DEAR 16 YR OLD ANT

Time: 8:04 AM
Location: The shitter

As a 16 year old I always wondered how my life would be in my 20s. I didn’t have the clearest vision but I was always curious to see if I had it all figured out by then. Well today I turned 24 and as I sit here taking my first 24 yr old shit... I wanna tell 16 yr old me that I STILL don’t have this whole life shit figured out. I also wanna tell him that Hollister was not it chief. This was one thing as I got older that would keep me up at night. I could not stop thinking/stressing about where I am in life and where I think I should be. Even till this day I slip up and get in my “wtf is going on” bag. But I quickly snap out of it and realize that I’m still a baby and there’s no need to stress. I’m working, creating, got a whole ass degree, have the SAME people around me for years now, met some more good people after high school who are STILL with me.

I been through SOOO much shit (good and bad) and today I’m still learning about myself and life. As I go to wipe I just wanna end it by saying that I am so grateful for everything and everyone around me. I was so nervous about turning 24 because…. well, shit. I’m getting older and life tryna fade me everyday but fuck it we here. I’m overwhelmed by the amount of love I’m getting from all the people around me so I look forward to today and the rest of my journey here with them. Thank you for all of you who read this. Thank you for all the people who wished me birthday love. Oh and one last thing 16yr old me... should have started growing my hair a lot sooner. You looked like a thumb pa!


Much love-
