19 Years
Hello young angst-ridden Nicole,
I’d ask how you are, but you’re me just a lot older (and wiser). I’ve debated purging this document from accessible existence for a while and decided that although my scope as a 16 year old was pretty insane, not a lot of my life exists perpetually like this. So whoever finds this - sorry.
So, let’s update.
This was a wild read at my now regular 4:45 alarm. A lot has changed. You will be devastated to know it never worked out with Jason, you were never a blonde and you didn’t get that Subaru Baja you desperately wanted. I am so thankful these things didn’t work out, aside from the Baja, you would choke if you knew your current car payment and they were pretty sick. However, you grew a lot and became more than I think you ever thought possible. Did you know you own your own salon now? You’re also a Certified color expert who has been published. You traveled the world and finally made it to Japan!
This ride hasn’t been easy, it’s been full of missteps and self discovery (read: very messy). Some pretty bad stuff happened too, and you had to say goodbye to a lot of people and things you loved to get here.
I hope you know how much of your hard work paid off. I’m glad you kept fighting the good fight, I’m proud of you. But, it’s nearly past my bed time. Bed time? Oh yea, you’re a marathon runner now. We run at the crack of dawn for fun, with a bunch of friends and brag about our blisters and broken toe nails.
Love you,
N
