What would you say ?

Dear Younger Self,

The things you're worried about now will not matter later. Don't be so hard on yourself and don't keep comparing your happiness to everyone else's. Also, you will realize that everyone you meet is not meant to stay in your life, so don't force it. You will begin to understand life is going to be hard but it teaches you your best lessons. Don't give up because you didn't get it right the first time. We make mistakes to learn from them. It's okay to be scared of change because if you're not afraid, then you're not growing. Embrace change and remember that you don't have to overthink every situation, God has everything all figured out. Also, as much as you're going to hate hearing what your elders have to say "Listen to them," because they are right about most things. Remember that not everyone will have the same heart as you. Forgive people more and move forward because it takes so much energy to be upset. Take this with you for the rest of your life... Love is supposed to be freely and genuinely given. If you ever have to run after someone or beg them to love, they aren't the person for you. I know all of this might sound strange, but I am glad I didn't have the chance to talk to my younger self. We go through stages of life to help us become who we are and to share our story to help someone else. If I had known these things, when I was younger and listened to the things my parents and elders told me. I would have never experienced the things I went through. The thing is if I didn't go through this stuff I would not be who I am today. I am thankful for the things that molded me. However, if I can try and prevent some of the things that happened to me for someone else, I'd be perfectly okay with that. I'm happy with how my life turned out. I don't agree with everything I've done, but I'm living life with no regrets and have a God that still loves me more than ever. Tell if you had the chance what would you tell your younger self?
