Future Me

Dear Future Me,
Dont worry, all things will happen if they are meant to. Stop comparing the past to the present. You left it behind for a reason, so go forward confidently in to the future you are developing right now. 
Keep smiling ... those small worries and concerns will only be forgotten in a year's time. Be grateful for each small blessing in a day. Even when it seems like things are falling apart, it takes the destruction of all the old to build the new. 
Tell the people in your life you love them. It doesn't matter how many people you have in your life - love the ones you have. Be grateful they where placed in your atmosphere and seek out the knowledge and truths you were meant to learn from them... even if it is to only learn not to be like them. 
Invest in moments and memories, not things. It's not wrong to have a nice house, nice clothes, and a nice car as long as it is the memories you make in that house and the trips taken in that car and where you went with those clothes that you hold onto. 
Above all, strive to just be yourself. Find out who you really are and be that person! Never stand on someone else's ground on who they are - build your own hill to stand on and look around at the roots you have put down to be who you are. 
Love yourself now. Not for who you should be in 10 years or 10 pounds lighter. Not for the better job or better place you'll be someday. Love you for who you are now, in each and every moment and live with no regrets. The choices are yours. 

Sincerely,
Future Me

  • No More Ed

    Ed. He was always with me. Ed was like my boyfriend. He lived in my head rent free but he constantly controlled me. He almost took over my life. He distorted my self image. Ed judged me, told me what to do all the time.

  • Heart Of Gold

    You know I have a lot of things I hate about myself, but I think the one thing I love the most is how I always seem to be there for someone. Always there even if I'm hiring and can barely stand on my own two feet.
  • Poison


    People say that poison is something you drink, it's a liquid that consumes your insides and can damage you from the inside out. But what if my poison is a person? What if my poison is someone who continues to destroy me?
