Notes to my 13 year old self

You will live in places beyond the walls of this school

There will be boys you will kiss

And you will marry the one you love kissing the most

You will fall many times

And stand up again and again

You will be proud of yourself

What you achieved or didn’t will not matter anymore

The fact you were popular or not won’t either

You will make new friends

You will never forget the old

You will loose people you love

And the universe will give you more to love instead

You will break your heart more than once

You will heal

You will become so strong

That you will be your own knight in shining armour

The baby fat will go

There will be places you will see that you only read of

And when you go there you will never want to leave

But you will have to

Because that’s life

Nothing ever remains the same

And that’s what I what I want to tell my 13 yr old self the most

Honey, this too shall pass
