If I could talk to my 7 year old self, I would say to her:

Enjoy this innocence & Blissful oblivious time!

If I could talk to my 16 year old self, I would say to her:

Focus on your goals, stick with your path and dreams, stop worrying about boys and have fun.

If I could talk to my 23 year old self, I would say to her:

Have fun, stick with school and projects, don’t give up, seize the moment and don’t throw away any opportunities that knock on your door, forget about boys!!! none of these are long term feelings, they are all sporadic emotions and transitional phases of your life…

If I could be real to my current self right this moment, I tell my self:

Stop regretting anything you wish you did or didn’t do, because you wouldn’t have ended up at this exact moment if you didn’t do everything you did or experienced exactly how you did it or said it or wish you didn’t. You are a mother, a lover, a giver, a firm believer of fighting for truth and Justice, a friend, a daughter, a sister, a dreamer, an artist, anything you want to do you will accomplish, don’t give up! You have grown, you have learned from all these experiences good and bad, you have become stronger through any painful memory, it has made you a very compassionate human being, a loving and understanding woman, a stubborn woman who sticks to her guns on her convictions but is humble enough to admit wrongs and try her best to improve where there is room to grow! And learn something new everyday. Take from the good memories and learn from the bad.

Keep on dreaming, wake up and follow your path, your goals, your aspirations, it is never ever too late!

Love always, love unconditionally, no matter what, but be selective who you are unconditional to.
