A Letter To Myself

Dear Christie,

Why are you still up at 1:30 in the morning eating spaghetti? Didn't you say you were going to change your lifestyle? What happened to trying to sleep earlier and conquering your midnight cravings? What happened to all the goals you set before grade 11 started? "Oh I'm going to study every night!" or "I'm not going to let facebook, youtube, blah blah blah make me procrastinate." It was so easy to say those words, but now that you're here, it's so hard.
You always compare yourself with other people. Why do you do that? Why do you compare your marks with other students? You know you can never be smart as them. Why do you compare your looks with other pretty/beautiful girls? You know you can never look like them. Why do you compare your life to theirs? You can never be who they are. I hope that one day you'll understand that you are perfect the way you are, and that God created you to be you. Not anyone else.

I want you to be happy in the future. I want you to find that career you want to go into. I want you to get into that university and study hard. I want you to proud of who you are. I want your parents to go around and say "Oh, well my daughter is this ______, and I'm so proud of her." I know right now, it's hard for you to imagine it but with the help of God, you can reach that successful point.

Sometimes life might be hard. It might feel like everyone hates you or wants you to be at rock bottom, but always know that there are those friends, or your parents, and especially God beside you. Hold God's hand while you're walking down the path of life, and everything will be alright. I love you. ^^

Sincerely,
Christie
