Dear 15 year old me...


Dear me,

Let's start by saying it's okay to be yourself, so breathe. You're 22 and still finding your way in life, I promise you will have glimpses of pure blissful happiness. You will go through a terrible, heartbreaking event in your life but I promise you make it through to the other side, I promise you the pieces of you will be glued back together. You meet a man in your future and he is all that you could ever dream of.
 
Promise to always be yourself, even if it means you are alone at some points. You don't need a Jane Norman carrier bag for your PE kit or NewLook 'school trousers' just to fit in with everyone else. You don't need to hide from the 'popular kids' at school, in this day they really haven't come too far.
Take more photos, you love filling your house with memories. You will continue to meet random people at 22. Love your face and how fresh faced you look without make-up. Embrace your looks, you've always been ashamed of the way your eyes look but don't be any more as it makes you look like your mother more and more everyday. When you're older taking pictures of yourself is referred to as taking a selfie and Its totally acceptable. There is no need for blunt highlights in your hair so stop trying to make it cool, its still not cool.

Do not get hung up on the critical and nasty words that people throw at you, you can rise above it all. Your weight changes drastically throughout the years but remember you can still rock skinny jeans even when you're bigger.
 
You own a house and a cat and you are blissfully happy. The world is your oyster little one, keep shooting for the stars because even if you fall you'll still land amongst the stars.

So, keep smiling beautiful, you are wonderful just as you are.
