Hello! Hi! Hey! I cannot believe that you are here, reading this letter that twelve year old you wrote. Remember that time? When you loved blogging, books and writing? I bet that writing will never have changed; are song lyrics still popping into your head at the most random and irritating moments?
What is high school like? Is it anything of what I thought it was going to be? I hope it was; I'm so excited for it at the mo, I don't want it to let me down.
I hope I'm doing what I always dreamed to do, even if I don't know what it is at the moment. But if I look inside of myself deep enough, and try to imagine what I want to do, then surely I will find the perfect career for myself. Just remember about the journalist/author dream, 'kay?
Try as I might, I can't imagine of what advice to give you to keep on going. That's because I haven't even met you yet, and I don't know when I will! Just keep on being.. You. Unique. Just like I said in that other blog post you're cringing at. I never really did have a knack for words, did I?
If I can tell you anything, though, then be who you truly believe you are.. And keep on buying op shop combat boots.
Love from your former self,
El xx
Great post! I love writing to my future self. When I finally get around and read them, I feel like maybe life isn't so bad after all. I think of all the fun I had writing it and feel good about myself.

Yes, exactly! We think of it as the time that went wrong, yet we fail to realise that it was the time of our life!
DeleteLovely. This will be so great for you to look back on!xx
ReplyDeleteSure will be! :-)
DeleteI've loved how frequently you post now, El! This was such a fun post to read, and does an op shop mean a charity shop?

Thank you! I post frequently now because I won't be posting a lot when I go back to school; and yes, you are correct! Op shops are charity shops!
DeleteThis is a great idea for a blog post! :D
ReplyDeleteI'd love to read one if you do it :-)
DeleteThis is a great idea and I enjoyed reading it! I'm not sure what I would say to my future self, except for good luck and have fun in New York ;)
