Dear Carol,
This is a whole new version of talking to myself. I am writing this letter after I have read a book called "Letters to my 16 year old self". It is a book filled with famous peoples letters in it, to their younger self's. Writing some advice for the years ahead, Advice that they have learnt threw there experiences. When I read it, I thought that it sounded like a good idea. So here is me giving it a try :)
I'm 31 years young now and I love my Life. But I have gone threw some hard lessons to receive this Happy Life. I remember the views, hopes and aspirations that you, 16 year old Carol have right now. Keep them alive. Hold strongly to them. You CAN succeed. You are good enough. These dreams can become a reality if you stay true to yourself. Your quirky personality is what makes you, you. Don't change it for anyone. The goals you have right now.... to be sealed and married in a German temple. All I will say is that you visited the German Friberg temple in the summer of 2011. To be a teacher........ again I want to share little of now and simply give advice for you then, but yes your students love you (I'm sure haha) to serve a full time Mission at the age of 21..... let me just say that heavenly Father knows what he is doing and that their are many different forms of missions in life :) To be an author..... you are the Author of your own destiny and all is in your power. As I said earlier I love my life but the road has been rocky at times along the way. Embrace every life experience. Don't dwell on Mistakes. It is Never to late to start over. Most of all have faith in yourself by remembering your self worth. I am giving you this advice to help you feel better whenever times are low, not so that you will change things. Life has happened (I feel) as it has meant to be. I would not be the person I am today Had I not taken the journey I have. Overall enjoy life... Men are that they might have Joy.
With Love from Me to Me xox

I love this idea. I'm going to get started on my story. :)
