Dear 18 year old Me,
I wanted to give you some advice now that I'm looking back over your years. I know that moving to Arizona was tough for you. It was hard to say goodbye to your friends and everything that you loved. Don't worry, you'll stay in contact with your friends, just not the way you have planned. You will have many opportunities to go to Utah, so just hang in there. There are some great experiences that will happen because of your move, so live your life and enjoy it. Don't look back on what could have been.
*Stay close to the gospel and keep the temple as your goal. One day you will meet the man that will take you there. Read your scriptures, attend institute, and pray often
*Keep focused on school! Education is super important and will bless your life. It'll get tough, but keep working hard - you can do it.
*Enjoy time with your family. The relationships that you have with your brothers and sisters will be ones to cherish.
*Just be yourself, Don't worry about what others think of you. You are amazing!!
*Don't be afraid to talk to people. You may be shy, but you have a lot of self-confidence and it'll take some time to find it - especially in a new city.
*Use your time and money wisely - it'll be worth it.*Act instead of waiting for something to happen - you'll be so much happier
*Remember you are a Daughter of our Heavenly Father and he loves you. When times get tough don't forget that.
You will have an amazing life and there is so much in store for you. Things will happen in their own time, so don't be in a rush or get discouraged when things don't happen when you want. Take the time to find out who you are and what you want to do. Have fun and enjoy life!!
Love,
43 year old Me
