Blog Every Day in May: 13 year old you

'If you could talk to your 13 year old self, what would you say?'

Dear Magdalena,

this is me only 8 years from where you are now, it's crazy I know but hey, it's like harry potter and you love that (and still do by the way). now I am not going to give you brilliant advice as at the end of the day you need to figure out things yourself as that's how you really learn them but I can always share some little things with you.

you will not become a chef like you want now but that's ok because you will always have goals in your life and you will eventually get where you want to be, even though you don't know what it is yet (but I won't spoil that for you).

going to the new school will be exciting at first and you will meet many people and you will try and make them like you, don't, they don't see who you are as they are really just focused on themselves. you do meet some pretty amazing people there though, please try and keep in touch with them. there will be hard times at school when people won't accept you but you will do the right thing and learn a lot about people and stand up for yourself, be proud of yourself for doing that. the last year of school will be amazing and you will learn who you really are and what you really want.

don't let people make you feel like you're not 'cool' just because you'd rather spend your friday night watching a dvd or reading a book, just because you are a teenager doesn't mean you have to waste your time and money on going out. you'll meet people who feel the same and they are the best.

don't try and please everyone, you can't make everyone happy and if people aren't happy with your decisions don't always question yourself, maybe it's the people that are wrong and not your choices. you dreams will one day lead you where you want to be so don't ever give up on them.

P.S. maybe don't tell anyone about this letter, they'll only find it weird.

P.P.S. stick with the red hair dye! don't go black and blonde please. red is your colour!
