Dear younger self,
Oh, my darling, I know you worry about what lies ahead,
Always caught in the tangle of questions and uncertainties.
The future feels like an immense, dark sea, mysterious and intimidating.
I see you pacing, pondering,
Your heart heavy with the burden of decisions yet to be made, roads yet to be traveled.
You fear the unfamiliar, the twists and turns that time will inevitably bring.
However, let me share what I have learned from my vantage point years ahead.
The future isn’t a feral beast to be feared, nor a dark rain cloud to blame for your worries.
It’s created from the present moments you live, from the love you give, the dreams you pursue, the choices you make.
Each step you take now influences the future, turning the unknown into something beautiful and memorable.
Trust the journey,
Let it unfold naturally,
Let the seeds of effort and kindness you plant today bloom like red roses in a rose garden.
Let the fears that seem so overwhelming diminish over time, replaced by strengths you’ll discover within yourself.
You’ll find your way, through storms and sunshine, through the darkest nights and the brightest days.
Believe in yourself. Trust the path ahead, it is not only manageable but filled with potential and promise.
The future is kinder than you think, and you are more capable than you realize.
Embrace the present, let the future take care of itself. You will flourish. I will be with you every step of the way, holding your hand and guiding you.
With so much love and excitement!
Your older self
