Just thought that I should give you a little pep and tell you that you will survive. Trust me, I should know because I am your future self and I think that I am perfectly fine. First, life may seem impossible right now, but you will get through it. When your head feels like it is about to explode because of all the information inside, just take a deep breath. Focus on something besides the fact that you are overwhelmed. Eventually that feeling will subside and you can continue on with life. Just remember that all that you are learning will come in handy someday whether you believe it or not. Teachers are preparing you for life, not trying to kill you. Second, you should always take time to slow down and just savor life because it is incredibly short. You never know when you will no longer be a part of Earth. That day could be fifty years away or it could be tomorrow. You never know, so you need to pay attention to all of life's little details. They may seem insignificant, but those details can teach you a lot. Also, remember that no matter how old you get, family will always be very important to you. Spend time with them and treat them like they deserve to be treated. You love them and that will never change, so show it. Instead of doing activities without your family, look for activities that you can do with them. They mean so much more than some book you are reading. One day, you will appreciate all the time that you spent with them. Those moments will be forever in your memory and you will enjoy reliving them. Here is another little life tip: do what you enjoy doing and stop caring about what other people think of you. If you love reading books, keep on reading them. If you love Christian music, listen to all the CDs that you love. If you still love Disney movies or TV shows that your sisters hate, enjoy them when you can. What people think of you now does not really matter. Some people may not like how nice you can be, but that is their problem and not yours. Don't worry about what others think of you because you will never enjoy life to the fullest if you do. One last life tip: allow yourself to have mistakes and become confident in yourself. Life will be so much better if you have a little more self-confidence. Now, I know how hard this sounds to you, but you are currently in a habit of making everything complicated. Getting confidence will take time, but you can do it. Trust your family and friends and learn to believe what they say, unless what they say is completely stupid. I hope that this pep talk is the highlight of your day and that you will listen to what I said.
Your amazing and wise future self
