Before you read this letter, I know there are some people who are going to LOVE what they are about to read and not even in a nice way. You're in my past for a reason and you are welcome to take whatever joy you want from this but I am in so much of a better place than I have been in years, and with that enjoy this letter.

Dear Adele,

I’ll be honest from the beginning, this is hard for me to write. 

To put it remotely nicely, grow a pair. Seriously grow up, stop stressing out all the time because you are missing out on sleep which is why you are crying all the time.

Get your priorities right too. Drowning your sorrows, which aren’t all that bad, is not a good idea, and change your University course for goodness sake, Maths is hard and you are so much better at business.

You most definitely do not need a guy to make you happy. You know that one you think is so great? He’s a prick, always has been and always will be, no matter what anyone says. Forget about him now because he is so not worth your tears.

Oh and all that comfort eating, it is so not worth the pain in the end. It causes you way too many problems. You eat shit and feel like it too.

All else I have to say is that it can only get better from here.

See you in a few years,

21 year old Adele

P… is for Present

I’ve mentioned many times before that I think it’s important to live in the present moment. And as I’ve also mentioned before, there are some circumstances where I have to think about the future and take it into account when making decisions.

However, for the short term, it’s all about right now. There’s no point in worrying about what is going to happen in a year or even 10 years because whatever is meant to be will be.

As my mum told me “It will all be alright in the end, and if it's not alright then it's not the end”. And she is so right (see mum!), everything will eventually work out. Even if things are tough right now, it will all figure itself out soon enough.

F…is for Future

This is something that I try to stay positive about, and trust me it isn’t always easy. Over the past year or so there have been a few unfortunate situations that have left my future undetermined. Not something I’m proud of but I wouldn’t be who I am now if they hadn’t occurred.

I have overcome all of the hurdles and I’m certainly ready to jump over the next one whether I go with plan A, B or C (yes I need all 3 plans!).

I admit it is tough when you aren’t sure of the career you want or what your next plan is. I’ve been there and there is no doubt I will be there again. Your future is a tough one but it is what you make it (Bursts into Hannah Montana song Life’s What You Make It).

It is true though, you could sit around all day watching TV and getting fat by living off of someone else. Or you could go out and do whatever it takes to get a job or even if you are at home, try and do something with your time. I know that I have done this at some points but it doesn’t help my future at all.

If I’m not studying or at work then I’m most likely doing something blog related but at least there’s something to show for it… it really helps having a hobby like this but I also now finally have one I can enjoy and share with others.

And I know that I can use it as part of my future, making it look that little bit brighter!
