If you could send yourself an email 10 years in the past, what would you say? - Page 2

Dear Mr. Son of a B****,

Pls choose one area of confidence and don't get distracted.

Sincerely...FU, just do it.

Anja · 10-24-2008, 05:59 PM

Trust your intuition. Treat yourself well. Don't allow others to influence the way you feel about yourself. Don't allow others to influence the way you feel. Period!

Have courage and heart. Keep the faith.

Work on acceptance, for with it will come peace of mind.

Do the right thing and the next right thing will follow.

Love with all your heart.

Pay attention!

You're on the right track so don't get discouraged; find some good people and hold hands.

And, for heaven's sake, Girl. Stop thinking you have to do this living stuff all by yourself. Accept a little help now and then. And learn to ask for it!

I love you,

Self

Dear Self,

Where were you when I needed to hear that?

Irritated,

Anja

Dear Blue

Drink more, think less.

Luv, a wiser you.

Anja · 10-24-2008, 06:03 PM

In retrospect I think that letter should have been sent twenty years ago.

Dear Jennie,

Enjoy being a kid, otherwise you'll spend your entire adult life trying to recreate a childhood you wish you had. Specifically...
1. Laugh at yourself more
2. Play games
3. stop worrying so much
Forgive those who have done harm to you and try your hardest to move on.
Reach out to people and talk about your feelings and needs more. You'll feel less alone if you do.
Surround yourself with genuine people who enjoy you.
Talk with your father more. It only SEEMS like he doesn't care. Be the first one to make a move.
