To My Future Self

Never give up on the greatest things in life. Believe in yourself. Achieve the hardest things in life.

To My Future Self
Writer's Image

At a young age, a lot happens to a person. When you're young, you live carelessly and you make mistakes. So sometimes before we find our true selves, we have to break down a little and sometimes get hurt. To my future self, I hope you believe, achieve, and never give up.

Life is full of surprises, you never know what is going to happen tomorrow or within the next hour. In today's generation, people are carefree or care too much. Then you have those who are afraid to believe something good can come to them. To my future self, I hope you believe that amazing things can happen. I hope to believe that you can be successful at anything if you put your mind to it. My readers, I hope you believe in yourself.


In life, challenges come upon us in the hardest or good times in our lives. It takes a brave person to try their hardest to achieve something so difficult or even easy. So to my future self, I hope I achieve anything that comes my way. I hope I take pride in my achievements. I hope that I achieve self- love in anything I do. To my readers, go achieve anything.


It is easy to give up when something is too hard. It is easy to give up on something that does not matter as much to you. But it is not easy giving up on someone you love, but you know they are not what you need in life right now. To my future self, never give up on the difficult things in life when you know they can benefit you for the good. Never give up even if it is not that important because someday it might be the most important thing in your life. But, to my future self, never lose yourself trying to fight for someone who stopped fighting for you a long time ago. That is when it is okay to give up.


To my readers, I hope that you have a bright future and a happy one. Never give up on the most important things. Believe in yourself. Achieve things that seem impossible. Go live your life and I will live mine too.

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.
