Ana-Kitsune
Sage In the Making
If you could send a message to the 14 year old you, be it in the future or past, what would you say?
I would tell her that somehow you will make it thru. You will be okay, and you will be happy again. You don't have to change the world. You don't have to do everything, you only have to do what you can. It's okay to be embarrassed. It's okay to feel alone. It's okay to be afraid. It's okay to admit you don't know what is right or wrong. It's okay to mess up, to fail, to cry. It's okay to say no sometimes, when it feels wrong. It's okay to say yes sometimes, when it feels right. Your going to turn out wonderful, not because you got everything right, but because you got things wrong and you learned.
Most of all, I would give her a big hug. I would hug her very tightly and not let her fight me. I know that was what she needed. She wouldn't admit it, but that's what she needed.
