Dear old me,
This is for two-days-ago me, two-weeks-ago me, two-years-ago me. This is for the me that I will never be again. You're probably sitting and reading this with leggings and comfy socks on. You're probably reading this eager to feel a bit of nostalgia from the memories I will bring up. I'm writing this because I've entered a new chapter in life, and I almost want to say sadly, but it's not sad that I'm closing the last one.
Dear old me,
Today is the day I stop, drop and roll into my new chapter in life. Today is the day that will start my new forever. I am so grateful for the recent chapters in my life and how they have ended. I have learned so many new things and met some amazing people. I'm excited to see where this new me takes me. I'm excited to deepen my relationships with my friends. I'm ready for this.
Dear old me,
Today is the day I cut toxic people out of my world. Their baggage was too heavy for me to carry including my own. It was hard. Shit, it was so hard. But I did it. I decided that my life wasn't going to turn out the way I planned if I kept those toxic beings in it, and it's OK to feel that way.
Dear old me,
Today is the day that I feel free to be who I am and not ashamed. To walk around feeling confident and beautiful. I look around at my fellow classmates, acquaintances and best friends and just feel calm for a moment. Realizing you've made such a huge breakthrough in life is a wonderful feeling.
Dear old me,
Today is my second day of ASL and I'm going to rock that shit, hard. I'm beginning my passion and can only further in my knowledge from here. I don't have to listen to what other people think I should be doing with my life.
Dear old me,
Today is the day I realized I need to focus on my happiness and that it's OK to put yourself first sometimes. It's OK to stay in my jammies and not go out somewhere because I love movie nights. It's OK to go out and do as I please with my friends because it makes me happy.
Dear old me,
Today is the day I called and texted almost everyone in my family because I wanted to tell them I loved them. Life is passing by, and I never want to miss a moment to tell someone how I feel about them. Nor should you.
Dear old me,
We've had some great times and some bad times. We've done so much together. I'm going to miss you, but only a small bit. I'm excited for the new me to start showing a little more. I'm sorry to say this, but goodbye old me. Today is the day I will start to fly.
Love,
The New Me
