Dearest 9 year old self, <\/p>\n
When you meet your future best friend for the first time
\nDon’t beat up her brother!<\/p>\n
Dear 12 year old self, <\/p>\n
Climbing trees is ok, but don’t jump out, crutches are not your friend!
\nPoetry can bring you peace,
\nStay with it, this IS your friend!<\/p>\n
Dear high school girl, <\/p>\n
Yep it’s me again, continue to do the things you love, basketball, volleyball, tennis, golf, track. But once it’s over, it’s hard to bring back. <\/p>\n
Whomever i am writing to now, whatever your age is of this i will vow-
\nJust be yourself, and be fair to the masses, if they start a fight, then kick their asses.
\nDon’t ever let life get you down, you are a queen so wear your crown.
\nDo unto others as you would want done,
\nAnd remember this always, just always have fun!!
\nLove, your future self<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
