Real people. Normal people. Jesus you’ll be almost 18 now right ?

What job you after ? Always wanted to be an Actor haven’t I? A Movie star broadway anything cool that’ll get me famous. Put me in a marvel or a Star Wars film that’ll be sick or a horror movie. That’s exactly what I’d want to do How’s football going? Portsmouth in The prem yet? And how about England n Liverpool ? Hope it’s all great aha Have you been training? Going to be the next van dijk if you’re not too busy being a famous actress But take education seriously right You know how much I hate english god I detest it This is so weird speaking to my future self I hope I’m going good you know Don’t want to a weirdo right :) But it’s alright if you’re a bit odd don’t be a sheep be you the real one And oo have I got a boyfriend yet? I think Riley Miller Evans is well fit but I haven’t done anything about it yet I heard he was linking some girl but it’s all good I’m trying so hard to focus on my self Be a bit selfish now and again You deserve it This is you, you’re story, so be the main character. How was prom God I can’t wait I really want a glimmering green mermaid dress (obvious not an actual mermaid tail aha) I’ll have my hair curly in a bun maybe? Half up half down? Hope you went with the girls if you haven’t got a lad yet If so make sure he’s a nice lad Remember what’s best for YOU Remember primary yeh?

Tell mum and dad and Ben and livvy and whatever friends you have right now how much you love them Because there could be times you’ll regret the nice little things And there’s no point feeling sorry for you self because you don’t have the big things because you have the little things money can’t buy 💗 And I can’t buy your happiness so work for it babe! 💞💞💞 Lots and lots Of love to future me Soph x
