PROMPT July 21st Write a letter to your fifteen-year-old self. Gosh this day has gotten away from me! It's nearly time for dinner and I'm just now sitting down to write. What happened? I spent some time thinking about my 15-year-old self and I've come to the conclusion that life was pretty boring. Except of course, for...well, you'll see. Dear Mary, Greetings from the future you. Forty-five years into the future to be exact. I have to tell you, that right now, life is good. Right now there's an exciting adventure planned, but I won't spoil the surprise for you. Suffice it to say you will be pleasantly surprised. It's exactly what you need at this time in life. But for now, don't worry about that. Just enjoy what you have and keep doing what you're doing. I say that lightheartedly because there is one thing I want to tell you. And if you could do this one thing you will forever save yourself heartache and shame. You know those girls you want so badly to hang with? The ones you keep calling? And nobody answers the phone? Yes, those girls. Well my love, forget about those girls. They are not important. Let me repeat that. They are NOT important. Just move on and spend time with your other friends. Those other friends? Well, they're the ones that will be with you long into the future. Yes, I know them even now, and you will too. They're the ones who care about you and truly want to be your friend. They have so much to offer and you have so much to offer them in return. So please my love, embrace those friendships. Give them everything you've got. And let it all happen organically and without interference. Honestly, you'll be much happier. Especially when you find yourself alone. I know this is tough to hear because you want to be with those girls so badly. But trust me now. They'll take you down the wrong path. And you'll regret it. Not only that, it'll make life hard for you...and for me. I worked too hard to let go and forget. It took a lot of energy. And a lot of tears. So, please, I beg you, forget those girls. In five years they won't matter anyway. So that's what I had to tell you. Please take the words to heart. And no matter what, keep doing what you're doing and know that your are smart and strong. You have the power within you to go a long way, and make fabulous things happen! With Love and Respect, Mary |
