A Letter to a Younger Self


As I sit here, my heart is overflowing with love and gratitude, I want to reach out to you and envelop you in the warmth of these words. You may not realize it yet, but you are about to embark on a remarkable journey filled with countless moments of joy, love, and growth. I want you to know that you are happy and blessed beyond measure.

In the years to come, you will experience a myriad of emotions, both highs and lows. There will be moments of uncertainty and heartache, but amidst it all, you will find an unwavering resilience within yourself. You will learn to rise above challenges, to embrace life's curveballs with grace, and to emerge stronger than you ever thought possible.

I want to tell you that you are loved deeply. The love that surrounds you is like a gentle embrace that holds you tightly during life's storms. It's the love of your family, the ones who have been there for you from the very beginning. Their unwavering support and belief in you will be the foundation upon which you build your dreams. Cherish these bonds, for they will be your anchor in moments of doubt and your greatest source of joy.

But it doesn't stop there. As you journey through life, you will cross paths with extraordinary souls who will leave an indelible mark on your heart. Friendships will blossom, each one a precious gem that adds color and depth to the tapestry of your existence. These friends will become your confidants, your pillars of strength, and your partners in adventure. They will laugh with you, cry with you, and stand by your side through thick and thin. (Let me give you a hint, those high school friends you have now? Yep they’re for lifetime, you outgrew each season of life and still there clinging to each other, plus you’d be meeting 3 people in college that you didn’t know you’d be close with, lemme give you their initials coz I don’t wanna spoil you that much, they are R,C, and J. It’s for you to figure them out.) Treasure these connections, for they are a gift that will bring you immeasurable happiness.

There will be moments that make your heart ache—losses, goodbyes, and the passing of time. But know this: the love you have shared with those who have departed will forever reside within you. They will be your guiding lights, your guardian angels, watching over you with love and pride. Carry their memories close to your heart and let them inspire you to live each day to the fullest.

In the depths of your being, you will discover a strength and resilience that will astound you. Life will throw unexpected challenges your way, but you will find the courage to face them head-on. In those moments, remember that you are capable, you are brave, and you have the power to overcome anything that comes your way. Believe in yourself, for within you lies a wellspring of untapped potential.

Don't be too hard on yourself. Instead, use these experiences to build resilience, learn important life lessons, and adjust your course accordingly. Remember that life is not a race. It's easy to get caught up in the societal pressures to achieve certain milestones by specific ages, but I want you to know that there is no universal timeline for success or happiness. Your journey is unique, and it will unfold at its own pace. Enjoy the process, savor each moment, and don't compare yourself to others. Your worth and value are not defined by external achievements, but by the love and kindness you share with others and the growth you experience within yourself.

Above all, know that happiness resides within you. It's in the simple pleasures—a warm embrace, a heartfelt conversation, a beautiful sunset. It's in the moments of laughter, love, and connection that bring tears of joy to your eyes. Embrace those moments fully, for they are the essence of a life well-lived.

As I conclude this, my heart swells with a mixture of nostalgia and gratitude. I am grateful for the journey you have walked, for the lessons learned, and the person you have become. You are happy and blessed, my dear, and as you continue to grow and evolve, may your heart always be filled with love, and your spirit always radiate with joy. Always remember: take your time.
