry, it's better that way.
-No Longer Naive
Dear Young Me,
I still have no clue what's going on.

Dear Young Me,
Braces won't ruin your life. Surprisingly, your life is so much better than it was before. Told you you'd thank yourself later.
-The Straighter Teethed You.
Dear Young Me,
You make up a lot of things in your head. You are beautiful, kind, caring, and amazing. I know no one told you that enough so you stopped believing it yourself, but I'm telling you it's true. It's okay to love, you may get hurt along the way, but it will turn out better than you expected.
-Older Me
Dear Young Me,
When she knocks the books out of your hands, pick them up and just walk away. She was never worth it.....
-It's For The Best
Dear Young Me,
You did great. You did everything you could for your mom, brother, and sisters. I'm proud of you. You'll never get over the fact that he left but I assure you that you are better for it.You will NEVER be like your dad. I promise. Go get 'em kid.
-A strong and independent woman
Dear Young Me,
Don't believe the lies the world tells you.
And PLEASE don't believe the lies you tell yourself
-Older Me.
