A Letter To: My 16 Year-Old Self | Matti May Hardie

Hi Me,
How's it going?

How's your life going? Right now, your life has been better, but it's been worse too. Your anxiety is getting you down (how is the anxiety doing?) and your fight with depression is wearing you down too as is the stress of it all (what with GCSEs coming at the end of the year).You're anger management is much better, and you're trying to convince that mother of yours to let you go and see a specialist so that they can help you. You're struggling to accept the fact that all of a sudden, people want you to grow up and act adult. I can tell you now I feel like anything but an adult. I'm constantly getting nostalgia attacks (the question "why can't I just be a 2 year old again?" is a question I often ask myself), but I kind of feel like the knowledge that you get to have more responsibility and more independence is nice. How are you dealing with it all?


You thought you'd just started going out with a guy in your class, but actually, he was just trying to make his real girlfriend jealous; yes, there are still massive d**ks in your life. You got together on Facebook, age of technology, huh? You've argued with your other friends, but you've made up with everyone and that's made it a lot easier. You're very close to Clara too, even though, as usual, she drives you mad sometimes! Beatriz is fast becoming your best friend, even though it's kind of hard to talk to her about the stuff I used to talk about with previous best friends, but still, I'm really getting very close to her. 

I hope you've improved on your German, if not, have you started Italian? I'm doing okay with it but I could be better. How are you doing in Maths? You're useless now, and I wouldn't be surprised if you're not any better. Are you still at school? Did you do like Mum wanted and did your BAC? Or are you doing/have done your apprenticeship? I don't think you will have finished it yet, no? Are you still doing hairdressing and beauty? Or have you decided on something else?


How's the blogging going? Have you tried again with YouTube or not? I'm really enjoying blogging, it truly is becoming a passion.Everything about it, the photography, editing, writing, feedback, everything. How's your book coming on (for anyone reading this, I will tell you more about that at a later date!), have you given up on any of them? Have you finished any yet?


How's your relationship with Mum? Right now, we can be in the same room as each other without wanting to rip each other's heads off. I mean, I love her and god knows what I'd do without her, but she still drives me insane. I can't wait to move out. Have you moved out yet? Or not?


I still can't quite believe that soon, like in 3 years I'll be 16. It's quite terrifying if I'm honest. I'll be an adult soon too. Good god... Wish me luck!


Looking forward to hearing from you.

Lots of love
Me xx
