Dear Tahlia,

Let me start off by saying, Happy 13th Birthday! I can’t believe you’re this old already!

Thirteen years old is a fun and difficult age, you experience many new things and have the urge to start getting a little rebellious too! (Trust me, I know haha.) When I was 13, I struggled with a bunch of different things – bullying, friends, family, you name it! But it was a whole bunch of fun too! Always remember that whatever you’re struggling with will pass, and the happiest you’ve ever been won’t be the happiest you’ll ever be! Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there and try new things! Mistakes can be fixed, but regretting something you didn’t do can be way worse in the long run. Look forward to a new year of making friends, going new places and having fun, can’t wait to see you in the future! 🙂

God Bless,

Beverly
