Going back to high school and middle school me. I feel like you always had people figured out. You knew who you wanted to listen to, who you wanted to follow & most importantly who you are.
As you advance into the world of social media I need you to know and understand the following: 1) What you see everyday on MySpace, Facebook, Twitter and later on Instagram and various other sites is only the highlight reel of people's lives. Just because your highlight reel is not as fun does not mean you have a bad life. Just live your life and do you. You won't regret it. 2) You shouldn't feel the need to post every second of your day. Hate to break it to you but most people don't care. 3) People will always we reading, watching and responding to what you do online and in real life. Watch what you post, who is able to see what you post and what others post about you. I know you won't post anything bad but just be cautious anyway. These people might soon be your colleagues and future references. Watch out for the people you care about too. 4) You don't need likes or thumbs ups to feel loved. Being loved outside of social media is better anyway.
Love and life: I really don't want to tell you much. I just want you to know you'll be ok. You are indeed one of the prettiest flowers out there and while you have bloomed in the best ways possible just know that being picked by someone too soon is irreversible and I promise that you aren't missing anything by watching your friends be picked first. Enjoy your life and bloom on. Let the bees buzz and the birds fly on by. You'll get there. I'll let you know that you have not loved yet but what you have had goes beyond that. You have learned to love yourself and know your worth. You have learned what you want and what you don't want. You know how to treat someone with respect and not be jealous or envious. You learned how to take care of yourself first. You have put your heart out there and you aren't afraid of speaking your mind. You aren't afraid of what who you like thinks of you. You are content. Stay content. Always stay content.
Direction: You will always have a hard time figuring out what you want. It isn't anything new to you now. You have many dreams. And while many people will tell you to pick one and follow it, I'm going to tell you to keep at it and try it all. Discover new things every day. If to doesn't make you happy change it. You are brilliant and you always find your own path. If it takes a while, that's ok. Just follow it.
I guess this was all just for reassurance. A little note to remind you that you are doing fine. And remember, 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 "Be on your guard; Stand FIRM in the faith. Be brave; Be STRONG. Do ALL your work in love."
