Quit being hormonal all the time. You don’t even know what hormones are… just wait until you start taking medications to get pregnant… then you will know hormonal. Or better yet, wait until you are pregnant – then you will really know hormonal. Daddy is right (yes, we still call him Daddy), you are a brat. He’s not being mean. He’s pointing out the obvious. Your relationship with dad will get better… be patient. He’s keeping his distance but you will grow closer… especially around your wedding and when you have the baby.
I don’t want to tell you much about when things will happen, because we both know you will dwell upon that. You will let life pass you by waiting for the ring and the pacifier. Stop worrying so much!! You think the world revolves around you… just wait until the world revolves around your child. Notice I am not telling you the sex of the baby – because you will start buying baby clothes now. You’ll do it anyways; they will be out of style by the time you have a baby. I’d tell you not to, but you are stubborn. Very stubborn. You will struggle to become pregnant. It will give you time to be a wife. It is the hardest thing you will ever go thru, but you will be stronger because of it. Your baby is so worth the wait. It will make you a better mother.
Your mom is your best friend, you don’t realize it, but she is. Be nice to her, she puts up with a lot of crap from you. You have no idea how good you have it with her! She will be your rock – always has always will. Someday you will recognize it. Don’t forget to tell her thank you - often. Your brothers and you will grow apart – but only because distance permits getting together more often. Don’t forget to call them. When you come together it will feel as though no time has passed. You will enjoy your nieces and nephews – they are pretty awesome.
You’ll have a zillion boyfriends - you will learn things from every one of them – mostly what you do and do not want in a partner. You will learn what hate is. But first you will love. You will have your heart broken. It hurts. It will not kill you, but it will feel like it is. Please know that you will love and be loved a thousand times more. Your husband is AMAZING!!!
College will be EPIC! You will love it! Be sure to remember to actually learn. Don’t just cram the info in your head and lose it after the test… you will wish you would have retained it… even the classes you hate. Your future husband will be a bit of a nerd – he will talk about this stuff… It will save you much Google time. What’s Google? One of the most valuable tools on the internet? What’s the internet? One of the best time passers of all time. You will make a big mistake during college. It’s not the end of the world in the long run. It’s just another lesson in life.
You will lose contact with every one of your high school friends. Every single one. You will regain their friendships later, thanks to Facebook. What’s Facebook? Maybe if I told you, you would develop it on your own and be a billionaire… but that’s not your destiny. You will make great friends in college – some will be your sisters for life. You will learn what "best friends" are after college – They are amazing. You will have an instant connections.
You will have many career aspirations. They are good for you. Keep dreaming. Even in my thirties I still dream. You will have good jobs. Be thankful.
Lastly, don’t forget to love yourself. It will be hard. Life is NOT easy – but you are who you are because of it. You are beautiful. Shine.
Love, 30 something Kim
