Writer's Block: Memo to Myself
Dear thirteen year old self,
You have a big exciting life ahead of you, and i know you just can't wait to get out there and live it all...
but makesure you take the time now to enjoy being young.
This is the only childhood you'll have. So don't get carried away in the future.
1. I cannot stress enough how important it is to SAVE YOUR MONEY. Put half your wage away every week in a bank account you can't touch. Not one where you can transferr it back if funds get tight. Stop wasting your money on food and clothes and god knows what. Save it! Then you won't be broke and trying to pay your parents back for a car when your 17 and really need one. I dont care what you think you want now. Save!
2. Learn good study habbits. Start keeping folders and notes now. And stop putting off assignments till the last minute. You know what you should be doing. And let me tell you this now, you won't wake up one day and suddenly start being doing assignments at the right time. Its a habit you have to force yourself to get into at a young age, like now.
3. Don't worry about boys or boyfriends. You won't have to wait forever. They'll be at your doorstep before you know it. Enjoy single life while you can! :)
4. Do volounteer work. I always wished i did it whilst i had the time. Who cares what people think of you.
5. Be yourself. Stop trying to fit in. Eventually being cool means shit. All the cool kids drop out of school and work full time for minimum wage in retail...or worse.
6. When you go on the pill, do not stop excerising. Do it more! eat less. it doesnt matter that your a skinnybitch now. Your metabolism will kick in before everyone elses. So don't wait till your fat to try and loose weight. Just don't put the weight on because it's impossible to loose! Ps. Don't start with Yasmin. Go straight to Loette and you might miss this all together.
That's about it really. I won't give too much away, because if you don't go through some stuff you'll never learn how amazing life can be...and you won't get where I am today.
You are a good person. You are loved.
