"Dear 18-year-old self,

I hope you’re reading this, your old journal from third grade. I have the cutest secret crush, and since you’re 18 and probably in high school, you know how to deal with secret crushes, even your own! This is the exact and sweetest confession ever! Steve said ‘I’m very sorry I let that popular girl manipulate me, and that I thought she was better, prettier, and superior to you. I realize who my real crush is, but I never told you until today, because I thought you’d hate me.’ Also, how is it between you and Steve?

(Drawing of me with an arrow saying “as cute, cool, pretty, and popular as me” and Steve in a tuxedo saying “Steve, at 17 years old!”

Sincerely,

Nine-year-old self

P.S. Do not read until 9 years from now"

[Too late for that]

I was a very arrogant 9-year-old who thought she was the main character of a romance book :,)
