Ten Year Old Self

So, I saw on Facebook a post that said "Write a letter to your ten year old self." And I'm going to take the liberty of doing so here.

Dear Summer,

I honestly don't remember much about the tenth year of our life, but I remember that you'll meet this guy. For the time being I'll just call him.. C. So, you'll fall inlove with him. But, not too much long after you guys have the most amazing connection, he'll want to break up with you. Do everything in your power to to keep him from doing so. If he resists, let him go. But don't cry. I know how hard that sounds, but try not to. Oh, and, you'll get a snow globe of Vegas. Don't put it on that dresser. Put it in a box and cherish it for the rest of your goddamned life. Also, stand up to Sierra as much as possible. Don't let her get to you. It'll get better.

Dad'll go to jail for sticking up for you. He'll get accused of having a gun (even though the police searched our house and came up with nothing.) Everything'll be okay. Money will be tight, but that's okay. Money's always going to be tight when Mom and Sierra are around.

When you get into Central, don't be too obnoxious. Oh, and, keep Cassandra around.

Also, don't let Reeana go. Give her as much attention as possible. You'll know when to, trust me. You'll stay over at her house one night, and in the morning, Daddy comes over and tells you that you have to stay at Reeana's for a few weeks. You only get to see him every once in a while, but it's worth it.

Well, while you stay over at Reeana's, remember to be polite. Oh, and, don't fuck with that Wii. Things'll go bad if you do. You'll hit someone because they got a little bit too close. Anyways. You'll be lying in bed with Reeana, cuddling. Just cuddle.

When Dad tells you that you'll be moving back up to Iowa, say okay, don't cry. When you guys get up to Iowa, keep in touch with Reeana. Don't let her go. Make sure you tell her that you love her, when the time's right, of course.

That's pretty much it, sweetie. Take care.

Love,
Yourself
