Dear Past Self...
Dear past self,
I've never done this before, and I-I don't know if this is gonna be good but here it goes. You don't know me, how would you expect to after everything that happens, I'm not the you you think you're gonna be, but here I am. I know if I looked back at the paintings, I wouldn't recognize myself as the small poised perfect princess that dad wanted, not when I'm defying everything he put in place to protect me now. But let me give you some advice that I wish I knew back then to get through the upcoming months that will make you want to die but you have to push through it and I promise you will be stronger because of it.
First, Let me tell you, keep your handmaidens close. Yeah, they might be annoying cause they show up at the most inconveinient times but they're the closest thing to family you've got and I should have cherished them when I had the time. But you have the time, so make sure you do so, cause they'll be there when your flesh and blood won't be.
Second, don't, DON"T be afraid of speaking up! I regret not speaking up for people to this day. Because I knew at the time they needed what they were asking for but I didn't want to cause a scene and now they won't leave my thoughts. Don't think that just because you're only a princess, doesn't mean you don't have a voice, you do, and you damn well better use it before its too late.
And third, Don't stop dreaming of seeing the town. Cause I can tell you right now, that that dream will happen. Maybe not in the way you expect, but it will. You just have to keep dreaming.
I hope that you will become me, because I can promise you that you'll be so much more happier but only you can do that. So I hvae to leave it up to you, and whether or not you'll follow the same path I did.
I wish you luck.
Yourself.
