I have thought long and hard about who I should write this 'letter' to. I thought about writing one to my granddad, or even the people who bullied me when I was in secondary school, but I finally settled on a letter to my 16 year old self.
Dear Alyssia,
I know you are scared because you are doing your GCSE's this year, and you think that you are going to fail and you'll never be able to do what you want, but I just wanted to let you know that everything will turn out OK. Although that isn't an excuse for you to stop studying! Study hard and you will do really well. Also when you pick your 'A' levels, just pick ones that you actually want to do, don't worry about what your friends are doing, or what your parents want you to do.
Also don't even be thinking about boys! They aren't worth your time right now, trust me! I know there is that one boy who you are still in love with, and I'm here to tell you, you always will be. You really need to listen to me when I say, he is no good for you. Please, please PLEASE, do not get involved with him again, it will only leave you in a giant mess, just like it did to me.
I know you are probably laughing at this and wondering why I'm ordering you around, but if I had my time again, there are several things I would do differently, and cutting HIM out of my life is the main one.
Just enjoy yourself, have fun, and NEVER put too much pressure on yourself, and you'll have a great time.
There it is! My letter to my past self, I kept it short and sweet, mainly because I couldn't think of what to write, but there you go!
