A Letter To My Sixteen Year Old Self

To My Sixteen Year Old Self,

Everything is going to be okay. You're probably freaking out because you're about to do your GCSEs and you're probably thinking that this is the most important year of your life. Well let's just say it is and it isn't. It may seem like there's so much pressure to do well in your GCSEs but really it shouldn't have to be. Let's just say as your twenty two year old self. Nobody has cared that I have a GCSE in English Language or Maths or Science. They don't really matter and a grade on a piece of paper does not define who you are. I wish I could say life gets so much easier as you get older and it doesn't. However, school will be over for you in two and a half years and trust me. You'll feel much happier when you've finished school.

I suggested stop pining after the man of your dreams. You're not going to find him in school and you won't find him in university. I know you're going to develop a crush in sixth form and in university but you will find a guy and unfortunately it won't work out to well for you. My advice is the first red flag you see from a guy. Listen to it and turn around. It may save you a heck of a lot of trouble. However, you won't do that because it's already happened and we can't change the past. Yet there is a positive from that particular experience. Don't put all your eggs in one basket because that basket will eventually break and you will crack. So yeah. Anyway, that's in five years time for you so don't worry about it yet.

Now, I'm sorry to say that you will not stop being that shy, quiet girl that rarely speaks because you're still an over thinker. You overthink every situation and are afraid to speak or text anyone for fear of bothering them. I think my twenty year old self nears to work on that. Anyway, stop worrying about exams and just try to be happy with what you got. You've been through a lot already and you're going to go through so much more. It won't be easy but you'll get through it. I promise.

Just remember you're not alone. Stay close to your family because they'll always be there for you no matter what. Even when you lose friends a long the way, your family is there for life. They do love and care about you even if it may not seem like they do. They do so keep loving them and caring for them and you'll see that you're never alone.

Anyway, that's all I have to say for now to. Just be strong and everything will be okay.

Keep being you because I wouldn't want you to change for the world.

Love from your twenty two year old self.
