Dear 2018 Me♥





Dear 2018 Me, 

First of all, you smashed 2017 and truly did make it YOUR year.  You've made so many people proud, even those who aren't with you anymore, Nanny would have cried with happiness when she found out you got an A in your RS GCSE. You exceeded yourself multiple times, did amazing in your GCSEs and proved to yourself that hard-work does pay off. You allowed yourself to fall in love, you didn't let the anxiety of being hurt hold you back and look how happy you are now (you the best H). Now it's time to make 2018 an even better year with even more achievements and incredible memories to be made. 

Take time to breathe, sit back and look at everything around you. Appreciate it all. Be grateful for each and every person you have in your life. These people love and support you more than you'll ever know. You are the best version of you that you can be, you are growing as a person with every challenge life may throw at you. Thrive at everything you do, you've proved so many times in the past that you can do this. Believe in yourself. You may stumble and fall along the way, that's more than okay. As long as you keep getting back up and don't let yourself sit in a pit of sorrow then you are doing better than you know. Take your time, don't rush. Good things come to those who wait. Appreciate life. There's no need to rush through life. Create memories, lots of them. Treasure these forever. Be happy. Wear that smile of yours everyday and always find a reason to be happy, even in the worst situations. 

When things get tough know that you're not alone. People want to help and support you in every way they can. Your past selves are here for you, an accumulation of past experiences, emotions, a collection of memories, always with you. Helping to shape you into the person that you are becoming. You're braver than you think. I believe in you. I’m proud of you for following your heart in what you need to do, even as hard and scary as it may be at times. You are always and always will be a brave and strong woman, two words you don’t use often enough to describe yourself.  But they’re true, and I give you kudos for jumping into a free fall to see what you are capable of without any boundaries to hold you back.

Allow your heart to be filled with a year’s worth of endless memories that one can only hope to experience in a lifetime. Your mind is going to be so expanded that if all you have lying right in front of you at the end of this year is opportunity and ideas, well, that’s more than anyone could ask for. Let your mind continue to guide the way, but let your heart have a say. Allow your spirit to groove with each experience and continue to take it all in. 

You’ll continue to get sharper and wiser in your intentions, with who you let into your life and what makes you feel alive. Your life is about to hit an all time wow, explode in the best way possible, and everything is about to fall into place, you'll soon see that everything happens for a reason.  There will be a moment that presents itself that will make parts of your past clear. The show’s not over yet. Anything can still happen.
Reach for the stars, swing from them to get where you’re going, but don’t give up. You’re too capable to quit, even when you think you’re not.  You’ve already made it this far.  Remember when you had some of your most fearful moments wondering if this was all going to be worth it in the end?
I wish you the best of luck in 2o18. Happy New Year,. 
You've got this. 
Kiera
