RE: If Only! A Letter to My 21 Year Old Self

in #life7 years ago

Before moving to how nice the letter is, let me talk about your first photo. When I looked at it, I thought you were like 35 or maximum 40 years old and then when I saw that you were 21 in 1988, I was like no way can she be 50. I was born on 13th August 1988 and am 29 now but I look so much older. You amaze me. Now on to your letter. It was just so so nice. A lot of it is similar to what I'd write to my 21 year old self and yes I would definitely tell myself to be her ally first and pay attention to what she really needs and not what she thinks she does.

You always leave such kind messages, thank you :-)! I must admit that some days I feel and look 65. We all seem to need encouragement to listening to and taking good care of ourselves since there are so many pressures to meet the expectations of society, family, jobs and friends. I still find I need to remind myself regularly!

I feel I am 50 at times because of how maturely I act at times lol and look 35 because of ym extra weight lol. Yes, we do need encouragement from time to time to take better care of ourselves and I'll definitely be giving you more of that so you always look gorgeous like you do now.

With all of your wisdom, I can believe you have a sagely essence about you and this is a good thing! xoxo

Aww wow this is the best compliment I have received in a long, long time. Feeling like Buddha now haha but seriously, you cheered me up :D xox
