Letter to Our Younger Self

“Hi, how’s life?”

“Tough, isn’t it?”

Indeed, life is tough, dear. But along the way you will start to be grateful and accept it as they are.

Here’s I have a lot to tell you:

1. Don’t measure your self-worth by material things like money, car, branded clothes, bag, etc. Trust me, you are way more than that. You are young, precious, and still have a lot of things to discover.

2. Try many things!

I know it is scary at first and you’ll wonder whether you can do it or not. Yes, but better try it instead of regretting it right?

3. Love yourself more than anyone that loved you

Because at the end of the day, all that you have is you. No one will come to you when you cry at 2 AM. No one will be there for you when you need a pain killer to stop your fucking headache at 4 AM. No one will lend their ears for 24 hours instead of you. So, love yourself more.

4. Stand up for your own sake

This world is full of nice people. Yes, nice people…basically.

On the other hand, you’ll meet a few people who don’t like you, who challenge you; challenge your patience, your emotions until all you can do is crying like an idiot. LOL. But it’s true.

Here I’d like to say, it’s not your fault they behave like that to you. People’s characters tell a lot about them rather than you. Just try to see it from a different perspective.

They hurt you, maybe because they have been hurt by other people or maybe because they have some conflicts at home. We never know, right? So forgive them. Forgive them for your own sake.

5. Laugh a lot!

There’s nothing more refreshing than laughing at our own self.

It is okay if we do some stupid things

It is okay if we have lots of imperfections

It is okay…

Life is too short not to be happy
