Dear Seven-Year-Old Megan,
Don’t worry that your hair is always in braids. It’s the better alternative to head lice.
Thank Mrs. Lashbrooke for introducing you to your first Judy Bloom chapter book. That is the foundational cornerstone for your love of literature.
Keep making Joey play with dolls. Truth is, he needs to get out of his house as much as you need him in yours.
If you step on a crack, your mom will remain completely in tact.
When your parents fight, it’s not your fault. Be strong. Don’t cry.
Cherish the moments that you are at Bethel Methodist Church. Listen to Nellie Mae in Sunday school and dominate at ghost in the graveyard.
Tell Mammaw that you love her every day, and eat one more bite for her. That’s the least you can do.
It’s okay that you can only be Ginger Spice. Someone has to represent the redheads.
You feel alone. You’re not.
You don’t marry Kyle Grierson. Sorry to burst your bubble. That playground ceremony wasn’t valid in any state. It’s too bad too. He turned out to be extremely good-looking.
Be you.
