Dear 12 year old Joshua,
WOW! What is there for me to say? You've been through a lot and you're only 12 years old. You've been through things most 12 year old's have never been through. For that, I applause you... for being strong when times got rough. I applause you for staying true to yourself, even though you truly don't know yourself yet. There are many things I would like to advise you of. The first thing I want to say, is not everyone who's there at the moment will be there for you today. Many of the people you've come across in your life will NOT stay, guaranteed. People you think are your "best friends" will become complete strangers. People you fall in love with will break your heart. People are and always will be temporary, remember that! Please don't get caught up with friends because NOTHING LASTS FOREVER. One thing I advise you to change about yourself is to not be scared and stand up for yourself. You cannot allow people to walk all over you. If you do, their words and actions will control you. You don't want that, do you? Don't be afraid to express your opinion and don't be scared to speak up for yourself.
I applaud you for writing this . You're absolutely right , you can't allow people to walk all over you . That's no way for a person to live . It seems like 12 year old Joshua and I have a lot to learn .
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing. The insight you give to 12 year old Joshua is brutally honest and I wouldn't expect anything less from you. Good job
