Letter To My 13 Year Old Self

Dear 13 year old Shona,

Wow you were 12 years ago! That time has zoomed past, it's almost too difficult to remember exactly what you were like. Right now at the small age of 13 you don't know what you want to do in life and others seem to have ideas. Don't worry though you have plenty of time to decide, by the age of 25 you will have only just realised what you want to do in life so don't put too much stress on yourself at 13. It is around about this age, maybe a little older, that some of your friends start getting boyfriends. You may start questioning yourself on why you can't or don't have a boyfriend but lets just be real for a second you are 13, you are just still so young. You have plenty of time to get a boyfriend so don't rush to grow up. It may be really annoying when people say you are still really young but soon you will realise just how true that is.

Just a little word of advice you should stop sitting upstairs alone so much and start spending just a little more time with the family. Life is short and they won't always be around for you (I mean you will move to Wales) so spend more time with them and enjoy their company.

I so wish I could spend a day or two back at the age of 13 just to remember what it was like exactly. Shona just remember to take life slowly, don't rush things and just have fun. You have so much to look forward to in the future.

Love 25 year old Shona.

Today is also my little sisters birthday. Happy 13th birthday Jess. I hope you have a brilliant day. Love you lots Jess xxxxx
