Dear My Past Self!

Dear My Past Self,

I forgive you. You were young and you didn’t know any better. But you were never wrong. I’m sorry I was too harsh on you, I’m sorry that I did not believe in you, I’m sorry I always doubted you, and I’m sorry for saying you can’t do any better. You were doing your very best and I know you did lose but it is OK, I can guarantee you, we will be doing okay in the future, don’t worry. Now you’ve grown, you know better, and you’ll do better so rest assured my dear, I forgive you.

— Your Future Self

There is a reason why I keep it all inside because I have “Only Me” to listen to my words.

I never thought how much I owe to my future self. Our past is indeed the reason for where we are now. To succeed in the future we have to go through failure not because we are not capable of succeeding at first but because failure is the key to making us the strongest person in the room. You deserve everything and the past plays an important role in that. For wanting to watch the breathtaking sunrise we need to hike miles through rocky mountain roads but in the end, it is all worth it. But it is you who decides that you want to watch that sunrise so you climb that rocky mountain because you know in the end it will be all worth it. Same with life to achieve success you need to go through rocky phases in the past to be able to get a deserved future. I know the mistakes, disappointments, failures, all negative feelings are not easy to deal with but aren’t those feelings that make you the strongest, that make you the toughest, and that make you fight for your dreams. Don’t try to compare yourself with your old self that was your version where you were learning a lot and mistakes were meant to happen. And your new version will be the version of new growth, new learning, and new mistakes and that is okay. What is important is the “actual you,” don’t lose it because life is diverse, it will change and you will also see a lot of your versions but be true to yourself. Learn to live a life that makes you feel happy like a leaf on a windy day that is flowing but still rooted to its stem.

To heal a wound, you need to stop touching it.

Till we meet again, Be Happy, Be Grateful, and Keep Smiling – a girl who likes to write.
