Hi! It’s you from the future 😂… you are now 34, chubby and living in North Yorkshire! You aren’t a dancer but about to embark on a career in Mental Health Nursing.. I can hear you now.. but I’m squeamish! Yes you are but you get over it! Infact you get over so many things you are afraid of at the moment! Even spiders!!! Yes really!

So right now you are at college doing dance, I know how passionate you are about it and good for you! You recently returned back to it a few months ago as a 34 year old so the passion never dies! I do need to give you a warning though, I’m not sure if you would take it (I know what you are like for not doing what people say 😂) but I am writing to you for this particular reason. You are absolutely inseparable with a man you go to college with in-fact you might even be staying at his house at the minute. You know who I am talking about… get as far away as possible from him trust me he is the worst type of person you will ever come across. Please please just trust me and cut him out. You will be far better off away from him.

Secondly my love, you are gay. I know it’s hitting you hard at the moment and I know you try your hardest not to be but believe me you just are and there’s nothing wrong or disgusting about it… you fancy women 🤷‍♀️ just how it is. You’ll own it in years to come so please don’t waste the last of your teenage years fretting over it.

Lastly I just want to tell you… in the future you will hit some very very hard times and it will be earth shattering, but… you come through it and you will come out of the other side a fierce, passionate, brave and strong woman. But for now just enjoy yourself keep dancing, keep laughing, just keep on being you..

One last thing…. I love you ❤️❤️
