Dear younger self, 

Trust me I know you,

You are finally finding yourself in high school

You also just witnessed your first trauma

You don't know what life is and your scared,

Life ahead of you 

Is full of opportunities,

Live life like there is no tomorrow,

Have all the fun you can,

Dance like nobody's watching,

Lastly, don't let anyone talk down to you,

In the future you have a hell of an attitude
