Dear Me: Letter to the 16 year old Me

If you had the opportunity to write to your 16-year-old self, what would you say?

Dear 16 year old Gracina,

I know what you are thinking right at this very moment.

Hmm... I don't even know what to say to you anymore

since you're thinking that you know everything already.

Yes, you are at the Senior year of your highschool life.. yet you are still so 

full of dreams and aspirations for the future yet to come.

Well hey! Don't you worry for I have seen the future! 

I am here. Smiling as I look over you.

High school life is never easy.

But holds a vital part of your life as you grow and become what you 

ought to be...

Thinking about college and the trailing battles ahead is overwhelming.

Don't think too hard!

Think happy thoughts.

Your journal says it all. ^-^

How much you like to take unto having relationships.

Don't rush.

But think about the joy of having to wait for Mr. Right.

What you think about life is not the way it will turn out.
Your heart is vulnerable and not everyone will like you.

Always remember that everyone is gonna hurt you.
You just have to know who is worth all the pain.

Follow your heart and let it guide you.
Trust in the Lord, He will provide and lift you up.

Being a good daughter comes with all sacrifices.
Be the best and never ever give up.

Be the strong person that you should be,
cause everyone is going to depend and look up to you.

Be the greatest big sister that your siblings are going to have.
Although, when you fall be sure to always Learn and Discern.

Love yourself.

As much as i love you.

P.S - just wait till you see your adorable cute lil son's dimples!

Always and forever,

28 year old (chubby face) self - Gracina
