A letter to the younger self

Dear younger me,

Hi! I hope you are doing well. I know you don't like your chubby face right now but trust me you'll miss it when you grow up. I know those stupid pimples will always appear before anything special, don't worry they'll go with time. 
You might think you are not the prettiest or the funniest girl everyone wants to be around, but who cares? You are much more than your appearance. 
You messed up a silly test. It’s okay. Life is much beyond your class tests. You'll get to know pretty soon. 
There will be times when you would want to change, to adjust with others. Make sure that in the process you don't lose yourself somewhere.
Don’t starve yourself, eat that cheesy pizza slice. 
Bunk that lecture, climb the fence, sing abruptly and dance to your heart’s content.
I hope you realise the fact that you don't have to be afraid of anything. There is nothing to lose yet. 
You’re going to experience some amazing things. Humble yourself or the universe will do it for you. The world is much bigger than you and it doesn’t revolve around you.
There is no mistake that cannot be corrected. Go ahead, learn from them.
There will be moments when you would want to give up, don't let that hopelessness drive you insane. 
You'll get past it. Just keep on moving. Everyone is fighting the same battle. 
Don't let any person with his senseless ego put you down. Know your worth and show them theirs. 
Don’t let other people rent space in your head for free. That’s valuable real estate. What other people think of you is none of your business. Be you and let go. 
Life will be nothing like you had imagined. I’ll just say that it might be a thousand times better. It’s going to take a series of failures and every one of them will make you feel like you’re continually on the verge of an impending doom. 
And most importantly, I hope you know your dreams are important. It will be the only sparkle you'll see in your eyes. 
I love you and hope you learn to love yourself at an earlier stage than I did.

Oh, and P.S. grow your bangs out, they do make you look silly.

Sincerely,

Much older and much wiser me
