A letter to your past.

Inspired by fellow mylotter LookItsACupcake discussion, I wondered what everyone would write if you wrote a letter to yourself in the past, not the future. What lessons and warnings would you give to yourself from your past... or would you not, so that you can be the same person you are today?

I am ok with who I am but I would send some warnings for sure..lol..It reminds me of the warnings that I give my own girls...they are, afterall, based on my life experiences. I would tell me to slow down and enjoy being a kid. I would tell me that I needed to be more careful about the ones that I trusted. I would also tell myself to double up on the hugs and kisses that I give my grandparents. I would tell myself not to sweat the small stuff and to change what I could but not to be so disappointed when I couldn't. I would also tell myself to pay more attention in class..lol.

Speak up when something bothers you. Do it right away. Don't assume that the problem will just solve itself.

That's good! That's something I need to tell myself too, even now.

Good discussion, really got me thinking. I don't know that I would advise myself to change in anyway. I am happy with me today. If I changed just one little thing I might mess up the whole deal.

If i would have to write a letter for myself in the past, i would write do not blame yourself for whatever decision you have made before.you decided on that because you know you will be happy in the future.so if you are wrong or you regrets on that decision,you have to suffer.all you have to do is to do something for you to overcome the wrong decision that you've made before so that in the near future everything will be alright and when somebody ask you to write a letter for yourself in the future, it would already be positive.

I would told myself not waste too much time watching TV, study harder, and have less candies to keep my teeth healthy.

I would rather write the things I must get rid of and warn myself to be extra careful on my decisions.

I would really like if the past me could hear my warnings from today. I'd tell her that there actually are not too much people around me that were true to me. And that I should've known, distinguished and kept those who were. I would tell her to have enjoyed life more and stop fretting about the little things, or wishing for the things that I could live without. I would tell her to pursue learning the drums, because now I want to join bands. :) That's probably all.

Those sound like good 'warnings'. I would tell myself to enjoy my life more too. Do you think the past you would've listened?
