Dear 2009 Ressa,You're a good girl. You really are a good girl. And I'm proud that you have stayed true to yourself and that you haven't changed for anyone except to become a better you. & it's good that you don't even realize how important you are to some people. Thinking about it too much won't do you any good. Instead, you show people you care. Not alot of people in this world do that, and I'm sure you've been noticed more than you think you do for it. But that's the way you like it. I'm mostly proud of what you will never do. Like how you say no to drugs, violence, and "risking" yourself into becoming a teenage mom. Maybe people think you're too naive, innocent, and a "softy" for your age, but I think you're a whole lot more powerful to be this way for this long in your life. And a lot more courageous for avoiding situations that won't let you stay that way. You know yourself very well. Also, you know people very well. You know them enough to not care about what's wrong and right. You care about them. Not alot of people have figured that out yet, but that's okay, they'll realize that when the time is right. But for now, this is the way it's gonna be. For the most part, 2009 has done you good. Hence the key word: mostly. I know, Ressa. I know you're gonna be upset. There's gonna always be something that a person wishes he/she did or feels stupid doing. There's always gonna be more chances. There will always be failures and disappointments. And I feel like you're way too hard on yourself. And you tend to overhear others who say that. You know you do. I wish you could believe in what others say sometimes, or give them the acknowledgement of you listening to them. You just change the topic and say something funny. And they'll follow on and forget what they said. It's okay for now. But I think you'll meet someone who won't buy it and will wait for an answer, and you won't be ready. I hope you'll figure it all out by then. But right now, you only understand. That's probably a good step. Just know that there are people who look up to you. Please know that. Remember that. But I'm sure you have many things to consider right now. You have a lifetime to fufill it. I'm waiting for you to start in 2010. You ended this year on a cliffhanger, nothing to really seek for in the beginning either. But I think you know what you want now, Ressa. I think you're ready for anything that lies ahead in life. Just know that the 1993-2008 Ressa's thank you. Can't wait to see you soon.
With love,
2010 Ressa
Is there something else you want to know about me? I'll answer anything honestly. I don't have to know you well either. It can be silly, random, or as personal as you want it to be. You will be anonymous. I just feel like making something like this in order to start off the year right by reaching out to others. Feel free to ask as much as you want!
