Dear Ate Annie,

oalenimsaj:

I don’t think you ever knew, but I have always looked up to you. You’re intelligent, hard working, and not to mention one hell of an amazing dancer. You’re close to your family and your relationship with your mom has honestly been something I’ve always admired. Right now, you’re living in California on your own and doing extremely well. You’re independent and you work hard to strive for what you love to do while at the same time understand the value of a good education. You party often, but you’re still responsible enough to not do anything stupid. lol. So many people have a lot of respect for you and you make me really proud to be your cousin. When you taught that Pd class, I constantly had people telling me how amazing you were. And after that day was over and the videos went up, I still had people telling me that. Haha. I remember thinking,“Why yes, I AM RoseAnne’s cousin!” I felt so incredibly proud to be related to you. Haha. XD Ah geez. I don’t know. You’re kinda just… everything I want to be in the future. So this is me rooting for you all the way on the other side of the continent. Keep doing what you’re doing :] And I can’t wait till Christmas!

Love Always,
Jasmine

AW I JUST READ THIS <3 Love you little cousin! Thank you, thank you, thank you for all your support!! The worst thing about being across the country is that I’m soo far from my fam and closest friends. so hearing that I have your support really means a lot!

I only sound like I’m doing a lot because i’m 100 years older than you LOL hanging out with you and seeing how you’ve grown gives me confidence that you’ll do big things with your life in the years to come as well… And as for your relationship with your parents, dont worry, it’ll get there.  Me and my mom used to fight ALL the time, and we just started getting close recently…. It’s a gruel process — sometimes we dont understand their intentions (AND HELL, THEY DONT UNDERSTAND OURS! haha)… but eventually, things pan out the way they’re supposed to.

Sorry I cant be there all the time to watch out for you (or steal you away on ‘secret mall missions’ lol).  Good luck with everything.  Stay on top of school, keep knowledge-hungry, and remember to reward yourself for all your hard-work. I LOVE YOU! see you this christmas!
