Dearest Little Lexi,
Don’t ever look back; always look in front of you. Times are going to get tough but you can handle it. You are so much stronger than you give yourself credit for. Don’t let other people create your moods because you create your own happiness. You will have your first heartbreak but you will end up being friends again in the future, just give him time. Don’t rush into anything and take lots of pictures. I know that you are dying to grow up but just stop and take a step back every once in a while and just enjoy it. Turn every bad memory into a good one. Play a lot of sports and try everything at least once. Keep good friends in your life and toss away the bad friends because no good can come from them. Never talk to a best friend’s ex, even if they say its okay because nothing is worth risking a friendship. Boys come and go but a true friendship is forever. No matter how irritating dad gets, you are his first kid, just take a step back and remember that he loves you. Don’t let fear stop you from taking risks and living the way you have always wanted. Don’t be afraid to stand out in a crowd. I know that you love to be the center of attention but sometimes let other people have the spotlight. Embrace your differences and don’t read too much into things. When you and dad get into an argument in the morning never get out of the truck without saying I love you. Remember you can’t change your family no matter how badly you want to so embrace the one that you have and love them unconditionally. You can do anything you want in this world so shoot for the stars and never let anyone tell you that you cant do it. Prove people wrong when they don’t think you can or when they don’t believe you because it’s great to know that you surpassed their expectations. Always try in school even though you don’t think that it matters right now. You can take this advice or leave it; Its up to you. Just know that even if you don’t your life will still turn out okay. You will have amazing friends and even though you will have the same family, you will all be pretty close. I hope this helps lexi.
Love,
Older Lexi:)
Like i said in class i loved how you mentioned you regret not saying i love you to your dad after an agruement. it gave me the the chills. something that might help alittle is taking out a few unnessecessary sentences... if you take out the lines that dont mean to much, or that you already said it be alot more powerful and get to the point. i love you. good job(:
