Write a letter or poem to your younger self about why he or she shouldn’t worry about the future 1 years ago
Dear Little Me
I know you’re thinking about who you will become & what you will do.
Little me, know that it’s all up to you.Know that sometimes things will get rough.
People might tell you that you are not tough.
Little me, know that you’re more than enough.I know that the future can make you worry.
Life passes so quickly that it can be blurry.
Little me, know that there’s no need to hurry.You have time to figure out your career,Â
so remember to always just let God steer.
Little me, with Him, there’s no need to fear.There’s no need to fear the unknown,
before you know it, you’ll be all grown.Â
Little me, you won’t have to do it alone.Life will be hard, but don’t be scared.
You’re not alone, I am always right there.
Little me, I promise I’m not going anywhere.Voting is closed

Liz, thank you for sharing this beautiful poem. We’re all in a hurry to “be someone” but the best thing to do is have faith that it’s all unfolding the way it should rather than trying to control everything. You encapsulated these thoughts so poetically, and I’m sure so many people can relate to them as we navigate life’s unknowns.. and yes, in fact, you are not going through it alone. We’re right there with you! Thank you for being a part of this community. <3 Juvi

Hi Juvi, thank you for your kind words. I definitely felt like a rush to be someone when I should’ve given myself some time & had faith. Grateful for you as well. <3
