To My 12 Year Old Self

To my 12 year old self,

Why did you care about how others view you so much? Are you really boastful, arrogant, selfish? You were always special in your way, your extraordinary thoughts, those were amazing, you know. If you actually executed things like how you want them to be, there wouldn't be so many regrets tailing you like kites right now.

Must you really perform the mistakes others did on you just to neutralise the pain? Yes you were harshly bullied every single day in school, but does bullying other weaker kids makes you stronger? I don't think so. It's erroneous to express your silent agony in such an awful way. Watching other kids cry only exhort you to cry with them as you feel their torment, despair. What you should do is pick up your recorder from the trash can & use it to whack your bullies in the face. Blood may be present, but it's still better than sobbing at the corner of the class, trust me.

Oh and don't be such a rebel! I understand you hate to tie your hair every day before school & do assignments from teachers you detest, but you are a student in a good school, Alanis. Follow the freaking school rules, it's not that hard! Plus you won't believe this, but that rebellious trait of you didn't do any good in high school either. I guess I shouldn't be the one obeying rules, but creating them. (Still not an excuse alright.)

Was it too tough to volunteer for speeches & competitions? Don't be sheepish! You know you're born with an extrovert personality, so make good use of it! You dreamt so long for that story-telling competition, but in the end you just threw it to a friend because you were afraid? Come on, don't lack that self-confidence you're gifted with! Just because a horrible incident occurred that crushed your courage when you were younger, doesn't mean you'll always stuck being that way, right? If you didn't own such poor self-reliance, I bet you would had started your YouTube career when you were 10. See all the remorse?

Well, at least you tried your best being you, 12 year old self. I'm truly proud of you, and I appreciate what you'd done for your own future. Merci beaucoup ;)

HA. HA. HA.
