A LETTER TO MY YOUNGER SELF

Dear mini me,
I'm sure you're wondering why I have been taking too long to contact you..Honestly,there's no valid reason,I have just been  cought  up in this messy life. I'm sorry though.One thing you ought to know is that adulting is very hard and interesting at the same time.I bet you are now in your teens,getting used to your body changes and struggling with those mean bullies in school,please don't let them get into you.Oh! there's also the curfews at home ,mandatory boarding school attendance and a constant reminder that it's all for the best ,trust me it is. It's okay if you find mathematics to be tough,you won't be the only one.Try to do your assignments though.Please be careful while taking  those naked trips to the bathroom,you might get caught one day.

There's always  a time for everything,you've probably heard that saying.And the other one about good things taking time.Wait,do they mean the same thing? Anyways, you are twenty years now and you've outgrown so many people,especially your friends.You haven't had a boyfriend yet,not even your first kiss.Honey,there's nothing wrong with you .Be careful though,because the strings of boys you are about to give your heart to,aren't heaven sent.But the people you are supposed to watch keenly are your friends because some of them are very envious and will do anything to mess you up.Always remember not to break the trust your parents have on you.

You've always wanted to work as cabin crew and your dream of going to an Aviation school will come true.But it will come a time when you will be stuck whether to pursue it or to focus on your writing. Keep on writing and read alot.Embracing new things,meeting people and attending events will give you exposure.Please get to know that man pretty well before dating him,never rush anything.Don't settle with just any one,keep your high standards and feel afraid to pop up babies until it's the right time.Incase of anything,always speak up.I want to tell you a thing that no one did,something that you always debating in your mind.You are different,so it's time you stopped explaining yourself to everybody ,they will never get it.And do you know another thing that makes you unique? Your powerful intuition,pay attention and make use of it. It's a huge rewarding gift.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder(OCD) is really going to mess with your life,something you aren't ready for.Get a therapist before it's too late.Pay regular visits to your gynecologist also, it's time you started having those pap smears.Life will never be easy but you will pull through.The universe got you.
 
                       From your older self,Brenda
