DEAR YOUNGER ME YOUR MISTAKES DO NOT DEFINE YOU

If I see my younger self today, I will just hug her first before I say anything..Because that small girl tried her best, even though she did not know much.

I will tell her, stop comparing yourself. When I was small, I always looked at other girls. I thought they were finer, smarter, more loved. I felt I was behind. But now I know that everybody has their own time. Your time is different. Comparing yourself will only make you sad for nothing.

I will tell her to speak up. I used to keep quiet even when things were hurting me....I was scared to say no. I was scared people would think I am rude. So I let people use me. If I meet her today, I will say, learn to say no. Say how you feel...People will still love you even when you speak your mind.

I will also tell her, your mistakes do not make you a bad person...I made some mistakes that I carried in my heart for years. I thought I was finished. But mistakes are not your name. They are just things that happened. Learn from them and leave them behind.

I will tell her about God and patience...Iwas always worried about the future. I wanted to know how everything would end....But now I know that you don't need to know everything....Just do your best today and leave tomorrow in God's hand.

I will tell her to take care of herself...Not just outside, but inside as welll!!! rest when you are tired. Eat well. Pray. Don't allow people to stress you for nothing. You cannot pour from an empty cup.

And I will tell her, don't chase love in the wrong place....Loe yourself first. When you love yourself, you will not beg people to stay. The right people will stay.

At the end, I will tell her, I am proud of you. You did not give up. Look at us now, we are still growing. We are getting better small small. You will be okay.
