Do you want the good news? Or the bad? The good news is we’re happy! The bad’s that we’re still barking mad! Round bout now you are leaving that strange emo phase when black nails, ribbons. lace and a moody face were all the craze! Now I am still convinced that all that you’re about to witness all the heart break, all the mistakes, all those failed attempts at fitness, Every tear, and shout and giggle, has gone towards creating me, and I wouldn’t change a single second, or your happiness or misery but with all that said I think there are some things you ought to know just to make your journey smoother, a bit less bumpy on the go, 1! Don’t compare yourself To every girl you’ve met Their bigger boobs, their longer legs their better make up, coz I will bet that every girl that we ever met compared themselves to us our curvy waist, our curly hair when all we though was “What’s The Fuss?” You’re not them and they’re not you and holy crap that’s nice so stop comparing, start self caring coz all you are will more than suffice 2 Hold your horses! take things slower, think it through, you’re so good at jumping in the deep without a freaking clue You fall in love with best case scenarios whilst ignoring all the worst so when the worst comes rollin’ round your bubble’s quickly burst. Fight that urge to race ahead Be the tortoise, not the hare, You’ll see the end before it’s here, not fall straight over it when you’re there! 3 Take time to date yourself, don’t let guys state your worth, coz half the guys you end up being with just didn’t deserve everything you had to offer, coz you didn’t learnt to love yourself before you asked a boy to love you, which got you left up on a shelf. Figure out exactly who you are, and then be daring, but you’ve got to be more careful when it’s your heart that you are sharing. Aside from that, I don’t think I’d change another thing, Even that stupid decision you make that 2012 will bring… But remember, there will be times, when it feels like all is lost, and there’s no way out from all that doubt and every bridge has been crossed But if you call it quits you’ll never see where we end up, and I gotta say, it’s pretty freaking cool so don’t give up. Life has got this funny way of being really bad and then just like that the light comes out and you will feel so glad that you held on that bit longer So you can lay out in the sun and I hope that I can make you proud, Love from Me at Twenty-one
