My Younger Me

 

For many older people they are now writing in their journal to their younger self while younger people are writing to their older self. What a great idea to do. The younger person can see what they perceive for the future while the older person how things will be.  So here I go for myself.

Hello my younger self. Let you know that life is going grand now. I know it was not easy for you and that life just hasn’t felt fair for some time. I want you to know that things are going to get a lot better for you in the years ahead. Not everything will be the way you would like things to be. You will be surprised that you went to college and got two associate degrees. The purpose was to get a better job and have the tools to do so. You received a degree in business management and computer science. I know it is a surprise because you think that your older brother Dick would be the only one to use a computer in the family. Actually most people use a computer now and most receive their mail on the computer as well. They do still send mail the old fashion way but this mail comes instantly. The future has on the computer called the Internet where the mail is sent to and stored. Also you can learn about anything on the Internet. You will be writing to people all over the world encouraging them to be the best that they can be. I know that you may not believe that because you wonder if anyone cares what you have to say along with the fact your English isn’t that good either. You will be a different person in the future than who you are today. I know to that there will be disappointments as well. In your later years you still won’t have a family of your own however you will have the hope that someday it will happen for you.

Further to say there will still be those that won’t care for you but those that are important will hear your every word. They will let you know that the words you speak will give them life and that will allow you to thrive. Keep doing what you have been because the time will arrive when you will reach your goals. You will realize that God has walked every step with you although you have been in dark places at times. He created you for a purpose for this time. You will have peace that few others will ever know though storms will continue to be around you. Let you know that I am proud of you because you will finish the race.

Pretty good I think writing to my young self. If you haven’t done so give it try and see where it lands. God bless you all. Amen!
