Blog-TEMBER 9th: Dear Me….
I haven’t been doing well on this challenge. I’ve already missed three days. T-T School just drains me during the week, sadly I have no energy for anything. But I’m doing my best to make time for the things I enjoy, blogging is one of these things.
Today’s topic is to write a letter to your 16 year old self, but I’m going to write this letter for the past and future me. To the me that felt/feels insecure. Whether that be physical, emotional, or mental- I’m covering all of my bases and just tackling anything and everything that ever made me or might make me doubt myself. The me now would like to tell the past me how strong I am for being able to accomplish the big scary thing I might have been going through at that time. There were several. You did it! I’d also like to say that to the future me. Actually, I’d like to say…. you WILL!
You WILL pass your classes this semester!
You WILL graduate next semester!
You WILL get a career and job!
You WILL create a life for yourself!
You will, I will!
I would also like to thank the past me. I know there were moments you didn’t think you were doing your best and you felt like giving up would be so much easier. But you didn’t give up, you just continued and you’re still doing that. But I’d like to thank the younger me for giving me a chance to trust myself. And even though negativity sometimes makes itself comfortable in your head, then/now, you do your best to block it out. This post is to remind the future you to continue making an effort. And you’re really happy. As cheesy as this entry might have been on my part, it’s nice to sit down and just think some positive thoughts.
I’m hoping this letter experiment went well for the rest of you Blog-TEMBER bloggers and can’t wait to read what you wrote. How are you doing with this blog challenge, even though I’ve missed a few days, I’m still enjoying it a lot. I’ll do my best to finish strong.
Thanks for reading and commenting

I love that you thanked your past self! If it weren’t for our past selves, we definitely wouldn’t be who we are today!

@Linda,Thanks so much!
I try not to think of the mistakes I made in the past as regrets, because without them, you’re right, I wouldn’t be who I am today. And I think we should embrace us for being…US.
