If you have never heard the song "A Letter To Me" by Brad Paisley, I suggest you go listen to it. It is an amazing song about Brad writing a letter to himself back when he was 17. He goes over things like his first heartbreak, passing classes, learning to let things be... It is really inspirational to me. Because I am only 19 years old.... it makes me really think, when I am his age, I am going to wish I did more when I was young and able to!
So, I decided to get the lyrics of Brad Paisley's song, and change them up to fit my life. I think it will be cool. I will be able to look back on this when I grow older, as well as maybe get something to click now.
So with saying that, these are not the REAL lyrics. A lot of them will be the same, but I am changing a few things!
A Letter to Kylie
If I could write a letter to me
And send it back in time to myself at 17
First I'd prove it's me by saying, look inside your drawers
There's a bottle of Smirnoff vodka no one else would know you hid
And then I'd say I know its tough
When you break up after eighteen months
And yeah I know you really liked him and it just don't seem fair
All I can say is pain like that is fast and it's rare
And oh you got so much going for you going right
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
He wasn't right for you
And still you feel like there's a knife sticking out of your back
And you're wondering if you'll survive
You'll make it through this and you'll see
You're still around to write this letter to me
At the stop sign at Hastings and Shannon,
Always stop completely don't just tap your brakes
And when you get a date with Michael, make sure he likes you first...
On second thought forget it that one turns out kinda cool :)
Each and every time you have a fight
Just assume you're wrong and mom and dad are right
And you should really thank your sister
She spend so much extra time
It's like she sees the diamond underneath
And she's polishing you 'til you shine
And oh you got so much going for you going right
But I know at 18 it's hard to see past each school day
This weekend everyone wants you to come Tech
But you're staying home instead because if you fail any class
Mom and dad will kill you dead...
Trust me you'll squeak by and get a C
And you're still around to write this letter to me
You've got so much up ahead
You'll make new friends
You should see your kids and husband
And I'd end up saying have no fear
These are nowhere near the best years of your life
I guess I'll see you in the mirror
When you're a grown woman
P.S.- go hug your Grandma every chance you can.. <3
And oh you got so much going for you going right
But I know at 19 it's hard to see past tomorrow night
I wish you'd study Bio
I wish you'd take your time in class
I wish you wouldn't worry, let it be
I'd say have a little faith and you'll see
And send it back in time to myself at 17
First I'd prove it's me by saying, look inside your drawers

To me
Everything in here is so true... my favorite parts of this actual song are:
"I wish you wouldn't worry, let it be. And I'd say have a little faith & you'll see."
"You got so much up ahead, you'll make new friends."
And my favorite line:
"And I'd end by saying' have no fear, these are nowhere near the best years of your life."
The lines that I added that I need to do more/should have done more:
"And you should really thank your sister, She spend so much extra time. It's like she sees the diamond underneath. And she's polishing you 'til you shine."
"Go hug your grandma, every chance you can."
"Just assume your wrong and mom and dad are right."I am too young to understand why things happen... but I am old enough to make a change in my life. I am old enough to say this is not how my story will end. I am too young, happy, and I have WAY too much going for me to let it all go to waste. I do not want to look back on life wishing that I would have done something better. I won't let it happy.
I am so thankful for everyone in my life. I am such a blessed girl. Thank you everyone who has made it possible for me to realize my worth. I love you all.
Anyways, on a side note-
My eating habits today have been fantastic! I packed lunch, dinner, and a snack and water for school today! And I ate breakfast at home! Gotta save my money! I am possibly moving out at the end of June, so I need to start saving up while I can :)
Things are really looking up for me. I am very happy.
