To My Teenage Self,

So you have a huge decision to make. It is going to be life changing no matter what you choose to do. I can only tell you now that whatever you choose you were right.

There isn’t really much more that I can tell you but I am so proud of you, no teenager wants to be put in that situation and given ‘that’ decision. It’s hard I know. But I know whatever you choose you are going to be happy and that makes me happy.

You already know the pros and cons that come with it but I honestly think that you should ignore the cons and follow your heart but also using your head. Don’t be stupid and ignore both of them. No teenager I know would be doing what you are doing right now. Stop debating with yourself. Stop punishing yourself. Don’t feel bad that you got this opportunity and your friends and family are being forced to watch from the sidelines. I bet you that they are more proud than you think. But you can’t base your decision on your friends and family and their opinions. You do what you want.

Follow your heart and yours only. This is your decision. This is your life. This is your happiness.
