An Open Letter To My Future Self

From my 20 Year old persona, I say hello to my tomorrow.

An Open Letter To My Future Self
You Queen

Dear Future Self,

How are you? What are you up to? Right now, I am surviving and possibly thriving with all the opportunities that life has offered me thus far. Hopefully, you are doing the same exact thing. That is one of the things that people admire about us.

We are intertwined you and me. Not because we are the same biological person, but also because our energies unite with our surroundings. Everyday, we connect to the world around us. Every step, gesture, sweat, tear, and conversation depicts who we are. Although we both have similar routines and actions, you do it much better than me. Do not worry, I will be doing as well as you soon enough!

I hope you are the happiest you can be. People adore that lovely smile of yours. If you are not happy right now, fix it! I know you can do it. You can do anything as long as you put your mind to it. Know there is a world full of opportunities, and a lot of time to make mistakes. We all make mistakes, but do not let them get you down. Let them empower you to becoming the best that you can be.

If you are not enjoying life right now, stop what you are doing and go do what you love! You aim to be the best that you can be. People told us to shoot for the stars and aim toward our highest desires. Our loved ones want what is best for us, so why not do what you want?

By now, you should have confronted a challenge or two in your life. There is nothing wrong with changing paths or even redirecting yourself toward a new way. Do not ever feel discouraged. Only you know what is best for you.

Treat yourself like the royalty we are all meant to be.

Never let anyone get you down. Our external appearances are going to label us. For that, I am sorry. I will be with you in spirit and assist you in getting you through this prejudicial time. Instead of letting the pain slow us down, allow our internal identities to be empowering. Inspire others to do the same because I can guarantee success for you and our tomorrow.

Please do not tell me that you have not changed. Everyone goes through a series of changes throughout their lifetime. Physically, your body ages and constantly adapts to the world. Mentally, our view of the world will change and that is due to the experiences. I may not know what you have experienced, but I do understand that we strive to be nothing less than the best.

In a summation, I hope all is well. Know you can rely on me for anything. Never feel discouraged. You have the world in the palm of your hands. I know I have to go, but know you can always count on me for anything. Our past mistakes help make better future decisions. Please let me know if there is anything that I can do.

Yours Truly,

My 20 Year Old Soul

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
