I recently downloaded an app that prompts daily journal entries and even dives deeper to give you some inspiration on what to write. It’s an interesting concept and journaling has always been a passion of mine. The prompt “Dear Past Me…” tugged at my heart strings and I wanted to share it with you all. Maybe you too can write something for the past you. The one that didn’t know where you’d be today.
Dear Past Me,
I’m sorry you had to go through this confusing life with many doubts. There were moments you thought and still think where you’re not enough. Who put that on you so young anyway?
Who are we trying to prove?
Did we always know this pressure would eventually find us?
People have and will poked holes. Your walls will sometimes crumble and you’ll rebuild again. But, there will also be people who pick you up and make you smile again. The ones who make you feel safe. I wish I could hug you and tell you it will be okay. But these experiences made us and formed us. It was hard but keep going. Keep pushing. Try to live in the moment and be happy. Make core memories and strive to create them as much as possible.
What do you want to tell your past self?
