To my Younger Self :)

Time and again we look back. We reflect back and see something different or maybe say see more clearly. At times, we feel guilty, most times, we feel foolish over the way we reacted to the situations and people in the past. We think had this happened today we would have responded differently but that's Life. This is how we learn and grow, through 'Experience'. Only after having enough experiences or say more than enough experiences we do actually learn how to respond to any challenge or situation that arises in our life.

Young and Old self

Now if we have to say all this to our younger selves, they would be stubborn enough to not trust us. Surely we can assume ourselves going back down to our younger selves and hype them up by telling them how we have outgrown the self-pitying and self-degrading patterns but do you think it would be to any avail? Maybe, Maybe not. Because had we been so understanding with regards to those moments and situations back then, we would have handled them better. Here I don't mean to say that we were not good enough but rather 'We were Enough'. We should see to it in this way that, had it not been how we reacted or responded the way we did in the past to certain situations and challenges, we would have not learnt anything and also the present us would not have existed the way it is now.

So let's now look into our present selves and teach them to respond to situations and people rather than reacting so that our future self will be happier and better than today. At the end of the day, it's only the Present that we have under our control, neither the past nor the future.

Let us hype up the younger self of our future self i.e. the present self and contribute to the happiness and joy of the closest human to us, OURSELF.
