Letter To My Younger Self : You

Dear younger me,

I hope you are doing well. Selflessness has always been a part of who you are, but it often led you into trouble without you even realising why. Instead of choosing yourself, you gave priority to others, even when it was not necessary.

You know, you have been one of the best students of moral science. I say this because of how sincerely you learned and practiced every virtue taught in class. But while following those lessons, you forgot to choose yourself. There was never a direct lesson that told you to do so. The irony is that every value you learned started with you. Kindness begins with you. So does respect, care, and empathy. But somehow, we learn what we want to learn and miss the deeper meaning behind it. That is where we often go wrong, and the same happened with you.

Instead of choosing yourself, you allowed others to take more than what was yours. I may sound repetitive, but I want you to remember this: you cannot give when you are empty-handed. If you do not allow yourself to grow, how will you ever have enough to offer others?

Dear little one, you do not have to overthink this. Just remember one simple thing. You have your own back. There will be only a few people who will truly listen to you when you need them. So learn to become self-sufficient. Remind yourself that there is one person who will never judge you, and that is you.

Thank you for being the kind soul that you have always been. It is because of your goodness that I am able to walk the path you created, now with more awareness and balance, taking care of what you once overlooked.

Yours truly,
The one who now chooses herself
