Abbie, here comes the giant speech..
Abbie, I swear to God you are gonna graduate. It comes for everyone, I guess. But, when you graduate, you realise something extremely great, and uplifting. You realise you finally made it out of those horrible four years of high school, and you realise that if you set your mind to it, you will get somewhere, you just haven't decided what path to take. Me? I'm 13 years old, going into year nine now, and I've already planned ahead on my life, and it sucks because I can't ever imagine being a proper teenager again, because I worry too much about what I'm gonna do post-graduation. But, you, you actually get to decide when you feel ready. I don't exactly see where this went, but, hell. I tried.
Just know, when you do graduate, I will smile. Abbie, in the seven-ish months I've been here, you're like my sister. You're now my sister.
XO Sadie
