A Letter To My Future Self

Hi, I hope you're doing great.

A Letter To My Future Self

I am writing this letter to remind you of the little, yet important things you love to do. Waking up first thing in the morning and letting the pups out, drinking iced coffee and laughing with your best friends, and going out on little walks around the block. Are you still doing these things? Are you taking care of yourself? Most importantly, are you happy? I know, that's a tough question but are you?

Happiness to me now is the feeling you get when you are standing on the top of a rock looking at the beautiful world God gave us. How do you feel about that and what is your definition now?

I hope that you find time to appreciate those little things, I hope that you are pushing yourself to get where you want to be, and I hope that you never stop. Have you? Please, never stop pursuing happiness. Push yourself to be the best you can be and then more.

What lessons have you learned? I wouldn't be surprised if the many years of schooling didn't prepare you for what life is actually like. This year alone I've learned to expect the unexpected (thanks covid). By the way, is the pandemic over? Who's President? Here's a good one, are you President? I know it'd have to be 20 years in the future for that to happen, but are you on the right track?

For real, how hard are you working and pushing? I hope that you never lost that determination and drive.

Final question, do you love yourself and are you as confident as you manifested to be? It gets easier right?

I'll leave you with this piece of advice, never stop learning, never stop caring, never stop working, never stop loving, and lastly, never stop being you.

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.
