A Letter To The 5-Year Old Me

And so we begin again...

A Letter To The 5-Year Old Me
Labuschagne

Dear Younger Version of Myself,

I know your mind is only on gushers and animal crackers yes, but bear with me for a second.

I cannot begin to comprehend how strong you have become.

You truly are walking your own path. Love truly triumphs all obstacles.

Like a lion caring for her young, you cared for yourself. You always brushed off the dust, from the field to the classroom.

I am smiling right now because every time you stumbled, you saw it as an accomplishment....Dominoes falling forward, only bringing an even greater momentum.

There will be so many unexpected challenges my friend, I just want you to remember that I will always love you. When there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel, look inward to your heart and breathe fire.

As my pen touches this paper, I wish my tears reach your tender soul. You always wanted the best for every person you ever met, and that has always been more beautiful than any sunset I have ever seen. You promised yourself no matter how hard a situation got, you would find a way...and you did.

Similar to your smile and laughter, as it found a way to help nurture even the worse of days for those who around you. It's funny actually, you are probably smiling right now....as I write.

So I will continue to smile myself.

The next time you have that warm fuzzy feeling from laughter, know that the people you have touched and will touch are sending such a strong force. This cultivation has truly shaped a better course for humanity.

I feel the love currently and want you to feel such a sensation in even the darkest moments.

It is truly electrifying, this feeling of endearment. Some consider humans conduits of God, however I believe we are conduits of the love that we will receive because we decided to smile today and help one another.

Even now as I push forward, I feel an even more powerful force from somewhere else. Could it be from the future?

The future must hold truly great things for us then. I feel as if there is a magnetic force pulling me forward every day now. Friends and family from all strands of time. The love of those I have not even met yet is more than I can ever ask for. I wish for you to open your mind and feel the same.

I always thought gravity just kept humans bounded to earth...but maybe...just maybe...there is something that the common eye will never realize.

Pulling us towards the future that we will walk with overwhelming happiness. A force stronger than the tides of the ocean. Yet it was softer before...the voice of these...angels.

Now they will not stop calling to us, "Don't give up, we are waiting for you friend The finish line is right there!" It is funny how time affected this force, before the voices were faint now they cannot stop cheering. We truly must be close to something amazing...

I guess we will have to keep pushing forward to find out.

Please keep the fire burning a little longer...

For all versions of ourselves.

With the Warmest Regards as always,

The Future You

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
