Dear Younger Me: Emily
The truths we learn when we are young stay with us when we’re old, so it’s really important to make sure that the truths we believe align with God’s truth! Growing up, I believed a lot of lies about myself and God. Now that I know the truth, I wish I could go back and tell my middle school self these 10 things:
You matter
Your feelings are valid
Your life doesn’t begin when you get a boyfriend
Stop trying so hard to fit in
God gave you your talents and passions for a reason, so go use them
If he doesn’t like you, someone else will
Set up boundaries for your relationships (friendships and dating)
If a boy is mean to you, he’s not flirting - he’s just rude
You belong to God
You’re already beautiful
