Prime and foremost, I wanted to say I missed you, a lot. Your genuine and heart-warming smile that lightens up the day of the people you talked to. Your bright eyes that are full of hopes and dreams not just for yourself but as well us to your family. The loud and energetic cheering voice that even if how many times your mom told you to lower it down, you still didn’t do it because you are always overwhelmed by the things around you. Your compassionate young heart that would always ache, whenever you see people who are in deep needs and silently wish that you are rich so that you can help them. I just want you to be aware that I am so proud of you, young girl. Please enjoy the things you currently have right now and treasure the people around you. You are more than blessed and don’t you ever complain everytime your mom feeds you vegetables. Those healthy foods that you are rejecting today is what your body really needs, especially when you grow up. Aside from that, a lot of kids are starving around the world, so don’t your ever dare be a peaky eater. For pete’s sake young tree, please never skip your afternoon naps. You will regret it in the future I am telling you.
Moreover, please spend more time with your grandfather. Talk to him and make him feel that he is loved. Show him your sweetest smile every morning and give him 5 pesos when he asks. Treasure your time with him and appreciate him.
Don’t forget to have fun in your study but try your best to be on top. I am telling this because you will need it few years from now. High grades are very much important especially if you are planning to apply for scholarships. Anyways, don’t you ever try to enter in a relationship if you are not 18 yet, regardless of who and what he is. You are gonna regret it afterwards.
You are lucky with your set of friends. They are good influence to you. Cherished and value each of them. They can be trusted and your friendship will last.
Don’t be so conscious with what the other people is telling you about your physical aspect. Your body is perfectly fine and you have a very beautiful face. There’s no need for you to walk with your head facing the ground. Chin up and face everyone with great confidence. Don’t be insecure and get affected by what they say. Never change yourself just for the other people. Embrace your imperfections because that’s what makes you perfect. You don’t have to worry because someone will come in your life that would accept all your flaws and see you as his treasured possession.
You may feel like you are stuck and stagnant now, but your time will come. You will bloom like a flower in the wild and shine like the brightest star in the middle of the darkness. Trust your Creator and His heart. Don’t lose the passion in your heart and don’t stop learning. Always mark in your heart that knowledge is power.
For now, just enjoy the flow and don’t be in a hurry. Everything takes time darling.
Love,
Your future self
Your time will surely come, you just have to wait for it. Also the one who stops learning has planned to fail
