Thank you @Rambo and @missy For this blog homework, its made me look back and reflect on my life in the last 5 years and how far i've come.
Its the year 2012, you're 17 and finishing up highschool and youre getting ready to attend your grade 12 formal with a boy you thought you'd be with forever. Life is peachy, exciting and full of opportunity, you let yourself lose sight of that and let yourself become trapped in an abusive, one sided relationship that will haunt you forever.
1. My first piece of advice to myself 5 years ago, get the hell out of that toxic relationship, focus on yourself and keep studying makeup artistry.
2. Dont ever change who you are or how you choose to look just to be accepted by those you love, the general public and because some asshole on the streets told you you look like a "slutty vampire". People will love you for who you are, stop trying to make yourself look normal when you're miserable that way.
3. Your weight doesnt define you, what you see in the mirror and losing weight isnt what's most important.
4. Be kind and not a moody pain in the ass. Your parents are sick of you blasting my chemical romance and feeling sorry for yourself, dont sweat the small stuff.
5. Look after yourself, work hard and remember, you are loved. Five years on and you'll be a woman full of ambition and hope. Creating art, modelling, working hard and living on your own in the big, amazing world. Life goes on, people come and go, live your best life xox
