Hey You... - MOC 2018 Jan 9 - Advice To Your Future Self (Journaling Challenge)

Journaling reads:

Hey you...yes you...younger self. I’ve been asked to journal about what I’d tell you…I know you’re probably thinking “why spoil the surprise”, right? Well there are some things I want you to know, ok? Bear with me. Unfortunately I can’t really tell you much about your childhood because I really don’t remember mine. I think my first memories are somewhere in my teens. I wasn’t a real happy kid...there wasn’t a lot of affection in the house, which, unfortunately, becomes a part of your being...so try to be comfortable with giving and receiving love when you get older...it’s so important. Just because you didn’t get it doesn’t mean you can’t give and receive it. Got it? You will have many joys and sorrows as you migrate through life...maybe you’ll find a better way to deal with them than I did...but OMG you will have some great successes! You have the gift of the Midas touch! “What’s that” you ask. Google it. As an adult you’ll make a few mistakes...nothing huge, but you’ll bounce back and make better choices. You will have kissed a lot of frogs by now, but you do meet your prince when you least expect it. You’ll know when that is…I promise. (wait til you see where he takes you after you get married!) As you get older, do remember one thing throughout it all: “don’t sweat the small stuff”...trust me...that one is a keeper. Please remember to stay healthy and active! We have a lot of crazy shit in our family...maybe there will be a way to prevent most (if not all) of the things that will happen when you hit your 40’s and 50’s. If not...just remember to be brave and strong and never ever give up the fight...ever. Got it?
