Dear Younger Me,

So you’re taking another step into your future. It’s tempting to just look behind you and all the opportunities you’ve missed. But what’s the use in doing so? Will that help you move forward? NO! So keep your eyes open and look ahead. God has a plan for you. All you need is to take a step of faith. Yes there is uncertainty and there is doubt; however, when you trust God and take that step, He will use you in ways that you can’t even comprehend.

Sincerely,
A slightly older me

Dear Younger Me,

Why must you be afraid? It’s saddening to see that the worries you have are eating you up. Be aware! Your anxious spirit is only going to harm you. God loves you and His love makes no room for fear. Cling to His love and His peace with every fiber of your being. Fearful thoughts are full of lies and deceit. Don’t give them the chance to overwhelm you. It’s harder to see God’s plan for you when they do. Your worries may seem too strong but trust me God’s love is stronger.

Sincerely,
A slightly older me

The Promise of a Wanderer

I am not one to lead,
For I don't know where to go.
And if you walk ahead of me,
I can't promise that I'll follow.

But if you walk beside me,
As a friend and a guide.
I promise to walk with you happily,
And never wander from your side.

But if you choose to walk farther ahead,
Or you choose to linger behind.
I'll stray away from the path you tread,
Wandering from promises you have resigned.

Dear Younger Me,

It’s ok to admit that you don’t know everything. It’s not your job to know everything. Your mental and emotional health is just as important as your physical wellbeing. There’s no need to apologize for everything. Sometimes stuff happens and that’s ok. You don’t have to please everyone. You will never be able to in the first place. You are young and you're learning. Bad grades happen. No one is perfect. Your IQ isn’t what defines you. Choose your friends wisely because they make up a huge part of your life. Be willing to ask questions. Learn about other people. Finally, remember God is there even when it seems like no one else is.

Sincerely,
A slightly older me

My Dark-Brown Eyes

My dark-brown eyes are a personal journal,
Whispering softly not wanting to be heard.
Until I am alone on the stage,
And a spotlight shines brightly upon them.
My dark-brown eyes become a radiant picture book,
Filled with stories of adventure and fantasy.
However, once I take my final bow,
And the curtain closes before me.
My dark-brown eyes, which are simple and plain,
Shut their colorful pages and become quiet once more.

I like him

Why do I like him?

Is it because he's attractive?
Because he's smart, funny, and talented?

Is it because he's different?
Because he's goofy, insightful, and unique?

Is it because he's nice?
Because he's kind, understanding, and sincere?

Is it because we're similar?
Because we have similar beliefs, hobbies, and interests?

Those are all likely possibilities,
But maybe its more than just that.

Or maybe its just that I like him,
And thats all the reasoning I need.

I just like him. That's why.

Leaving

I don’t want to leave,
But there is somewhere I’ve been called to.

Yet leaving is a million times harder,
Knowing that it means I’m away from you.
