Lessons in this life:Part III

Since I already wrote a letter to my younger self (basically what I would have told myself if I could go back in time) I decided to write one to my future self, this time to remind myself of where I have been or rather where I am NOW. I’m hoping I’ll remember to read this after a few years and that the outcome is more positive than negative

Dear Future Mimi,

I am glad that you got here and are reading this. Seriously, there were times I wasn’t sure you’d get here. Not because of anything in particular because I wasn’t sure I wanted you to. Don’t judge me, I’m happy you made it.

I hope you remember all that you have learnt so far. You obviously know what to do. I hope you did it or are doing/applying whatever it is that you know that I don’t know now.

Remember the time when you were planning to do all these things, learn whatever, go wherever? I pray that you have.

And now that you have, I hope you are happy and more content. I hope that you are more appreciative because you didn’t always have what you have now, didn’t always know what you know now.

I hope you don’t forget all it took you to get here. It  wasn’t always like this. Remember all the sweat, anxiety, fear, uncertainty,blood, every kind of emotion and strength that got you here.

Rejoice in every dream you have achieved Mimi, continue to fight for those yet to be realized.

Don’t forget the time when you were almost jobless, alone single and confused. The time you didn’t know whether to move in back with the parents, cut your hair, move out of the apartment you were living in or just sit and wait everything out.

I know you are happy because you didn’t wait too long to do whatever you wanted to do or go or learn or mend fences with whoever because as you now know too well how time creeps up on you…

I’m glad we had this chat.

Yours

Mimi
