Dear 'Old' Me:

I just want to say, look on the brighter side. It can't rain forever and I promise swear it doesn't. Don't let those girls bully you because they honestly only do it to make themselves feel better. Don't let your thoughts get the way of your feelings because you are more likely to regret not trying something then trying it. Don't shut out Dakota, you'll learn eventually things do come back and the love you shared is still burning. I'm here to tell you: Don't ever give up. Nothing is worth sacrificing your own happiness. Keep your head up, dear. Everything happens for a reason. And that reason is one great one once you get past all the drama. Somethings don't last forever but then again somethings do. Just determine for yourself what things do last. Keep your grades up and fight with Sara over who has the greatest average. Just do your best because you won't be happy in life if you don't. I know I've repeated this in many ways but it stands: keep up the good fight! Don't let them get you down, you are a beautiful, talented girl and you will grow up into a gorgous girl. Promise swear.

Love
Allison
