I just wanted to tell you that in 8 years time you will be about to live your dream. You will be studying abroad, and - what is even better - it will hardly cost you anything! You see, there is a cool European program called Erasmus that has a fund set aside for dreamers like you, so that you can go on adventures and learn a new language. And hopefully make some new friends. Hopefully. I know you aren't the most popular of kids, but this will be your chance to change that!
I just wanted you to know that even though life is a little sucky in that awful place they call a school it will get much better. There will be people you absolutely adore, and they will like you back! These people are supportive and kind, and all for you and your mad dreams. There are also great people who you haven't met yet; this world is big, much bigger than the four corners of the school yard, so lucky you will have a shot at seeing some of it!
And finally, I just wanted to let you know that all the rubbish that is occurring at the time of you reading this - yes, a-l-l of it! - will fade away into nothing. Those worries that seem so huge right now will be things to giggle about. (The spots won't go away, but you stop caring!) So keep on struggling little me, because everything you have done, and everything you will do, will bring you to this evening a couple of weeks from departure, and you will feel conflicted, because life isn't as easy as it is in that novel. But you will feel blessed because you know that you have stayed true to yourself, and that you will achieve something. That you have already achieved something. You will know that you are about to live your dreams, and not many people can say that.
Lots of love,
Older me.
