Everyone has a story. It travels and twists and winds until you're a completely different person. You'll make so many choices, good and bad and in between. If you could reach out to the old you... what would you say? Dear younger me, Oh how much you will grow. We're nothing like we ever thought we would be. Don't give up. The cats around you genuinely care. Don't push them away. Don't try to grow up too fast. Just keep trying to change for the better. Your destiny is only your own, make your choices. You're going to do things you regret, and you're going to do things that you never thought you could. You're going to go great distances for yourself and the ones you love. Life is a balance. The two steps forward always come with their respective one step back. You don't have to understand everything. I promise everything will work out in the end. You're a good cat beekit. Don't be like me. Love, older you Dear younger me, I think you can guess who I am. Or maybe we're not as smart as I remember. You're so small. Hah, you're going to stay that way. Listen close I'm not going to say it again, but everything has two sides. You're not the only one who has a story so stop acting like it. No one cat is completely evil or good. Knock that into your head. You're not even an entirely good cat like you think. Think of others. Start now. It only gets more and more difficult. Anyway, live life like you want to. Don't focus too much on all the stuff you've done, and focus on what you will do. You'll fade into history. Love, older you Dear younger me, Hi. I'm Hornetpaw, soon to be Hornet-whatevernameDelphinegivesme. I'm you, but older. Yeah, confusing, but you're still Hornetkit, right? I've got some advice for you, and I really hope you'll take it. If you don't, sad for me now, but that probably doesn't matter. At least I think so? Okay, advice time. Pay attention, I'm not repeating. Please, don't get mad at the other kits for being too loud. It's. Not exactly the best way to make friends? You'll likely end up with more friends if you don't yell at them for being too loud or interrupting your nap by falling on you. Even if you did win that playfight, ok? Also, perhaps have a bit more confidence in your running skills and actually /try/ to win at games. Hope you'll take this advice- it may get me-wait, us-some more friends! Love, older you Dear younger me, Hi, it's older you, aka Pineconepaw. You're still a kit now, in MossClan, right? I'm going to give you some advice you'll need in the next few moons. Spend more time with Roo, Fable, and Moose. Please, don't bottle up your sadness inside. It'll hurt more when you finally let it out. It's good to cry sometimes. Dreamvisit Mom. Make friends in UrchinClan. And please, don't stay stuck in bed all the time. Don't get mad at others. You might not understand what I'm saying now, but please listen to this advice. I want you to be happy like you are now. Love, older you
