Dear Zosi,
You are still way below five feet and are wondering why all the other girls don’t look like you. Or why you don’t look like them *same difference* don’t worry my dear, it’s called late blooming. Your cherries blossom all too well eventually.
Don’t fret about mom cutting our hair constantly, one day we even have a blonde fringe! And mom not letting you wear trousers will make you love them even more in the future. She will prefer you in them than in skirts *ironic*.
I know everyone in school right now thinks your acting out because of dad’s passing, so don’t let them think otherwise. Despite all their meetings in the staff room about you, we still pass; go to a good school and even university! Dad leaving is not the end of our world, instead we all learn to be strong on our own and not vest our fate in one man. By the way you are still looking for him in every man you date!!
About that, since you’ve suffered a great heart break recently, you know what heart ache means so don’t cry when the boys steal your diary in high school and make copies of it. You will learn who your real friends are this way. Don’t give up on music and poetry even if mom and the principal say to because it’s the rhythm of your soul. One day we sing in a band and learn guitar, and post poetry on wamathai’s site. :)
Learn to smile, and not take life too seriously. I know everyone says you’ve always been an angry child but trust me...we become very pleasant and giggly!
The geek jokes...one day we live up to it and join twitter and start a blog! Damn! We even date a geek!
I don’t want to pre-empt the future because I know you will try to change it and I wont be who I am today so live everyday as it comes.
Finally friends are the wealth of your life never stop making them!
Love always...Slightly taller 23yr old you.
