Hey, kiddo!

You're probably wondering why you received this letter or who sent you this. 

Surprise! It's me! You!

Confused? I am the 35-year old version of yourself. From the future! Cool, right?

Anyway, I know you are in a dark place right now and probably scared of waking up the next day because you think that you will be bullied again. Guess what, YOU ARE RIGHT! You will be bullied again and again and again until the day you graduate high school.

Life sucks... yeah, for now, but it won't last. I know because I am the 35-year old version of yourself, meaning, you will survive all of this (as long as you don't do anything stupid)! I am writing this to you now to let you know that you will get through this, you will be happy, and successful. You will be STRONGER!

Remember that it is not your fault that the people around you chose to make you feel unwanted. They can talk about you behind your back, laugh at you, and spread rumors about you all they want, but they don't know your truth. It is okay to be alone. You will eventually find real friends who will fight for you no matter what. 

SPOILER ALERT: continue communicating with your ex-GF. She will be your best friend.

You are worthy. Don't ever tell yourself that you deserve to be bullied. You are not the bad guy in this narrative. You are a superhero in the making! :) These people you once called "friends" are just cameos who will vanish in the story eventually.

You've done your part, let go. 

Hold on. Don't do anything stupid. These people will not be around anymore when you graduate. You will eventually move out and will learn to forget that they existed.

Be kind to yourself. Give yourself a treat sometimes. You deserve it.

Being silent doesn't mean you are weak. You are doing the right thing. Don't fight back. It's not worth it.

Love yourself. That is the best lesson that you can ever learn in life. 

Your life is a mess right now but things will go your way eventually.

That's all I have to say to you. You are a good person and you will become something more. Trust me!

All the love from the future,

Paolo :)
