To my Future and Younger Self

December 21 – Future Self. Imagine yourself five years from now. What advice would you give your current self for the year ahead? (Bonus: Write a note to yourself 10 years ago. What would you tell your younger self?) (Author: Jenny Blake)


To my 28 year old self:

     Merry Christmas! Hopefully you spent it with the fam and all the pets. Or perhaps you've spent it with your own family (if you're single, you might want to get on that; you're not getting any younger!). Here is some advice from your younger self:

1) Don't worry so much.  You have the tools you have to succeed already and things usually have a way of working themselves out.

2) Trust your intuition. Its better than you think

3) Stay focused

4) People don't really change, so don't expect them to.

5) Know your worth and never settle for less.

6) Do what makes you happy.

7) Be passionate about what you do.


Love always,

Yourself at 23.






To my 13 yr old self:

Things are good. You lived, learned, and came out relatively unscathed. Boys broke your heart, but you got over it. You're happy, graduated college a little later than expected. Mom and dad are fine and you finally got that dog you've been asking for forever. The extended family isn't what you think it is, but you know who your family is. You know who really cares about you. Always remember that things so work out and that things happens for a reason. You should be proud of yourself, the person you've become seems pretty darn cool :)

- You at 23.
