Challenge
Letter to the past
A lot of strange stuff goes on in our preteen years- often, when looking back, we think of ourselves as different people. Think back to when you were 12, whether that be two years or thirty years ago. Write a letter to your preteen self, giving advice, comfort, and encouragement.
Little Pisces
Hello little Pisces,
I know to fit in isn’t your forte
You shyness comes off as awkward.
Don’t fret, little one.
Those bifocals on your face,
You’ll outgrow them and
That long thick dark curly hair
Please don’t perm our hair
Regret doesn’t look good on us
In the next few years, you’ll experience
More transitions and headaches
Your sexuality will knock you across the head
And you’ll stumble
You have a need to help people
It will do us good in the future
But please take care of you...
First.
You’re just as important
Please Remember that.
No need to be frightened
You’ll learn and learn
The hard way more than anything
The moment you think of bleeding
Yourself…
Remember pain is needed to survive
But love is given freely
So accept it.
Don’t run.
