ME VS ME Same person different age. Dear Karina, You are so much stronger than what you give yourself credit for. You have a lot of crazy things going on in your life right now that a normal 12yr old wouldn’t. It might seem unbearable now, but please understand it’s not forever. There will be positives that come from these hard times in the future as it’s going contribute to the person you are today. Spend less time worrying about what people think or say about you because those people do not matter in the long term. Keep being a kid and keep doing those things that make you happy! Those hobbies and adventures are going to allow you to meet some pretty awesome people in the future and create an amazing life for yourself. Stay humble and never be ashamed of who you are and where you’ve come from... Especially when embarrassing photos like this pop up!
