Hey, I hope you are doing well and happy with where you are now whether it be in Florida with your family, Arizona with your friends, or somewhere by yourself. I’m already proud of you.
I know you are scared of what is to come, and it’s one of the things that is holding you back, but I can assure you that everything will be fine. You must keep moving forward, don’t let your fears hold you back. It’s really easy to fall into a routine, but it’s not what you want. Go out there and find what it is that you DO want. Don’t settle, don’t live your life by default. You CAN change the settings.
Open up yourself to the people around you. Don’t hold yourself back too much. Wear your heart on your sleeve, but be careful and take care of yourself at the same time. You CAN do both.
Challenge yourself always, don’t become stagnant. You have a lot of growing up to do, and that’s good. Bask in it. See the goodness in everything.
Please don’t hate me for the things that you haven’t done. I am trusting you to do them for me. And keep in mind what they say, when you look back in your life you will regret the things that you didn’t do more than the things you did. So go out there and make mistakes. And learn from them.
When you are feeling down and uninspired, go back and read a book by Donald Miller. You used to love him. And his books.
Have fun in school. :)
Me.
I wrote this letter to myself a year ago, I can’t say much has changed but I am definitely on my way.
I also wrote this for you.
Love you,
Unique <3
