Hey Emily,
You're seven now, almost eight! I suppose that makes you a second grader.
Enjoy elementary school, it's supposed to be a fun time in your life! Read, giggle, and play on the playground. I know reading is your favorite thing in the world right now (it still is), but it's okay to sometimes put down your books and go run on the playground. The books will still be there when you get back.
Beg your parents to let you read Harry Potter. I know they said no last year, but ask again. The books may seem a little scary to you, but they are wonderful and you ought to give them a chance. In ten years you'll be in love with them. They are stories of magical lands, and characters that you will yearn to model yourself after, and wonderfully creative writing.
Next year your parents will get separated. I know this might be hard to hear, but they will still take care of you. They care about you so very much, they will always put you first. You'll be okay in the long run, though at first it'll be difficult for you. Just ask them to hug you. They always will.
Just for fun, ask your dad to teach you some science. He's going to teach you basic algebra this year, and it would be fun to learn some science as well. Ask your mom to speak french to you-- you know the Madeleine movies you love? You'll get to be just like her! Speaking another language! Read about real princesses, not just the Disney ones (though those are wonderful as well, just they are not realistic- girls don't actually look like that.)
Essentially, enjoy your young years, and have fun!
Love,
Your Future Self
