Dear Tia of 2004,

Remember these things.

One) People change. There's nothing you can do about it.
Two) Things change.
Three) Please do not blame yourself so much. Not everything is your fault, I promise. It's okay to place the blame on those responsible.
Four) Do not be embarrassed about how you feel. Ever.
Five) Don't think too much about things you have no control over. See number three.
Six) Don't expect too much. Like I said, things happen, and there's nothing you can do to change that.

Have a good time, okay? You're a good person, I know you are. Stick with the people who have been there for you for always. A few new people will enter into your life and you're going to hope they're permanent. You're still hoping they're permanent. But who knows?

Finally, live life at its fullest. Cliche, I know. But it's a good way to look at your life. Try it, okay?

Sincerely,
Tia of 2007
