Letters To My Future Self #5

Dear Self,

Enjoy that job that you undoubtedly hate.

{Via Weheartit}

Back here in 2010 I am struggling with school, hoping that it'll some day be worth it. So that job that you are complaining about, that you don't want to get up and go to... remember you worked hard for it! That you went through years and years of difficult homework, professors, working part time on the side, and trying to smile even though you didn't feel like it. Be happy to have that job and to not be where I am right now.

Love Always,
Me.

Letters To My Future Self #4

Dear Self,

Don't forget to laugh.

Life is not always pretty and perfect. It doesn't always fit into perfect boxes, and things hardly ever go exactly right, and that's okay. Things don't have to be perfect.

So laugh it up. Enjoy the crazy moments while their here, and see the funny side of things when ever you can.

Love Always,
Me.

Letters To My Future Self #3

Dear Self,

Remember that there are always hard times but maybe the hard times and crappy feelings make living worth it.


{via WeHeartIt}

The truth is, right now, I hate college, and I'm having a really hard time with it. I could quit but there's always going to be hard times, even for you future self. Just because college is over doesn't mean everything is going to end up happy and good all of the time. So through all of the crap and hopeless feelings remember to keep treading water to keep your head above the surface. Push through one more hour, one more day, one more week until the good times come.

Letters To My Future Self #2

Never forget your family.

They may be really annoying, in fact they may drive you insane most of the time, but never forget they're the ones who put up with your whining. They help you when you're hurt, they find you when you're lost, they're there for you when you wake up with bad breath and hair the size of the state of Texas. They love you, don't forget to love them back.

{ 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.
