LETTER TO 20 YEAR OLD ME
Wrote this letter when I turned 30, your aunt got it on my old notebook and published it on her facebook notes. Today I saw a friend of hers has sampled the letter and written it for himself. I am so humbled thought I should share the original........
Dear You
Let me start of by saying you are a very beautiful young girl and I love your free spirit. You are not always going to feel like you are beautiful and not everyone will think you are but that does not change the fact that you are a beauty.
You have your whole life ahead of you (yes ur parents are right about this one) no need to rush into anything, relax you will be boss of you very soon.
Take your relationship with God as first priority, live for him; he will make you a success. Take the word of God personal, peruse his ways the spiritual controls the natural. Let him be more real to you than anyone you know, by this you will be ahead of your peers, you will operate from a point of rest. Pray, your life depends on it, gain as much knowledge as possible on the word. You can never operate above your knowledge.
Work on being cause if you are you will have.
Not everyone you meet has the best interest at heart for you just be careful, hold your head high and don’t let anyone make you bitter. Learn to forgive and let go and girl choose your battles. Friends come and go yeah sure some stick longer than others but people change and this has nothing to do with you just be ready to let go without malice when such time comes.
It’s better to be friendly than proud no one will think of you less or take advantage -smile even with strangers its ok. Try not to class people, you will be surprised how the people you think the least of will be the most helpful when you need it. Be less judgmental everybody has their own journey some are slower than others. Try to help where you can without expecting anything in return.
Improve your family life your parents aren't always going to be the strong ones,they will need your support. Form strong ties with your sisters and brothers it can only make things better for everyone, never compete amongst yourselves rather jack each other up. Cherish family they are after all God’s choice for you. Do right by them it can only mean blessings for you. Appreciate your upbringing don’t envy others-trust me you where being made.
Men and falling in love, you are going to meet so many interesting people of the opposite sex, don’t let it go to your head. It’s ok to explore but be careful who you fall in love with, stick by your principles regardless the man, situation or time. Don’t ever compromise yourself if it does not feel right its probably not right. Don’t entertain married men, period. Run as fast as your feet can take you from smooth operators, they are serious time wasters if a man is into you he will hold it down always. Don’t make excuses for a man its either he’s into you or not- simple! yes it’s that simple. Be straightforward to avoid heartbreaks and always be kind to everyone who think/says they love you even if the feelings are not mutual-the least you can do is be kind. Don’t date a broke man and its ok to have this as a rule.
Laugh more; don’t be scared to love- when you do, give it your all- it pays to love with all your heart. Travel, run in the rain and REFUSE to be boring. Live by faith it’s the only way to please God and yes you deserve the best life has to offer including the cutest , richest and kindest man to love you.
Don’t sell yourself short.
Let’s talk again soon
