If I have a number to my younger self

By walkingpotato | Corkboard | 29 Sep 2024


Would I call her? My younger-self I mean. I think I'm not that brave enough to tell her hey life's this and that. You'll be fine .

I think I don't have that courage just like Alex Warren in his Latest song "You'll be alright kid" because even now I am wondering, will I be really?

But if I could call my younger self, I would pick up the phone and say, 'I know you’re only twelve and don’t fully understand the world I’m in right now, but I want you to know that I’m enjoying life in my twenties.

"well you see kid, here it's more of 'enjoying life despite of- ' and I want you to enjoy the life you're currently in without any why's. Yes you've lost more people over time and that's okay. People come and go but real ones stay. There will be times you'll cry over broken friendships or being left behind. But trust me. You've done the same and you'll get through it

Is it really a bad thing? I don't think so, especially now that we value self-love more than ever. It may seem selfish, but trust me, it can be beneficial—though not always. There will be days when you'll find yourself staring at the ceiling, wondering where all your friends have gone. You might experience moments where, even on the same street, you don't cross paths. You'll worry about missing birthdays, parties, or reunions, but that's okay; they’ll understand. So, never blame yourself for not being always available to other.

 

People grow older; Your parents started getting white hair and developing lines on their faces. They're not as energetic as they once were and have started wearing glasses. It can be heartbreaking to see how time has taken their youth to give you the life you've always wanted. I'm not saying this to make you feel guilty; rather, I want to emphasize the importance of loving them more deeply. If you can, please spend more time with them.

 

you might be wondering what will happen next, and I'm here to tell you that it may not be as awesome as you imagined. Life is full of twists and turns, and like you, I often wonder where this road will lead. But wherever it takes us, I believe it will be a worth it.

 

You might find yourself asking why, seeking answers. At times, you'll feel confused and believe that no one understands. You will blame yourself, you will hurt, and feel an ache inside. You'll cry and eventually get used to that feeling. There will be days when you feel careless, numb, and lost, but remember you're human too and that's okay. Healing takes time.

 

You'll be alright kid

we'll be alright
