Dear Past Self,
Hey there, I know that you've been hurt and that maybe things don't seem all that great right now. I’m sure you are worried about all the things yet to come. You are also worried about lots of things that you have no control over, but let me just tell you that you will come out of all this stronger than ever before and that the sooner that you stop pulling on your end of the rope in this game of tug-of-war and leave it all to God you will be a much happier person. Your heart will pick its self-back up off the ground and you'll start figuring out just who you are. Remember that everything happens for a reason and that one day you'll figure it all out.
Dear Current Self,
That day is not today. You don't have things figured out but what you do know is that it all finds a way to work out in the end and to just take it one step at a time. You still have your moments where it feels like the world is crashing down around you but you have learned to accept that those are moments of change and that whatever it is, is shaping you into the person you need to be. You have guards and walls up but they are just there to protect you from the hurt that past friends and loved ones caused. You are careful as to who you let into your life not wanting to open up to someone just to watch them leave.
However, you are much stronger than you once were and know that just because you trip and stumble doesn't mean you have to fall flat on your face. You know that each person that crosses your path is meant to serve a purpose and that not all of them will stick around for long. You have a better understanding of who you are and what you want in life but there are still times when you feel like you are wandering around aimlessly in life. You face each day head on and take joys in the little things in life. You've come a long way, but there's still quite a ways to go. So keep your head up and your eyes on the horizon of things still to come.
Dear Future Self,
I don't know where this letter will find you in life but where ever it is I hope you are happy. I'm sure life has taken you through many twists and turns but I hope that you enjoyed the scenery along the way. Maybe you've traveled the world ten times over or maybe the farthest you've been is across town since I wrote this but I hope that life has brought you many adventures and many memories to look back on. I hope that you have grown into the wonderful, kind-hearted, God-loving person that you aspire to be and I hope that you look back and are proud of the person you were and the person you've become. I hope that you have surrounded yourself with lots of love and that your face is full of laughter lines. I don’t know what the future has yet to bring to me but I hope that you find that it has all been worth it.
