Advice I'd Give to My Younger Self.
Be unapologetic about your presence. Never enter a room with your head lowered. Hold your head up like you are proud to be who you are. Take up space. Be bold in your actions. Let your voice be heard.
You don't have to be perfect. Get over perfectionism and the fear of being embarrassed. Learn to own all your flaws and insecurities and continue to do what you love.
What other people say mean nothing. Never loose sleep over anyone’s opinion of you. They are not God and they don't define you.
Believe in yourself. You can be successful just like those people you look up to. You have what it takes. Hone your skills and be great too.
Appreciate your unique gifts and qualities. Stop comparing yourself to others and changing yourself to fit in. Always stay true to yourself.

Personal growth truly isn’t as complicated as some of you make it seem.
If I could write a letter to my 18 year old self…..
“You don’t need to purchase fancy guides or watch hours and hours of YouTube videos. You don’t need to have 13 degrees in psychology in order to understand yourself.
The main reasons why one fails at “levelling up” are quite simple.
Lack of discipline.
Lack of accountability.
Not being able to manage time.
Not being able to say no to things in order to prioritise yourself.
Doing something you know you shouldn’t be doing, and yet, you do it anyway because FOMO.
How do you prevent the above from happening?
You have to be hard on yourself and listen to your rational instinct. When your intellectual side tells you that its best not to engage in a certain thing or not to be lazy about doing something, listen to that side. People always seem to know better but choose the easier path of not doing anything.
It’s your decision whether you want to look back at life and get upset with yourself for not having the willpower to do yourself justice. Or, you look back at yourself and thank your stars that you had the sense to start early.
Even if you don’t end up getting 100% of what you visualised, at least you’ll respect yourself for sticking to your guns and doing what was best for you and your life.
It’s not about ego. It’s not about hustle culture. It’s about ending this cycle of misery and procrastination and constant justification of your mindlessly stupid actions.
It’s time for you to grow up and put in the goddamn effort, because no one else will. You can’t demand the best of the best when you have nothing to bring to the table.
Stop wasting your time with idiots who don’t share the same values as you. Start reading more again. You’re not going to marry that guy you’re with and you know damn well that you’re going to leave him anyway - so just do it already. Stop the vicious cycle of breaking up and getting back.
I’m glad you enrolled in that university, even if you were a little nervous to leave home. It’s going to change you as a person. Absorb those experiences and realise that the world is not black and white.
There’s much to learn from and you’re wasting your time watching brain-dead influencers on YouTube and instagram. Minimise your social media footprint. Go back to doing the things you loved, even if you feel that the whole world mocks you for it. They don’t. Nobody cares.”

The past versions of you made some honest mistakes because they were younger, more immature and just didn't know better. They couldn't predict the future. Please don't be so hard on your younger self, they deserved better than what happened to them and they deserve your compassion, understanding and forgiveness. Tell them they are okay now, that they are safe, that they don't need to worry so much anymore. Nurture the parts of you that you couldn't nurture before so they can let go of all the hardships they went through. The world was already tough enough when it judged you. Don't be even worse to yourself. Be fair in your criticisms instead of being punitive and unkind. You deserved better back then, you still deserve better now. Tend to your past self. Help them heal their wounds so you can live a better present.

Man my younger self was wilding with some of these Ninjago Fanfics
Having Maya cheat on Ray with Chen is not the plot twist I was expecting, let alone saying Nya was his daughter as a result making her the half sister of Skylor.
Like 14 year old me what in the world *wheezing*

A Strange Dream (True Event)
I had a dream where I met my younger self. I was yelling at my younger self and slapping my younger self.
"Why were you like this?!" "Why was I like this?!"
I also yelled other things that I don't remember. I looked at my younger self. And she was crying saying, "I don't know why am I like this." I realized what I had done. I felt bad... I hugged my younger myself, saying I was sorry.
Before I woke up... My younger self asked me, "Will we ever love ourselves?"
I still don't know the answer.
Dreams mean something important, right? What did my dream try to tell me?

Me and My younger self
Tumblr media
Too scared to act like my old self again so I made a new personality, slowly remembering less of my childhood personality and being somebody I'm not
Growing up is tough :(
I was just gonna make me and my old best friend instead... But I might do that in a different post

Y'all ever look at a photo of yourself when you were really young, and you're just like. Look at this girl. Look at this beautiful little girl. Look at how much she's done. I'm so proud of her. She's done so much. She deserves the world. Look at this beautiful, beautiful little girl. And then you start crying because look at her. I'm so proud of her.
