If you could write a note to your younger self, what would you say in only three words?
I had two thoughts. 1) Words can hurt. 2) Try your best.
What would your note say?
I think about this a lot and since starting my journey 4 years ago, I've wanted to do a few things for my younger self.
Aside from giving myself a hug- here's a vague note to myself.
There will definitely be times where you can't handle anything anymore and you'll want to let go. It's okay that you feel weak. You're not required to be strong all the time. But I hope that you will find the courage and strength to share your struggles. I hope that you find the courage not to let go and the strength to continue on because there will definitely be better and happier times. These moments don't require any strength or courage, they just require you to be present, to be there- physically, not in memory, not in thought, but in person so that you experience these happy times just the same as you experienced the bad times.
(But then, I sound so preachy to myself so I just scrap all that and I'll just go for the hug.)
Itll be alright
Concentrate On Yourself
don't be naive.
Never Let Go
you are worthy. stop people pleasing
Cling To Hope
To our younger self....
Technical this very moment is a younger self of the future you.
A message to your past does not change the past.
A message from the future can influence your present, and that will in turn lead you closer to the future self you desire and the one that is writing to you.
How we wish we could change things in the past, in the same way our future self wishes us right now to change. But thinking on that of the past will lead us in the same way as the past. Stepping away and looking to a character of us in the future, unaltered by our past, motivated change.
Be outward looking
Don't lose yourself.
