A Personal Message to My Past Self

Dear Me,

It’s me. I’m writing to you from the future, more experienced and confident in who I am and what I want.

Looking back, I see you struggling with difficult decisions and choices. You often felt overwhelmed with the responsibilities life brought you, too unsure to make the choices you knew deep down to be true. But despite all of that, I’m here today to tell you that everything worked out.

It was never easy. I wish I could say there was an easy answer, or that one day you’d find the courage to take on your problems with confidence and success. But that isn’t what happened. It was a long journey with lots of small moments and baby steps that eventually added up. You eventually became the strong and self-assured person I know today.

Through the tough moments, it’s important to remember you never had to face your challenges alone. You had friends and family around to guide you, who pushed you to become the best version of yourself. That’s something to be proud of, to never forget.

No matter how hard the obstacles were or how dark the night got, you found the light to show you the way forward. It’s never been a one-way street. Your friends, family and peers were there every step of the way, to remind you that it was possible.

Take some time to be thankful and appreciate what you’ve done and who you are now. In hindsight, you realize that everything that felt difficult back then, actually led you to where you are today. So don’t be too hard on yourself for feeling unsure of your choices. You did it, and I’m so proud of you.

All my love,
Your Future Self
