A Letter to Me

 A Letter to Me

Dear Dani,

  This is the 18 year-old you writing to the 16 year old you. You have done a lot of things that you regret in your life. You made a lot of dumb decisions that you wish you could take back. If I could go back in time, you wouldn’t have let breaking up with your boyfriend of two years ruin your senior year. The way you broke up was difficult, his mom made you break up and that was it. You lost your best friend. But instead of letting it go, you continued to let it hurt you and ruin, what is supposed to be the best year of your life. Now, you can never get that year back and when you think about high school that is all you are going to remember. He was just a person who was in and out of your life, just like a lot of people will be and if you got a chance to do senior year over, you wouldn’t dwell on something that you could never change.

            You are stubborn, and you don’t really show any emotion. You are also caring and would do anything for anyone. You live life with almost no regrets and you believe that everything happens for a reason. But if you could go back in time, you would need to put yourself first. You give so much to everyone that you forget about what you need sometimes.

            One more big regret, and something that you would need to change if you got the chance, was not turning down that scholarship to Lawrence Technological University for soccer. You have been playing soccer since you were 4 years-old and you had no logical reason for turning down that scholarship. You used every excuse in the book to not play. Soccer was your life, when you were sad that was only thing that would cheer you up and let out all of the built up frustration.

            Overall, you turned out pretty good….. so far. You have an amazing family and sometimes you forget that. Your parents do a lot for you and you should really be more appreciative. You’re the most ambitious person you know and there are a lot of things in your life that have made you such a strong individual. Other than those few little things that you could take back, you live life with no regrets. You are the only person that can make your dreams come true. And you will.
