2011 me was right-- the future has so much promise and opportunity, and this past year has really shown that. Though there were low points (can somebody say "spring 2012 midterms week"?) I feel like I've become stronger and more confident in myself and my abilities. I had to make some difficult decisions and cut some things out of my life, most notably dropping German altogether, but it was all for the best. For the first time in my life I'm comfortable in my skin. Not just a little bit, either, but really really comfortable. I'm happy with who I am now, inside and out, and all the things that I'm doing. Secretary of the Asian American Alliance, (possible) VP of the GSA... I'm really proud of myself right now, and it makes me all anxious and excited to think about all the things that you could do in a year.
It's scary for me to think that by this point next year I'll have declared my major and minor as well as gone through jaw surgery. And possibly within the last month of braces. How exciting!! Eat all the apples and popcorn you can to make up for this year of having the most frustrating roundabout methods for eating those foods. I hope you're used to your allergies, too... they're a pain in the butt for me to deal with. :T
There's a lot of my mind right now (not being close to Sarah, Scarlett's death, Ray moving soon) but hopefully by this time next year you'll feel better about those things. Of course I hope to have repaired the broken bonds with Sarah but I also wish that, if necessary, you'll cut ties with her. Not saying that I want to lose her or anything but if something doesn't work then it doesn't work, simple as that. Don't cry for too long about you and Ray parting ways. Yes, there's a part of you that'll always love him but it's for the best. He'll be much happier there, and I realize now that if he's happy then I can be, too. Besides, it's not like it's good-bye! You're important to him and he's important to you, so you'll keep in touch.
And, on the topic of Scarlett, it's okay to cry. It's okay to hurt. It's natural. But don't let her hold you back-- instead, move forward and enjoy the life that she helped create for you. Never forget what she did for you (for us) and give that same gift of compassion to others. While I hope the case will have a resolution (or be closer to one) at this point next year it's okay if it doesn't. Just keep her family and loved ones in your thoughts.
Never forget the power that you have to give people a light in their lives, or to make them smile and laugh. People love you and are happy that you are a part of their life. So don't be so hard on yourself, okay? You're strong and beautiful, and there is no one else like you in this world. If there's anyone who can shine like a beautiful diamond it's you.
You are my light of hope in my life right now. Viel Glück. ♥
With love,
2012 Nilla Wafers

I know we don't talk too much anymore, but I'm glad to know you. I sincerely hope that things have gone well for you in this time; I know you have a lot on your plate, with being in college and everything. I don't know how you deal with it really, but if you've gotten this far, it must be something!
I really hope that things have gone well, at this point; I worry about you from what you've said, and if at any time over the year you need someone to come to...I'll do my best to be there. If you need some help when you see this again, the offer will stay the same.
Here's hoping 2013 is good for you. :3c

I don't know if we'll still be talking by the time next year rolls around; I certainly hope we will be, but hey, it's hard to say. But I do know that I want you to know that regardless, I will always have the highest of opinions of you. I really do admire all you do and how you keep on going no matter what is trying to keep you down. Nothing can keep you down, and you've proven that again and again.
You'll continue being an amazing person, of this I have no doubts.
Good luck this year, Connie, and stay strong! <3

I know that we've only just met this year and we haven't really talked much, but at the same time, I wish that we'll continue to be friends for next year (and the years after as well).
This year has been really rough for you, and you've struggled through a lot, but at the same time, I think you've really matured as a person. I hope that 2013 will be better for you. I hope that you'll be able to handle things a lot better, and generally, be happier in whatever it is that you're doing. I hope that you enjoy university and that you like the major that you'll be choosing.
May the rest of 2012 be good to you and that 2013 will be a better, better year for you. ♡ Hang in there, and I'm always here.
