A Letter To My 10 Year Old Self

Hello peoples! This is my first scheduled post in like forever. I’m getting back on track. Hopefully.... Maybe... I don’t know. I will try which is better then not trying and yes I have heard that Yoda quote. So two days ago about a week ago I did a post that was a letter to my 8th grade/about to start high school self and I think some of you guys liked it. A couple peoples said it was a good idea and there was a lot of comments on it so why not do it again? Also not related to the post but all day today I have been walking around the house dancing and singing (in my head because reasons) and thinking how fun it would be to be in a musical and I don’t know why I’m telling you this but whatever. Now back to the post! So in this post I am going to do a little letter to my 10 year old self. I am 12 now so I would have been 10, 2 years ago. This might not seemed like a long time but I have changed a lot these past two years so it makes sense, ok. Don’t question me.

So hi Nabila, two years ago. So if you are 10 that means you are in......... Ummmmmm. 4th grade I think. Yeah. I’m pretty sure that's right. *nods head* 

So first congrats and getting through school so far. I mean it hasn’t really been that hard but you did take you first big standardized test which is a pretty big accomplishment I must say. Let me just say it gets harder. Like way harder. Like you won’t think your the smartest person in the world anymore harder. I think I might be going to hard on you. Sorry

So blog wise your blog kind of sucks. Like big time. I’m being harsh again. Sorry. Yeah I need to stop. But like seriously. Change your blog layout. It looks really bad.

Also you need to ask or give attribution if you are going to use photos from the internet. It is like a law. Just saying. It's a thing.

You very much have talents. You might not think so at the current moment but you do. You are a pretty cool person and you don’t have to be the best at anything.

Oh and be kind to your sisters. This something that I also need to tell myself but still its always good advice.

Reading is really really important. You’re just discovering this but it really is and reading will help in so many aspects of life.

Drama is always horrible but elementary school drama is even worse because it is fake. Like seriously. It’s entertaining but it can also get you in trouble.

Your friends and family love you and don’t ever take that for granted.

You are smart enough for all of those clubs you think you won’t get into. There’s no chance of getting in if you don’t at least try.

Right now you think the world is so small. You have yet to truly explore the world and the internet. You have only ever lived in one place and you have the same friends you had in kindergarden. The world is so big and wonderful and amazing. Try to learn.

I know there are a couple girls in your grade who aren’t every kind and might comment on your fashion sense and how you do your hair and it will get to you. DON’T LET IT. You are amazing and beautiful.

Do not try to be the boss of everyone. People will hate you for that and you should probably start working on it now. It is fine to be a leader but don’t tell people what to do

Also don’t label people. You have a habit of doing that and it can sometimes offend people even though you are not trying to be mean.

Just because you are going into 5th grade doesn’t mean you are better then any of the younger people at your school. It is not age that matters but the things you do and say.

You are gong to have a little conversation with a friend of yours where that friend says something extremely racist that’s not very kind and instead of not saying anything, say that they are wrong because they are. Like seriously.

You are going to try to become friends with a certain popular person because of this persons popularity and I want to tell you know that first it doesn’t work and second seriously. 

Just to crush your spirits early so that you don’t bet on it and lose I think 5 dollars you don’t get onto the student council. A certain other person gets on instead and really he’s better at it and you still have a good year so don’t be so annoyed about it.

Next year you will be in 5th grade and although there will be a couple downs it will absolutely be shadowed by all of the amazing things that happen to you. You have amazing times with your friends and you make some new ones. You are finally the oldest on campus. Make the most of it. 

After that you will be in 6th grade. Its pretty far away from you know but I know your scared of it and when it comes time you question the school you decided to go to. The school you chose? Yeah you absolutely love it and it isn’t so scary.

You are amazing and wonderful and you need to always always remember that.

I feel like I’m mean. Am I mean? I feel like all of the other posts that I read to get inspiration for this one were all love dove and sweet and I am over here acting like a really bossy person which is what I just said not to do. I really need to work on that. So what did you think of the post? I hope you liked it and if you did feel free to follow my blog by pressing that follow button to the left of this post. If you want to see my letter to my high school self you can go here if you want to check it out. How old are you (this sounds creepy but I want to know how old my readers are)? Should I do more posts like this (like when I am older)? What would you tell to your 10 year old self if you could? Are any of you guys 10 and if so what would you tell to your 12 year old self? Do you like open letter like this? How amazing are you? The correct answer is very amazing because one you are reading my blog and two lots of other reasons. Ok bye peoples! Have an amazing day/night/afternoon/morning!

A Letter To My (Future) High School Self

I have been trying to come up with a blog post idea for like ever. Like since I woke up 4 hours ago. I have also been watching youtube but that is besides the point. As you can tell from this post I did come up with an idea and I like it. I think. Kind of. I love to read posts with either letters to your older/younger self so I though I would do one myself. This is a letter to My High School Self so me in about 3 years. Wow. I will be in high school in 3 years. That is so weird! My mind is going crazy even thinking about it. Lets get started!

Hey Nabila a couple years from now.  I hope you are doing well. 

If you remember (which you probably won’t unless you have a better memory then me) you will be reading this your first day of high school. 

You will be about 15 and a teen which I can’t currently say. 

You will have been through middle school. That time that is supposed to be awkward and weird and crazy. I hope it was good. I’m currently excited for the school year and I hope all that works out. 

By that time you would have taken all of the 8th grade tests (and hopefully passed) and you have perfected that whole test taking thing. 

By now you probably know a little bit more about what you like to do and say and maybe what you want your job to be. 

You will have auditioned for high school already and probably written a bunch of stuff for it. I wonder what High School you will be at. I’m pretty sure I know and I’m fine with that. 

So. Has any thing big happened in your life yet? If everything goes according to plan you will have been to Egypt which is crazy to think about.

Maybe if you are lucky you might have been to some other cool places as well. Like New York for your birthday one year. Now that would be cool.

Have you been in a relationship? Probably not. That is weird just to think about. You are going to be one of those people who is not going to kiss anyone till your like 25 and you know it.

Is the family ok? I hope so. They are literally one of the most important things ever and even if you are mad at them go give them a hug.

Tata Negma (or however you spell her name) is 100 by then. Wow. Having an 100 year old great grandmother must be cool (unless you know, something happened and if so I’m sorry).

If you followed my goals you will have participated in some kind of play in a lead role and entered some kind of video/talking competition. If so well done. Give yourself a pat on the back because that is cool. 

If you are not still blogging then go get on the computer and write an apology/explanation post and and keep writing. Unless of course you have become a youtube star and in that case its fine.

You are probably even more awkward now that you are an official teenager. I even feel awkward talking to you which is me because I’m not sure what to write. 

Just advice. I can see myself as that person who puts school over everything else even things like friends and family. That is ok in moderation but remember the people who love you.

Oh wow how was your 13 birthday? I hope it was fun. It is in like 3 months for me so I’m excited. 

Oh you must be excited to turn 16. The whole sweet 16 thing. That's cool. Don’t be cliche though. Do something cool and hang out with friends.

Speaking of friends you have probably made new friends by now. I wonder if you are still friends with your elementary school friends like Emma, Alyssa, Lydia, and kind of more recently Isabel. If you are still friends with them that's cool. If not then that's ok too. Friends grow apart.

If you are stilling blogging (which you better be) you will probably have 200 followers by now. That must be cool. And you have probably done something super cool blogging related like go to some event or met someone cool. Also you might have changed the blog name.

Has Taylor Swift released a new album yet? If so did you happen to go to her concert because if so that would be cool. Like super cool. Like amazingly cool. 

I wonder how technolagy has advanced. Probably not majorly but something like google glass or stuff like that might be a thing by now. If so I predicted it.  

If you are reading this then write a letter to your graduate self like the day you graduate high school or your middle school/kid self. It could be an interesting post.

Remember though that you are cool and awesome and amazing and if you try really hard and give it your all you might just get somewhere in the world. 

How was that? Should I do a letter to my younger self? I love reading posts like this for some reason but I wasn’t really sure how to write one so sorry if it is very confusing. If you are a blogger feel free to do a post like this and link them in the comments down below because I would love to read them. Do you ever think about your future self? Do you ever think about your younger self? If you could give your future self one piece of advice what would it be? Do you like reading posts like this? Do you like my blog? Remember my high school self will be reading these comments so say something cool. Are you following my blog because if not then you totally should. It makes me happy every time someone does.
