Dear Me

So the last few years have been a little difficult for you haven't they! Trying to pass exams, finding out who you are and finding out who you can trust. The best piece of advice I think I can give you which I have learnt over the last 2 years is to not worry so much about trying to fit in! Use your head and your heart, you know who your real friends are and they will help you through the next few months. I'm afraid you are going to struggle with depression for the next 4 or 5 months, it will seem like everyday you just can't see a way out but I know that if you put even more focus into helping others and you really push yourself to overcome your fears everything will be amazing!

Imagine the day when you can go on another exchange and not miss home, imagine applying to University and it not terrifying you, imagine being able to go on a holiday with your friends and not getting upset, well I can promise you that this day will come and sooner than you think. I bet you can't believe that in 2 years you will be going to university to do Media Production, I know right, your convinced you can't because you haven't studied it in school, well apparently you can!

One final thing! I'm so proud of you for not stressing about guys all the time like so many of your friends seem to! 2 years later you're still flying solo but your absolutely loving it and are so glad you have waited until you go to university to start any relationships! You'll learn over the next few months (mainly due to your depression) that people need to find themselves before giving themselves away to someone else, this is the path you will take. In the next 2 years you will discover so much and will truly find happiness in your own company, so many of your friends envy you for that!

Keep following the path that I have carefully trodden and you'll be fine, we're a lot alike you know!

Love S xxxxx

P.S. Your teeth will get sorted out before university and get your ass back to the gym :p
