Letters To My Future Self #1

{ Melissa B. over on So About what I said (melissabxoxo.blogspot.com check it out!) Writes letters to her future husband which are totally adorable, and poetic, and inspiring. I was going to do that, but was inspired instead to write letters to my future self, about what I want to remember about my life that's right now. Enjoy!}



Dear Self,

There have been times where life hasn't been easy. The adjustment to college was literally painful. Staying up all night to write a paper or cram for a test. Saying goodbye to Grandpa last January. Hoping Grandma can fight off cancer just a little bit longer, because you're selfish and want her to stay forever.

There have been lonely times, sad times, mad times. So the most important advice that I can give you, future self, is to never give up on it. By "IT" I mean life, on living. Sometimes it's easy to forget that we're on this planet for just a short time, that none of us will get out alive in the end. It's easy to get caught up in school, and work, and whatever else is going on. It's easy to be drowned out, to lose yourself underneath it all. You become a cog in the machine, and I'm sure in the future it will get worse. Driving kids to soccer practice, PTA meetings, all that jazz. So don't lose yourself underneath it all. Remember who you are, and who you were.

Remember life is worth every last second.
