Keep smiling.

Peaceful right?

To myself in the future..... I am 13 year old girl struggling with ADHD, anxiety, puberty, school, sports, music, crushes, and so much more. My life is a mess. On top of all the normal stuff that teen girls have to deal with, I think I could be bisexual. So I made this for my future self, so you can keep smiling and never, ever give up, because I'm not going to give up now. Here it is: You don't have to be smart as long as you can solve your own problems. You don't have to be perfect as long as your friends always have your back. You don't have to be strong as long as you can protect what you believe in. You don't have to be beautiful as long as you find someone who sees you as a shining star. You don't have to be what others want you to be because you're not. You don't have to be anything more than you as long as you show people who you are and don't let anything hold you back. Remember that, and keep smiling.
