Dear Old You

Have you ever read what you wrote about yourself a few years ago? I found this letter my miserable 15 year old self wrote about how much I hated living where I lived at the time. And when I got the opportunity to when I was old enough to move, move to someplace I have always wanted to move to. And how much I shouldn't let others affect what I think, say or do. Almost 7 years later I'm still living in what I thought was a miserable town, I'm leaving soon for a few months abroad but I think this is my place I'm calling home. I have let people's options and view affect what I think, say and do and though it's taking some time, I'm slowly discovering who I am and life. I've let so much of my unknown past affect who I was and create me into something that I am not proud to be. It's funny how I tried giving myself advice even if it seemed like the worse advice to give. There's this quote that says "Be the person you needed when you were younger." I think it's a little too late for that.

Dear Old You
First of all your advice suck even though I'm not doing a good job following it. Though you may have had good intention of keeping me from failing and not succeeding but I have and did anyways so it was in vain. But I'm not sure that would have made me who I am today. I'm me because of failures and mistakes I've made so much in the past and will continue doing because I'm human. I miss up more than you'll ever know. Secondly thanks for trying to keep me from failing and not succeeding. As a messed up hurting person you were, I'm not that person today and I thank you for that. Third..One and Two are enough
