A letter from March 4th, 2021

Dear 18 year old Cleo, By now I'm hoping you've gotten into modeling and started your business with Kira. I'm hoping that you're FINALLY successful and all the studying and losing your **** over every little thing has paid off and you got your dream. I hope you left SA with Kira and I hope you're finally happy. I hope you met those 9 people you so badly wanted to meet when you wrote this letter and I hope you're that rich lady who cut all ties with her family and only helps with the financial aspects of their lives. I hope you met HIM and told him how you felt, I hope you made sure that the world finally knows your name. I hope you did what was best for YOU and for once in your life, you put yourself first. I hope you finally felt comfortable in your own skin and felt proud of who you are and that you're still Treating People With Kindness after 5 years. I hope they got back together and you went to their concert and you finally had a real smile on your face. I hope you told him what he meant to you and I hope you told him what a huge impact he had on your life. I hope you met him and held him for as long as he let you and you cherished it as much as 12-13 year old you would've. I hope you fell in love with HIM and he fell in love with you, I hope he said "fvck the age difference" and he proposed to you. I hope he still means the world to you and I hope you mean the world to him. I hope life got better and everything turned out okay and you got the chance to be happy and I hope you stay happy. If you got famous, don't read into the hate and don't let your status get to your head. Stay as grounded as he did and hopefully still is after 16 years. Don't do anything he wouldn't do and make him and yourself proud. And if none of this happened and you're working 8 to 5, 5 days a week as an English teacher then just remember how hard you tried and how even when you felt like giving up you remembered him and thought about what he'd do. Remember how much passion and effort you put into it all and remember how much you wanted it. Don't give up, C. One Direction is the best boyband and Harry Edward Styles owns your ***. -Love, C
