Long story short, I got a little homework to write a letter to my past self. So, here we go. I made two pieces of letters, respectively, to myself in 2014 and 2020. In case anyone is asking this and that, well, no comment.
At first, I didn’t make these letters intentionally for public consumption — though it’s just a little peek. Hihi.
So why do I put these here?
I just want to share how I felt when I wrote a letter to my past self.
To be honest, I felt relieved, at peace, and, slowly but surely, I could accept and understand everything that happened to me. I felt like I was really talking and making a good deal with her, myself, at that time. Well, I should do this if I want to change my mindset. For a better life. In the future.
To everyone who still has a hard time dealing with your past self, maybe you could try to make one as I did! Express everything that you want to say to your past self. Talk kindly and genuinely, and please don’t be harsh to yourself. I mean, both of yourself in the present and past time is precious. You don’t have to make your past self suffer, at least once again, only to understand you in this present time. Take your time to make a good deal with your past self. Do it in a good and relax condition.
Even if you are cool with your past self, which is good for you anyway, you could just praise yourself once again. You could appreciate yourself for being stronger day by day.
Forgive yourself.
Accept yourself.
Love yourself.
Trust yourself.
Good luck.
