A Letter To My Fifteen-Year-Old self

Dear Nana,

First and foremost, congratulations! You are a Form 3 student now. You must be happy with your friends at school. Last year was so intense and it will be the most childish year for you. Everything is getting interesting starting this year!

As a 22-year-old, I realize that I still don't have much advice for you but remember to be strong and passionate no matter what you do. Stop playing and study! 💢 Ah! Stop taking so many selfies, you may feel regret later. 😐 

At school, you may feel you have been discriminate with so many additional classes for the top student but you are not one of them. But that's okay, school is not everything. You will start again from the basic years later and you just need to believe in yourself and work harder. Don't ever feels that you are average, your skills, hobbies will be of no use later. Just do it! I believe you can use it later and you will shine later. That's okay. High school will be the best experience of your life and I know that you really love it now. I really love the way you started to be passionate about learning English by reading books and listening to English songs. Keep it up! 💪 All the drawings gonna be so nostalgic later so keep doing it and I know you will because you love it.

Years later, rather than keeping the problems by yourself, why not you cry as hard as you can and get up to move on. From that, you can avoid depression and anxiety. 😊

Finally, no matter what happens, you have your family and friend supporting you from the back. You can be the person you want, the person you need. Keep smiling just the way you are. Stop being so 'kerek' with friends from the other classes.

warm hugs,
22-year-old Nana
