Letter To My 10-Year-Old Self
I am so proud of you. You're a beautiful soul worthy to be loved. I see how you're trying your best to live every day. You may not know a lot of things the real world has for you as of now, just enjoy your life and be happy like a butterfly.
Life is not all about sunshine and rainbows, it's also more about gloom and doom. You will be challenged daily, so you have to brace yourself in facing those challenges life will throw on you. Be the hopeful kind of person that will see life as an enduring battlefield.
Learn to enjoy the little things. Those are the most precious things you can possess in life. Appreciate them and train yourself to value every little thing someone is doing for you. Be happy with every little thing you get and always reflect on what impact they bring upon you.
The world is so cruel, prepare your heart for the worst days. Many will doubt you and will try to bring you down. They will find a way to make you miserable and prevent you from getting the happiness you always wanted. So, do not let yourself be crumpled by people who have nothing else to do with their lives and have no contribution to your life. Focus on your goal and be confident.
Allow yourself to embrace all the pain and suffering that may come your way. It's okay to weep, cry all you want. Let all the negative energy come out and release them as it should be. Do not let others define crying as a symbol of weakness. You cry not because you're weak, you cry because you've been strong for too long.
You will meet amazing people in your life! They will be the ones who will make you feel comforted and will help you see the good things in life. You will create happy and sad memories with them, treat people how they treat you. You should value those people who are there in your happy and most trying times. Enjoy every time you are with them and make them feel valued and loved.
Never give up and don't be afraid to try new things. It's always fun to discover things beyond your limits. Try to take risks and learn from them. If it's not for you or it didn't work the way you assume it would then be it. You also need to know your limits and do not force yourself to things that will just tear you over and over. At least, you took a risk of trying, you tried.
Don't be too hard on yourself. You only have you at the end of the day. Don't let your emotions make your decision. When you decide on something, go through deep thinking and know the consequences that might happen. Know your stand. Don't pressure yourself too much. You are doing good in life. Please take care of yourself.
Someday, you will get to the point of your life where you will engage in romantic relationships. Invest yourself in others on how much they invest in you. Remember that, you deserve someone who's gonna treat you like you matter every day. Not just when it's convenient for them. Please, please guard your heart.
You are braver thank you think you are. Just believe in yourself when you get older. Treasure the people who love you genuinely. Always be humble. You are doing good and you're more than enough. Live your life the way you wanted. I believe you'll reach your dreams. Be happy always, I'm rooting for you.
I love you, little rockstar.
