Dear Younger Me,
Time goes by so quickly, stop wishing it away. You keep
wishing you were older but the truth is you are going to miss it. You are going to
wish you could go back to the times when you didn't have a care in the world. Don’t
ever loose the sense of wonder and optimism you have. Remember to always tell
your parents how much you love them. They are the reason you are who you are.
They are the reason you are where you are and the reason you will get to where
you are going. There will be many obstacles in your way but don't be afraid to
take on the challenge. You are so much stronger than you know. A lot of people
will try and tell you who you should be; they will tear you apart but remember
no one knows you like you do. Stay true to yourself no matter what. Don't let
people plant the seed of doubt in your mind. Remember to always be true to
yourself despite other people's opinions. Don't be afraid to be yourself
because the people who really love you love you for you and not who you pretend
to be.
Remember to be open to new experiences. Trying new things
can be intimidating but you will be glad you did. New experiences will bring
new people into your life. God always brings the people into your life at just the right moments when you need them. Don't be afraid to step outside of your
comfort zone because that is when you achieve the most growth. Never forget how
important your education is. Only two things always go with you: your
reputation and what is between your ears. But also remember that your education
should not eliminate all the fun. It is okay to take a break, don't burn
yourself out. Do something fun every once in a while.
Just go for it. Wear your heart on your sleeve and don't
be afraid. People will break your heart and disappoint you but know that just
shows how much you care. You will be so much stronger for it. Don’t forget that if
you want to be loved you have to love yourself first. You cannot put on an act
because you can fool the world but you can’t fool the person in the mirror. If
you do not like what you see, change it. Don’t try to temporarily distort your
reality it only covers up your problems. At the end of the day we are all
learning on a daily basis. We have no idea how we are “suppose” to live. We all
are just stumbling through it. It is all about the opportunities you make for
yourself and the outlook you chose to have on life.
Have fun. Love life. Be you.
Love,
Madison
