A Letter For My Future Self

Dear Future Self,

  Please think of this as a reference, a memory when you look back in your life, a letter you will smile upon. I hope this letter will give you a boost of happiness in the hard times that you are waiting to face.

 Having major dilemmas and experiencing hard times, such as being poor and starting from the bottom of the society, everybody has to experience this at some point in their lives. Use this as a comfort when you are going through hard times, this is the life. Life is unfair, unreasonable, but it is up to you on how you twist this reality to make you content. To be honest, we are never happy with what we have, there are so much possibilities and products in the world to tempt us, no matter how caught up you are with trends, there will always be something new and intriguing out there to catch your eye.

  If you think that this is the worst position you can be in your whole life, you are wrong. Life is full of ups and downs, like a rocky mountain, you will trip and fall, some worse than others; Life is full of  love and farewells, when you say hello, there is always a goodbye. Different people will pass by you, some will stay for a bit longer than others, but eventually, as time proceeds, there will less and less by your side, and the ones who really stay, are the ones who are genuine, so treasure them.

  Another piece of advice is to don't think things so seriously, especially negative comments and hurtful words. They might be spiteful and unpleasant to hear, but don't think much about it. Never mourn over empty, bad words, but use the scars from these words to establish better and stronger relationships. Use it as a tool to make you a better person, think of it as a really nasty bubble gum, you taste it, you chew it and then hate it, you spit it out and then you know to never buy that gum again, you digest the negative words and learn from your mistakes.

 

When you are beaten down, when you are feeling down, just think that you have experienced everything there is, therefore there is nothing to beat me down. You are actually a strong individual, stay strong and fight for yourself, don't let yourself be abused by others, because there is always something in you that makes you special.

  Life is a treacherous mountain but somehow, you get over it. You still have a long way to reach to the top but I'll be waiting for you on the top

  Good Luck and see you at the top..

                                                                                                                                          The Old You
