To my past self,
Hey, life has been a roller coaster so far and it is just going to get even crazier so you better buckle up. School is going to get much harder so good luck but trust me, when you don’t think that you will make it, you will. You will have some of your friends in your life and others will be gone, I know that this is very sad, but it is for the best. Do everything you can that makes you happy. You will learn that this was the best decision you could have made for yourself and are the fondest memories you have from your past. You don’t need to know what you want to do with your life. At the end of high school and at the beginning of college you'll get the impression that you need to know what you're doing with your life. In the future, you are going to change your mind anyway. Lastly, try not to sweat the small stuff. I need to practice what I preach here because I am and probably will always be very stressed out, but I'm slowly starting to realize that some things aren't worth getting stressed out about. Your memories and choices from this stage will mold the person that you will become.
To my current self,
Right now your freshman year of college is almost over, which is crazy to even think about! I want to remind you to stop stressing out and enjoy your time in college. I hope that you make so many fun memories that you will have for the rest of your life. You have made so many so far I can’t wait to see what the next three years will hold. It will be okay to get a C in a class because C’s get degrees! It will be alright to watch a whole Netflix series in a day, this will be a major accomplishment in your social life. Just have a positive outlook on your college life and take every opportunity that comes your way. You will overcome all the obstacles and come out stronger in the end. Enjoy this special time in your life, because it will go by super fast and it will be gone before you know it. If you take this advice for yourself, you will be a force to be reckoned with. You can accomplish anything that you set your mind to.
To my future self,
I strive that by now you have gained the courage to stick up for yourself and you have moved on from everything that has ever hurt you. I hope that you have gained the confidence to truly believe in yourself, just like how you tell everyone to believe in themselves. I expect that you don’t compare your life and yourself to others because you are amazing just the way you are and nothing can change that. I hope for nothing but joy in your life. I want you to be happy in every aspect of your life, not just in your work or social life, but also in who you are as well. Just focus on being the best possible version of you, and don’t settle for less. I wish nothing but the best in your future with a lifetime of fun times and laughter and living life with no regrets. I will be seeing you very soon.
