I wish I could
meet my 10 year old self, my 13 year old self, my 16 year old self, and last
but not least my 18 year old self. I’m sure I’m not the only one with that
wish. I know that most people want to meet their former selves to right some
wrong or to try to alter the life that are now living. I don’t. I only wish to
visit the past to tell myself one thing, be strong. I've faced my fair share of
critics along the way. I can say with all honesty that after age 8 I lost my
zest. I used to be a feisty little kid who didn't take shit from anyone. But the
sad truth is that as puberty wreaked its havoc on my emotions, it also made me
incredibly sensitive.
I wish that
at the aforementioned ages I would've had the courage to stand up for myself. I
wish I would've felt about myself then, the way that I do now. I don’t know if
it would make any significant change in my current life but I do know that it
make me a lot prouder of my past. Alas, time travel is not possible yet (well,
that we know at least) so I cannot go back to give myself pep talks. The only
thing I can do now is remind myself to be courageous and to be myself now, at
22 years old and on.
I think this
is a good way to start…
