Dear Younger Self...

Copyright All rights reserved by tashparsons

One of my favorite groups on facebook posted a thread today where you were to write to your younger self. I didn't post my response there, I thought it would be a great thing to blog about. Hopefully it will inspire YOU to add a comment about what you would tell your younger self.



Dear Younger Self,

In 7th grade you will be at the peak of your running career. Stick with it, and you will be a runner for life. Don't turn down your recruitment to the cross country team. He's cute and 'cool', but he is not and never will be 'the one' or 'the one that got away'. Guys aren't that important. GO TO THE GYM WITH SHONDA. Don't work so hard, pick one job and really let school be your 'full time' job. Drinking isn't that cool or fun.

You will have a good career, you will have a good relationship. You life will turn out, even though your 'plan' goes off track. It's actually better this way- you learn a lot more in the process. If you never go through the toughest times, you won't ever appreciate the good.

Friends come and go. Friendships fall apart, but you will always care for them and that says more about you than you will ever know.

Love yourself. Things aren't everything. You will get everything you want in life.

Love, Me
