to my eighteen year old self




dear eighteen year old ataska,



hello. i hope you're happy. don't really know what to say, heh. okay um... how's school? i hope you're doing well in your studies.  i hope that you've achieved your dreams and goals by having a wonderful and successful career and the home you've always wanted!!! have you inspired lots of people? have you made your family proud? have you gone on tour and traveled the world? have you performed in front of thousands of people? if those things happened already then, congrats! you're living the dream. if you haven't [done those things] yet, please promise me this: do not ever give up. do not stop believing. do not stop working hard and don't lose hope in your dreams.
i hope you're happy, seriously. (i know i said this already but) i hope you are genuinely happy and i hope you, mama and papa are finally living a good life. yeah. a happy, healthy, wealthy and positive life filled with incredible memories and answered prayers. hihi.

now that you're eighteen i hope that you forget all your regrets and realize things you have not realized before. i hope you have a true circle of friends, i hope that you've fulfilled your greatest dreams. i hope you finally met/sang with your idols. (do you still like them at 18?)
i hope that everything is great. i hope that your dream 18th birthday became a reality! (alice in wonderland) i reaally wish all your wishes came true. 
have you been in any films? traveled the world? your album, is it platinum?
well, if you've checked off everything on your wishlist, i'm proud of you.
if you've checked off at least half of it, i'm still proud of you.
no matter what, i'm just glad because you've made it this far.

always listen to your parents- always pray- and never forget where you came from.

love,
14 year old ataska
