I once joined a workshop where we were asked to write a letter to our past, present and future self. I thought it was such a brilliant thing to do, so today I’d like to share with you what I’ve written.
Dear past,
The journey was not easy and you had to faced many tragedies in such a young age but you overcame it all. You’ve taught me that there’s much more to life than rainbows and sunshine’s and in every hardship, you made me stronger than ever.
Dear present,
Everything will fall into place in time. Learn from your past and move on with no regrets. Live in the present and learn to enjoy every single day. Be in control of your own life and always be grateful for all the things you have in life and appreciate the life you live along with all the people in it.
Dear future,
You’ve been through a lot in life but you survived and made it through every struggles you faced. Live with you head held up high, you are stronger than you can ever imagine and you deserve nothing but the very best.
If you were to write a letter to your past, present and future self, what would it be?

Quite marvelous, dear Daphny. It shows that you’ve wholesomely accepted every stage of your life, and ain’t that relishing! Mmm.. if I were to write a letter to my past, present and future, I would simply be in much tears as I write, and might even run short of words. The past has been hard, the present harder and the future unforeseeable, but I’m quite positive. Many thanks to you, dear. And have a great moment. 🤗💖💖

What a beautiful post, dearest Daphny. Your letters are full of hope, love, and inspiration. I think mine would include, forgiveness, presence, and creation. Reminding my past self to forgive and let live, my present self to stay present, live and love in this moment, and future, to continue to create the life dreamed of. How fun. Have a beautiful day, my dear friend. 💖💖
