Dear Ashley,
You probably turned 16 this year and you have many unanswered questions in your head. Starting with if you are going to pass your high school ? What are you going to choose for college ? Will any college accept you?? Will you find your True love ?? Will you become thin ??
My first advice to you is CHILL , life is going to be tough but you will have the courage to overcome many obstacles that come your way. I know you must be scared thinking about your future , but believe me ,Overthinking things will just take your time and mood . It's not worth it. You need to enjoy every second of your high school. Don't be afraid of your classmates , they are making fun of you because you seem like a scardy cat 😣 yes I have to tell you , stand up to others , don't ever think you can't do it or you don't have the brains for it. Believe me , you CAN do anything you put your mind to , You have the BRAINS too .
There will come many situations where you will feel you are alone , you will feel " why don't I have a boyfriend ? " Or even " When will my first kiss be?? " Haha , Trust me , you don't want any if those things right now , right now what you need is to LOVE your family . Yes , there must be a lot of misunderstanding happening with you and your parents. Know it is the generation gap and try your best to be a good , understanding daughter. And try to spend as much as time with your sister , you don't know this but your sister misses you so bad. Your always away from home , either at school or at tuitions and it's killing her to be always alone at home. But when she sees you , you both end up having arguments. It's really because she loves you Soo much. Give her the LOVE and ATTENTION that she deserves .
Many a times you will think that your friends are your world but it's not true , your friends are going to betray you . Don't trust them . Just keep a distance . Don't tell everything to everyone. You are too naive . You need to learn to shut your mouth sometimes. You must learn to keep secrets. You are such a blabbermouth . Well I guess you know that 🤷 .
There will only be one thing that is going to be constantly in your life. And that is not going to be money or even your friends , it's going to be your family ,so cherish them. Then don't worry about the exams , you will pass. Even get into an okay college. Well , your love life won't start anytime soon. But don't lose hope that's because you chose to wait. I would say just wait , don't make any harsh decisions. And DONT TRUST anyone much.
Girl , you got a beautiful , adventurous life ahead of you , don't let all negative thoughts to get the best of you . Be strong , be you , don't ever change for anyone. I Love you Ashley , I know you hate yourself at 16 but things will change. You will learn some hard truths. Moreover LOVE GOD , your life is going to be like a wild rollercoaster but believe me you will survive.And don't cut your beautiful long hair , if you do once then you won't be able to stop. You will do alot of experiments with it , which won't lead to any good . So try not to do a lot of different things with your hair .And alwyas know that you are beautiful inside and out , you are talented too. Don't let anyone else say otherwise. Yeah that's it!! I have warned you .
With lots of love ,
23 yr old Ashley😙😙😙
