I saw a video on YouTube that had this title, and I thought it would be interesting. It turned out to be a PSA about cancer...Basically saying "live your life to the fullest because one day a miserable disease will take it all away". Touching, but not exactly what I thought it was going to be. Anyways, I've been wanting to do a post about it ever since..but in a funner, light-hearted way. Here goes.
Dear Ria,
You are completely and utterly too obsessed with yourself and what other people think. Stop worrying about such petty things. If you spent a quarter of the time thinking about how you can help others instead of yourself, your level of contentment and self worth would expand exponentially. You'll see.
Follow your dreams. Things might not work out as you imagine them to, and it will surprise the heck out of you, but don't panic. Everything will be okay. Always remember that things work themselves out in the end. Don't ever give up. Throwing in the towel seems like a viable option at times, but believe me, keep on chugging and you'll see how fast the rain clears up. You'll find that your life has more meaning than you ever imagined it could.
As for your friends, value them. Hold on to the great times that you have. Don't be sad, but people will come and go. It's normal. You'll think that you have found gold at times because you have so much fun with them, but it's the people who know the very core of your soul, all the good and the bad, that will always love you. The value of these friends is priceless...You'll sort through many just to find that the ones who never leave you are the ones worth fighting for. Every personality you meet will represent a thread in the fabric of your life, but some spools will be shorter than others...and that's ok.
Don't stress about boys. (Spoiler alert) You will eventually meet the love of your life and marrying him will be the easiest decision you will ever make. Just listen to your gut. True love exists...and not in the way you think it does. Don't get too caught up in searching for this man cause he will, quite literally, pop out of nowhere!
You are so blessed and these blessings will keep coming. Don't ever forget where they're coming from. There's so much more that I could say that would help, but I wouldn't want to ruin all the surprises for you.
It's all quite simple. Enjoy being young. Be daring. Take risks. Tell your parents every day that you love them. Laugh. Smile. Take care of your body! It will definitely take care of you when you need it the most.
And most importantly, if you have any questions or doubts, pray about it. You'll almost always get an answer.
Love,
You. Me. Us.
