The place where my feet took the first step,
Which gradually grew tired of walking here,
Those feet that wanted to get out of this tiny island
As fast as possible,
Those feet,
Those feet are now pacing in that airport,
With barely contained excitement;
To go back,
Back to where it started.
Hello me. How are you? Probably super happy. That’s good.
I’ve got some things to say kid, listen up.
You’ll never be society’s definition of beauty and you’ll be constantly reminded of that even when you’re 19. But learn to embrace yourself. It must be easier for you, because you’re young now. I’ve already grown up believing it was cool to hate myself. Don’t make that mistake again.
Don’t turn into a socially inept person, please. Just because your favorite youtuber says that they’re socially awkward, doesn’t mean you have to be like that too. Well, you’ll learn that the hard way.
Don’t avoid hugging people. You’ll just end up older and hug-less because people think you hate hugging. Stop denying hugs.
Spend more time with mom and dad. You’ll end up moving away and missing them all the time, because no one is as understanding as they are. Remember that. No matter how “cool” and open minded they seem.
Stop wanting to get away from where you grew up. It’s a wonderul city and you’ll yearn to come back AS SOON AS you leave. Enjoy the time you spend here, with your friends.
Also, don’t worry. You’ll have some great friends.
One of the most important thing I have to instill in you, is to trust yourself. I know its hard for you to trust anybody, but don’t include yourself in that. Trust your own decisions.
People will leave, but better people will come along, so don’t be so melodramatic all the time. Chill. You’re a child.
Birthdays are Overrated. Don’t be a dudley.
Be kind to everyone. Oh my God, you think being mean is so cool right now don’t you? It’s not. Please be kind to people.
You keep growing up, you keep changing everyday. Don’t feel stupid for liking something you didn’t before or disliking something you liked. It’s not the end of the world.
Express yourself well. Express your affections. It’s important.
Life is not too difficult, especially for you, kid. Laugh it off. Toodles.
