Dear Future Self,

How is it going? I hope your life is finally together and if not then it's OK because right now your life is a hot mess. I'm writing to you to make sure you remember who you used to be and to follow some things that you used to believe in. So here we go.

1. Family will always be there for you.

No matter what you do, where you go or how long you've been gone you can count on your family sticking to your side. Remember home is just a phone call away.

2. You learned from your past mistakes so don't regret them completely.

The truth is we all have mistakes, but if we didn't have them how would we know to not make them anymore? If they didn't happen in the past, then it would eventually happen in the future.

3. Some friends were meant to leave your life.

That friend you made in middle school that you thought was going to be your best friend forever may turn out to not be. Sometimes we learn from our friends to the greatest extent we can and then we learn to live without them.

4. It's not about the money you make, it's about being happy.

We could have all the money in the world, but what would we do with it if it didn't make us feel happy? Would you rather be alone and rich or have a normal amount of money and be happy?

5. Don't wish to relive your past, but make the most out of the future.

We all peak, for some of us it's in high school and for some of us it's later in life. Don't wish to go back to then, make those moments again with new friends and with your improved life.

6. Just because you haven't found the right person yet doesn't mean you never will.

You can date all the people you want, but when you find the right person you will know and you'll be happy you waited.

7. Cook, don't eat out every night.

Listen, I know those late night McDonalds runs are amazing, but you will save so much money and be so much healthier if you cook for yourself. This way you will know what you're eating.

8. Drop the relationship that isn't making you happy.

Another one that will make you happy will come along, I promise. But if you aren't happy with this person, then why stay with them?

9. Everything will work out fine.

How many times have you thought this was the end? A billion right and look where you are today. You are doing great and if something bad is happening, then don't worry you'll get through it again.

10. Always love yourself the way I love you.

You are such an awesome person, so of course I love you and no matter what you did I will forgive you. I mean we are the same person so how could I not?

Anyways, if you follow all of these and remember them, then your life is in pretty good shape. Until next time.

Love,

Your Past Self
