*Letter to 13 year old me*

Hey you..
Its me,you from the future..everyone was kinda doing this so i figured it wouldn't hurt to follow the crowd this time round...so where to start..

Oh goodness,i can see you so clearly in my mind..13 years old,shy,carefree and a TV addict(seriously you watch too much TV,you'll get bored eventually though)..your very similar to who i am now,only am more grown and less naive..13 is gonna be a very interestin year for you,you'd best believe..you somehow,under circumstances never fully understood,pass your KCPE nd as much as you don't make it to Loreto limuru aka Kottet,as much as you wanted to,you land yourself in the last place you'd have ever expected to go...and it comes as a blessing in disguise,because the friends you make in high school are still some of your best friends many years after you clear..

Unfortunately,you still are the youngest in your class in form 1,and its not gonna change till you join campus,you'll always be the baby,and they will still continue pinchin your cheeks for a long while after..its true some things never change..but some do,like the way you stop being the chubby girl,yeah don't worry,i know the boys make fun of you(especially because your hopeless at running) but few years down the line,they'll have forgotten..well you won't become skinny thin,but a nice curvey chub chub..haha your gonna have to wait and see how that one turns out..
oh yeah,your just about to clear prima and i can see you sitting next to your biggest crush..and your probably blushin like hell when he talks to you(btw the blushing aint gonna stop any time soon).dont worry bout him,crush away..your gonna look at him few years later and wonder what the hell you ever saw in him..and anyway he was never your type ..13 is the year your gonna discover you love writing out your thoughts,and that journal you write your silly primary school things in is going to be your best friend in high school,and many years and many journal volumes later,you'll still be journalling..your main self trademark..

Be warned though,you'll discover your a phase kinda girl,and you'll have a number of those as time goes by..but don't dwell too much on such,they're just passing by..though some of them are gonna be very interestin to explore.Goodness,your white boy phase is about to start btw(Mrs CMM will be ur nickname..Chad Michael from one tree hill,you'll be watchin that soon),your gonna go crazy over the spikey hair and the punk look for a while but its going to end..

i think about you and envy you,the good girl who's a superb Christian,just as mum raised you..its gonna reach a point where you will start questioning religion and eventually stray far far away from the path but be sure you'll always acknowledge God,but its gonna take some work to go back to where you are now..anyway you'll end up being pretty much the same,with awesome friends and family..enjoy 13,its a pretty good one for you..things are gonna get tougher when u grow up and you'll need to learn how to make decisions,be a big responsible girl and stuff..i really don't want to sell out all the secrets so ill leave you to that..so cheers,see you when you get here:)

Love.

P.S Don't change a single bit of you as much as the pressure is there to do so,you'll turn out just fine,different but fine:)
