A Retrospective Letter To Myself

It is time to be selfish and worry about yourself.

A Retrospective Letter To Myself
Lifehack

Dear me,

Please stop thinking so much all the time and just relax. You over-think, over-analyze, over-react for everything. It is not totally necessary for you to do this all the time. Give me a break some times. You talk too much, in fact you talk so much that you talk to yourself.

Do not get me wrong, you're wonderful but you lose yourself every so often in the wake of things. You have a problem of either letting things get to you very deeply or you don't let them get to you at all; there is no in between.

You know right from wrong yet you always tempt me over and over. You have no control over your emotions and you are aware of it; which makes you dangerous. You are too quick to speak and not quick enough to think.

You obsess over things you know you cannot control and you decide to stress over it anyway. You need to refocus yourself my friend. Focus on what is really important in life; my salvation. The last we had an honest talk like this was 2 years ago. Look how lost you have gotten along the way.

You live inside your own head and take most moments for granted. You let so many things persuade and influence you. I do not know who you are.

Now that we got the brutally honest part out of the way, it is time to fix it, it is time for change. It is time for self healing and becoming a new. It is time to be selfish and care about your own well being first before others; because if you don't take care of yourself who will? This next upcoming year you will be about it not just say you are about it.

This next year you will NOT over think, you will NOT let your emotions rule you, you will NOT be tempted, you will NOT get lost along the way to salvation.

This next year you WILL enjoy every second of life, you Will savor every exquisite dish, you Will drop the phone and look up, you Will stop and smell the roses, you WILL be grateful for everything God has given you.

That's all the rant I have prepared for you this time. I hope to hear from you again soon and hope to hear a much better story next time. May your transition into a man be a great one.

Until next time old friend.

Sincerely,

me.

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. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. 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. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
