Dear Drea,
I am writing to you as the 22-year-old version of yourself. There are so many things I want to tell you about your life, but I decided to refrain from telling you every little detail. I want to start this letter off by telling you to never give up. You are going to deal with tough circumstances that at times will make you lose hope, but you are a fighter and can overcome anything you set your mind to. You’re going to meet a bunch of amazing and toxic people in your lifetime. Some of these people may start off as amazing then turn toxic. Do not let these toxic people ruin your life. Clearly, these people were brought into your life for a reason, so make the best of the opportunities sent to you. You will suffer small traumatic events that will lead you to a great depression. Knowing the outcome of these events, just trust me when I say you will be fine. Trust in yourself and you will get through it. You are going to experience an extremely traumatic event in your future. Do not let this event define you as a person. You are a strong woman and remember you are not alone! When this event happens, seek help immediately. Do not be afraid to tell your mom and your people of trust. Asking for help is never a bad thing just remember that. A huge piece of advice I have for you is learn how to defend yourself. You are going to struggle with defending yourself in every relationship you are in. Don’t let people push you around. Be the leader I know you are. Enough with the negative, let’s talk about the good that will come your way. You’re going to graduate college with your bachelor’s degree in exactly 4 years. Not many people if your generation can say they did that. You’re going to own a car and a house by the age of 18. You’re going to become a writer. You will start your own blog to express yourself. You will also be a quarterly contributor to another blog you love. One of your blog posts will be seen by an organization and they will publish your work on their website. You will become a Zumba Instructor which is good because we both know how much you love to dance. You are going to have a deadbeat retail job for a while, but don’t give up the search for something better because one day you will get a call for a better job. Just be patient. You’re going to overcome some of your worst fears. You’re going to go to a NFL Football game and watch your ‘Boys come out victorious. Always remember the good outweighs the bad. Don’t give up! Much love, 22-year-old Drea 😊
