Graduation

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.

That's alright.
You know, I do this thing now. On microsoft word, once a week, I write a letter to myself, to look over in the future. Maybe you could try that, so you have, say, someone to talk to? Just a thought.Author's response
I have tried that like a journal/ diary thing.
But the poems I've written on here for over a year are enough for me to look back on.
I actually wrote this one back in June, but didn't want to post it, but it was sitting in the drafts in my email so I just posted it.
I really do like the letter idea, it seems pretty cool.Graduation

Your poems are actually really good. I absolutely love them, some of them actually hit home for me. I wrote a little something based off of this a second ago, about the future and stuff. I still worry a little about it, how mine'll pan out and everything, because in year nine we get to pick three lessons to help with GCSE's and I have already chosen two. I really need to fucking learn to savour life and take it as it comes.Author's response
I saw that, I like it. I also rated it up, I'm more of a silent reader.
I have no idea what I'm going to do with my life at all. I'm not a college type person I already can tell that, so really I have no idea what I'm going to do with my future.Graduation

There are going to be a lot of times in your life where you can't see yourself doing certain things. But, honey, trust me. You will do it. You can and you will. You just have to be patient and try to stay positive, even though it's really hard.Author's response
Thank you Ellie.
