Dear Jacquelyn,
its me.. you. I have somethings I need to tell you.. us.
if i went back 10 years i’d be talking to 9 year old me. a 9 year old who would not care what i told her. she already knew everything there was to know.. regardless..
I would attempt to tell her what i thought would help her the most in life.
live your life to the fullest. play. make memories.
you may never understand why i did what we did for so many years. but it helped.
we are so much stronger for the pain i put us through.
i learned how to let someone in, and share the things we never could.
-sitting on his lap, i whispered, “tell me a secret.” that day we learned more than anyone could imagine, and i showed him the scars that no one but him could relate to. it was the hardest thing to learn, and to tell. we sat there crying and realized why we needed each other. don’t ever shut anyone out, keep your soul open. you never know what you may find.
i’d explain to myself that nights like this are more than worth living for.
you will go far in life, and accomplish so much.
show the world what you are made of. dont let anyone tell you what you can and cannot do. only you can decide that.
be open to everything. change. diversity. no judgements.
be independent. be secure.
know you are never alone.
remember your family and the lord always are there for you. don’t give up on them.
explore the world. explore your world.trust your instinct, follow your heart. deep down you always know what to do.
sometimes you’re gonna have to fight. and stand up for yourself. if you know you want something make it happen. say what you need to even if it is the hardest thing to do. it took us long enough to realize that honesty is the best policy. especially be honest with yourself.
don’t try to change the hard times they make you stronger. accept the people that hurt you and forgive. even if it is the hardest thing to do.you’re gonna lose a lot of the best people in the world over the next ten years. just remember all the good times, and continue moving forward. you are gonna feel lost and confused, but just remember that everything happens for a reason. and things will find there way to you. be grateful for the people that support you, and believe in karma. you’ve got amazing karma just keeping giving and the world will give back.
trouble should be me and my friends middle names. not always a good thing. but definitely some funny memories. i spent many nights younger lying to get out of my curfew. getting caught. breaking trespassing laws. lighting a mountain side on fire. driving at the age of 13. crashing multiple cars. running away from a guy with a gun. being too loud. having parties while parents are gone. parents finding pictures of the parties while they were gone. skinny dipping. sleeping on the sidewalk. fighting. spending lots of money. we are trouble, and enjoy pushing the boundaries. don’t try this at home.
