Ambitious younger self,

Ambitious younger Morgan,

I’m writing you this letter
To warn you of the future
In hopes that you do better

At age fifteen you’ve put
Your worth in all you do
Obsessing over everything you could
And would
And should

Now that you are older
You’ve learned it isn’t true
Some tension’s left your shoulders
And you sometimes do
What’s good for you

You grew up like a boomerang
Digressing in your stress
And coming back to you again
By doing less
By saying yes
To success
By your own definition
Letting go of ambition.

Morgan W

  Morgan, I used to joke all the time that ambition was a self-destructive character trait. Well, there can be some truth to that. I think it just needs to be managed. Work hard, but take one day at a time, and also just be OK with where you are in your life right now. Don’t obsess. Just enjoy the journey. You got this! Thank you for sharing, and thank you for being part of The Unsealed. <3 Lauren
