Dear Sixteen Year Old Me,
if i could tell you everything you were gonna go through before you went through it.. you wouldn't believe me. at sixteen i was a good child. i never drank, smoked, or even had sex. if i told you that at 18 you were gonna drop out of college and be working a 40 hr job making minimum wage, you'd swear i was lying. at 16 i had big plans for my life. plans to prosper, and do well for myself. if i told you that at 18 you would be raped, by someone you barely knew, and that you tried to kill yourself right after that... you wouldnt believe me. or maybe if i told you that you would not only be an alcoholic, but also a drug addict... you still wouldnt believe me. if i told 16 year old me that i would be diagnosed with severe bipolar disorder at 19, i would say that it would never happen. or maybe that you would date guys just to fill an empty void you had. and that you'd never be emotionally stable... you still wouldnt believe it. but maybe if i told you that at 19 you would completely turn your life around and be living for Jesus, you would finally believe me.
i've been every statistic there is..
