00:02Hi, young me. It's you, your older self. I am writing you to say hello and that I love you
00:10and that I know you're dealing with a lot at home and you're doing a lot at school. Keep up
00:16the good work because the future is bright. In terms of the way that you feel sexually,
00:22you're probably in a very confused place right now. You think it's a phase,
00:27but I'm gonna let you know you're gay and it's gonna take you a while to figure
00:32this out, understandably so, because you don't have any role models. You don't
00:36have any positive figures to let you know that the way that you feel is
00:41perfectly normal and there are tons of people out there just like you, so
00:45there's absolutely nothing wrong with you. So that girl that you have a huge
00:49crush on, like the coolest girl in school, you should just tell her that you like
00:53her because she's also in love with you and if you don't tell her now, you're
00:59gonna find out like three years after you graduate and it's gonna be way too late.
01:03That would actually be like the ideal first kiss to have. If you don't go that
01:09route, you're gonna have your first kiss with a random dude at a rave, so you
01:15decide which one you want to. Also, stop over plucking your eyebrows. You are going ham on
01:22your eyebrows. It's gonna take forever to grow them back. Please stop. And I know
01:28everybody wants to be thin and skinny, but you should eat more. It's really about
01:33eating healthy, eating cleaner, and keeping up an active lifestyle. Keep up the
01:38good work. You will wind up in New York in the future as you wanted. I love you
01:42very much, and I'll see you in the future. Love, older you.
