A Letter To Myself in 5 Years.

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Hey! I am writing this as I’m sitting outside the Sullivan Building at UNCG. I just finished my last class for the day. I am 22 and almost two months away until graduating. I am still not sure what I am supposed to do and that’s okay! 🙂 I just want to say I hope you are doing well in life and living the way you always dreamed of. I hope you got into the graduate school in New York like you wished for. I hope you don’t treat your mind like a prison anymore and let all those unwanted thoughts just stay cluttered in there. Treat yourself with self-compassion like how you always show others. Just remember that everything is temporary in this world and appreciate the little things around you. I hope you still embrace your life with a smile no matter what you are going through. I know you are not that close to your dad, but keep working on your relationship with him. Most of all, surrender all your fears to GOD and let Him fill you with His peace. He understands and loves you more than anyone! I honestly can’t wait to see how much you grow five years from now.

I tried to make it impromptu as possible and just wrote whatever came to my mind. I got this idea to write a note to myself after watching a video on Youtube where this girl asks strangers to record a voicemail for themselves to listen to in 5 years. Her name is Thoraya Maronesy. Her content is so inspiring. You guys should check her Youtube channel out.

I began to write back in 2016, starting out with lots of poetry to wrestle with thoughts and emotions. It's amazing to see how far I have come. A little about me is that I love hiking, dancing, working out, traveling, baking and learning new things. I am always on the lookout for new recipes to experiment with. So if anyone has any, feel free to hit me up. Other than that, I'm just a girl who's trying to live this life and get everything out of it while I can :)

  1. You know you can do a very similar thing called a 5-year journal or apocalyptic journal (I think it’s called). There are 365 questions in it (with one bonus question for a leap day). You have to answer one question a day for a period of five years and see how your answer changes. It can be quite interesting. Im preparing mine right now and would post about it on my blog, soon!
