"At this age, everything is changing. Day by day we don't notice, but just look back over the past year and you will realize everything has. People you thought that was going to be there forever aren't, and people you never imagined you'd be speaking to are now some of your closest friends. Life makes little sense, and the more we grow the less sense it will make. So make the most of now, before it all changes once again, because, in the near future, all of this is only going to be memories.
And always remember: Be thankful that you're not where you used to be. You've outgrown so much and you're still learning.
You've survived so much which made you stronger and more aware. Give yourself credit for making it this far. The best is yet to come for you."
