The last letter: Your reflection in the mirrorHello bitch!Wow, where can I start? For 14 years of your life, I guess you can say you've made many mistakes. You let people pass you by when you knew you could be their friends; and you judged people a lot, you let people bully you to the ground, and you've matured a lot considering you in year 3. There's a lot I can write you to about I think...
You're a strong person right Joanne? Who ever pushes you to the ground; can you promise me that you'll get back up? There have been many people that have done things to you; but who cares! For a person that hates you and dislikes you, for a person that teases you and is mean to you, there are always people that love you unconditionally for who you are, not what you are. I guess you can call them your true friends. Friends that care for you. And I bet you owe them a life time of thanks because without them, you wouldn't be happy, or you wouldn't be smiling everyday. They make your life a hell lot better because they know you, and they take time to get to know you.
Your family...do you know they care a lot about you? They would do anything for you. Your brothers because you are their youngest sibling; and you're their only sister and your parents because you are their only daughter and youngest child. Whenever they yell at you, please remember that they are only doing that because they're teaching you what you shouldn't do, because you done something that they didn't want you to. And when they hit you, remember that they are only doing that because they're teaching you what you should be doing, because you done something they didn't like. In the end, you are their daughter and sister, they love you no matter what you are and they want you to succeed in life. Please do not let them down because in the future, you might not know it but you'll thank them one day.
Sometimes, you are really sad right..? You force a smile because you want everyone to know that you are happy but inside you are battling your heart against your brain isn't it? Truth is..it hurts right? You don't like being sad but you have to because many people hurt your heart but you're too scared to admit it. And when they ask you what's wrong, you're scared to tell them because you don't want them to know, and instead you hide away your feelings in your heart and bottle it up so that when you're alone, you let it all out. All the sadness turns into tears and you just cry. Cry with what you've got left. And so, you pick up the pieces of your heart, fix it again, in order for it to crumble again....but I can say to you.
Never regret anything you did. Everything happens for a reason. Laugh so hard that even sorrow smiles at you. Fight so strong that even fate accepts defeat. Love so true that even hate walks out of the way. And live so well that even death loves to see you exist. Dance like no one's watching, and sing like no ones listening. Be proud of who you are, and love yourself, even though you think you're imperfect. Do not be afraid to stand up for what you believe in because you can make a difference. At times, there may be some things you don't want to think of, but you can't even forget. There are things you don't want to continue, but you are afraid that it'll end. It's like you don't want to expect anything, but you are still willing to stand there and wait. Remember that happiness needs sadness, success needs failures, benevolence needs evil, love needs hatred, victory needs defeat and pleasure needs pain. You must experience and accept the extremes because when the contrast is lost; you lose appreciation, and when you lose appreciation, you lose the value of everything.
Each time you laugh, someone in the world is crying
Each time you wake up, somebody else is dying
Each time you hug someone, anothers up and fighting
And each moment you say the truth, somebody else is lying
Each time you make love, anothers being raped
And everytime you make a plan, for some it's already too late
This is the only life you'll live. Flaunt your stuff, work it, smile, be proud, be sassy, be flirty, be bitchy, and be yourself! I'm forever with you
Love,Your reflection,
Joanne.
