If I Could

If I could say something to my 13 year old self, what would it be?

Don’t let bullies get to you. One day you’ll have friends who love you.

If I could say something to my 15 year old self, what would it be?

Be yourself and don’t allow others to make you feel bad about it.

If I could say something to my 17 year old self, what would it be?

Don’t feel pressured deciding what you want to do with your life.

If I could say something to my 20 year old self, what would it be?

Take care of yourself...it feels good. 

If I could say something to my 23 year old self, what would it be?

Live up to your own standards and stop competing with others.

What would I like to say to my now 25 year old self?

Stop obsessing about meeting your soulmate. It will happen, when the time is right.

I don’t want to spend my singlehood worried.

Worried about ending up alone.

So much of my energy has been wasted.

Wasted on comparing myself to other young people who have found their soulmate and wondering when my time will come. 

While I’m single, I might as well take advantage.

Advantage of the time I have to explore what I want to do with my life, gain experience and work on myself. I want to stop wasting my time being an unhappy and self-pitying single. It’s not my time and I refuse to continue in my self-destructive single ways.
