We often make mistakes growing up. Mostly we learn from them, but
some we regret. If you had a time turner, what advice would you give to
your younger self? #LetterToYoungerSelf
Dear Younger Me,
I hope I find you at a good time. Preferably before you started 9th grade. The next few years are going to be the few years that shape your character.I am not going to tell you everything that is going to happen and not let you go through the experiences who make me who I am right now. But I do have to tell you few things:
1) At more than one point in the next four years, you are going to think that life cannot get any worse and that it is never going to get better. But believe me, There are worse experiences waiting for you. But, everything does get better. All it takes is just a little patience and strength of heart.
2)Hang onto your porcupine friend. He is going to stick with you. He may seem annoying and act like an ass at times, but he is going to be the one constant thing amongst all the variables.Spend as much time with him while you are with him in school,because soon you are going to part ways and you are always going to regret not spending enough time with him. The girl friends wont even remember you 2 days after summer begins.Make the time with him COUNT.
3) Your folks are always watching your back. They may seem to be against you at times,but they are not.They are some of the only people in your corner no matter what.
4)Never do things when you are angry or emotional.It never leads to good things. The decisions you take when you are emotionally compromised are always going to be messy and dangerous.
5) You are going to struggle with your studies after 10th.It is not going to be smooth sailing.You are going to mess up your priorities and get into trouble. You are going to lose yourself,your clarity,your mind. But you are going to survive this.
6)This is the one thing I am going to tell you in detail.Try and stop eating to beat the boredom because in 4 years you will be fat and will be struggling to lose weight. Its going to be a very tough time. You will hate your guts for getting fat. You will break down,cry,have emotional outbursts at random points after months of starving and over training. Just don't let your weight get more than 60kg.
7)No matter how much life starts to get in your way,don't stop blogging.Once you stop doing it you are going to have a hard time picking it back up.This blogging thing is going to be the one thing that is going to define you and your career while going forward in life.
I guess what I am trying to say that is that the one thing. This Too Shall Pass, is the quote that is going to keep you going.
Love,
Present Me.
