Dear Mitchie,

So, I have to do this for the school time capsule. The teacher said to write someone who you knew best, and would still understand this fifty years on, so I chose you. Because I know that your favourite colour is purple and that when you were little, your mom sang you to sleep every night, and that you're secretly afraid of the dark, except when Shane's holding onto you.

Right now, in the year 2009, you're madly, head over heels in love with Shane Gray, one third of the pop trio Connect Three. Shane is your best friend, your closest confidante, and the only one you'll listen to when he says how fantastic you are at singing. I don't know if you two will still be together when you read this. I hope you will be, because you two are absolutely perfect together. Every time he takes you in his arms, you always say how it feels as though you two are two pieces of a puzzle, made to be together. And every time he kisses you, you feel as though his arms are the only thing holding you to this earth.

You're a brilliant singer, Mitchie, you just need to believe in yourself. Everyone else does. Shane is jumping through hoops to get you a record deal. But he is still the only one you'll sing for. It's okay to go out there and share your voice with the world. They'll love you, and every word that comes out of your mouth will still be for Shane, just everyone else will get to hear you. Trust me here, take a chance.

What am I even writing? Hopefully in fifty years, you'll be happily retired from being a world famous pop star and babysitting yours and Shane's grandchildren. But even if that isn't true, don't have any regrets. You're smart, and I'm sure any choice you made was the best one possible. I know it will be, because I know you better than I know anyone else. And in fifty years time, you'll be all grown up, a mother, a grandmother, a wife and a homemaker, but to me, you'll be forever the sixteen year old girl you are now, a great singer and crazy in love with Shane Gray.

Here's to the future.

Love always,
Mitchie.
