Hello, I wonder where you are and what you’re doing as you read this letter
Right now I’m 15 and there are things worrying me that I can’t talk to anyone about
I thought that if I wrote a letter to my future self
I could tell you all the things that I’ve kept bottled up inside me
Right now I feel like I can’t win, like I want to cry, like I’ll just disappear
Who am I supposed to trust to get me through this?
I’ve only got one heart and it’s been broken apart so many times
I’m living in the painful present
I’m living in it now
Hello, my 15 year old self, thank you for writing. There are things I want you to know
If you keep asking yourself what you’re aiming for and where you’re going, eventually you’ll figure it out
The stormy waters of adolescence are tough to navigate through
But turn your ship of dreams towards the shores of tomorrow
Right now don’t give up, don’t cry. When you feel like you’ll disappear
Listen to your own voice and keep moving forward
I’m an adult, but I’ve still been hurt and there are nights I can’t get to sleep
I’m living in the bittersweet present
Everything that happens in life has a meaning, don’t be scared to follow your dreams
Keep on believing
Right now I feel like I can’t win, like I want to cry, like I’ll just disappear
Who am I supposed to trust to get me through this?
Oh, don’t give up, don’t cry. When you feel like you’ll disappear
Listen to your own voice and keep moving forward
No matter how old you are, you can’t get through life without some sadness
Let everyone see you smile and go on living
Go on living
Hello to the person reading this letter
I wish you all the happiness in the world
