DEAR 16-YEAR-OLD ME:
1. Don't get so stressed with Algebra and Geometry--you're gonna do Theatre in college. It's okay.
2. Keep studying hard--you're going to BYU.Yeah, you heard me. :]
3. I know you've had to wait until now to date...but trust me, good and bad things are gonna come with opening your heart. Be ready for that. Be ready for the hardest couple of years of your life with regards to men. You'll break hearts. Your heart will be broken. You've had it rough with men in the past and I wish I could tell you it'll get better throughout high school. But I can't. However...
4. You're gonna get married to your best friend in four years (6/24/11). In the LA temple. All in white. With the man who would never hurt you and you'd never hurt.
*Your husband, btw, was ranked 8th in the world for Tetris--and he played professionally. Yeah, get stoked.*
5. I know the parents are driving you crazy right now--like with getting a job and acting your age and staying on top of everything--but in five years, you'll want to tell them everything that's going on in your life. Like. All. The. Time.
6. I know it's been hard fitting in with friends and not-so-friends because of religion. Love your friends and not-so-friends even if they don't understand what it is you believe in. Remain true to your friends and to your testimony and everything will fall into place as it should.
7. I know you wanna write--keep at it. I know you wanna act--it's so new to you. Keep that close.
8. You just found out you have ovarian cysts. YOU ARE STRONG. Keep running in XC and track.
9. Never forget how beautiful you are--and I know you tend to compare yourself to others' achievements and goals. You'll still do that in five years, trust me. Just know you're amazing and you have people near you and people in your future who love you just the way you are.
10. Stop popping those zits.
haha
