I’ve been waiting for this moment

Oh my god look at you. I can't help, but look at you and cry. I hope you are strapped in because you are about to ride the most frightening time of your life. I know you're different. I know you have known that for a very long time. It's time to finally show the world who you truly are. That is just the beginning. I can't tell you much, and I won't tell you much. There are many lessons you are going to learn, and the road to learning will be incredibly dark. Even darker than the thoughts going through your head.

First, always believe in yourself. You are the only person in this world you can truly depend on, and you will be able to things that you thought you would never have the strength to do. Second, Don't EVER change for anyone. You are going to experience rejection from people you have trusted your entire life. Do not give them the power, and tell you that the way you are is an invalid existance. Third, never turn your back on your passions. Those are the things that make you a special individual. Ride those passions, and never let them go because one day you will grow to regret, and wish you could go back to what makes you happy. Trust me, it will be so hard to go back. Fourth, strength. There will come a time where you must face your demons. You will want to give up, but DO NOT give up. You are much stronger than you think. Fifth, and lastly always have a voice. Don't let others dictate the way you live your life, and tell you that your dreams are not possible because you deserve to be happy.

You can be anybody you want to be, and I know almost everything I am telling you goes against everything you have been taught. It's ok to always be different. Your parents raised you to be A, B, and C. But you be F. Be the person that you truly want to be, because I promise that people will love you even more for it, and you will be a much happier human being. I love you very much, and you may not love yourself but you will learn that lesson a little later. I truly hope you take what I have said, and remember it. Good luck, and don't worry. Everything is much better on this side if you stick to my words.

You are truly loved.

Sincerely,

Future You

P.S.

Cherish each, and every day. Take it slow, and don't forget to laugh.
