To 12 year old me,

Hey there, it’s been awhile… about ten years I’d say? Anyways, right now you’re in the middle of middle school (I’m just too funny), and you hate it.

Just be glad it’s only for three years instead of four.

You have very strong opinions, which is great, until they become very strong judgements against others. That’s not so great. You think that everything is black and white, and that people kind of suck.

Now let me tell you something: You’re right. People do kind of suck, but guess what? You’re a person also, so sometimes, you’re the one that sucks. Is that too harsh? Oh well, we’ve always been blunt.

Don’t be so quick to judge others, take a step back and realize that not everyone’s like you. Be more forgiving, because when you’re having a moment when you suck, you’ll appreciate when people are so forgiving to you.
