What would yours say?

If you could write a letter to your younger self what would it say? If I could write a letter to me it would go something like this..LOL

Dear Tameron,

You should really learn to relax. 90% of the things you worry about will never happen,and the other 10% is out of your control and you there's nothing you can do to change that. Besides worryin' never made any problem better. Oh and you may think you hate your mom now,but you'll appreciate her when you're older. By the way don't freak out when Dr. Hoffman tells you you're pregnant. Everything is going to be fine. By the way maybe you should think twice before you sleep with that guy again though. Trust me you only FEEL like it's killing you,but your life will be so much better once he's gone. Speaking of guys,when Marcello asks you to go bowling,just run over his toes as you speed away. Now let's talk money. It's not as important as you think it is so dont go doing things you'll regret just to get it. DO NOT,I REPEAT,DO NOT break up with Jeffrey. He's the best thing for you or that will ever happen to you. Don't overrate your friendships. You can live without most of them. Call Lisa and tell her you love her. JUST DO IT. Stay away from any drink that has Tequila and dont move into that house on Lafayette!  If you get a traffic ticket,pay it the next day if you can.

that's not really an accurate outlook, People in general aren't all bad, and not everyone you will ever encounter are, If i could write a letter to my younger self it would definatly be trust your intuition don't let people make your day noone has the most control over your emotions but your self If i could write, a letter to myself lol it would be 5 pages long!!!!

daniellemom, I know not everyone is bad. I just know better than to trust EVERYONE. You make a good point about intuition.

I would tell my younger self to not have sex, and to keep my first love. I don't hate that I'm a parent, but I just hate that I'm doing it alone. Me and my first love started dating in 2004 and I was stupid and let him go after 2 years. and now I cant find a good man to save my life, and it sucks because I realize I am still in love with him =(

This is a very thought provoking post. I would tell myself to trust my instincts more and not to change a thing. Life turns out really great by the time your are 40 and your will be happier than you ever thought possible.

Dear younger self,

One day your kids will all be grown, your house will be empty, and you will be alone with the silence that is deafening. So enjoy the squeals of laughter, slow down, don't worry so much about whether the house is clean, or if those jeans make you look fat. Take time to smell the roses, laugh more, worry less, and remind yourself everyday that God is in control, even when there's chaos going on around you. After all, He's the one who allowed the chaos to test your patience ;-}

Dear younger self,

Keep doing what you are doing.  It is made me into the person I am today and I am a better person for most of our experiences.  You do need to learn how to manage money better.  BTW, don't wait so long to get together with Eric.  We are married to him now, after 11 years of friendship and a lot of brushing him off and guess what....he's a great man, husband and father.  BTW, we make great kids.

Dear Self,

Relax.  There's nothing wrong with you.  Hang in there because all things happen during their time and for their reason.  And DON'T DO DRUGS!!!!!
