Honestly, it’s been a while i wrote a letter to myself. Hehehe, the truth is that i have never written any real letter to myself. If the stuffs i wrote in my diary many years ago could count as letters, then i can say i’ve written something that looked like letters to myself in the past, and if not, then i guess i haven’t. I just had to start that way to make you all believe this is something i do occasionally. And now that i think about it, i might have not written any real letters to myself, but virtual letters to myself, I think i have written a couple to myself on hive as a prompt topic. I remember something about a letter to my future self or thereabout, I can’t really recall much…
Writing to my younger self is quite new and different you know. I am having this deja vu vibe that I’ve done something like this before, but i can’t really recall when and how i went about it, and that’s by the way. Writing to my younger self has always been the norms, but talking to my younger self feels more real. Communication doesn’t necessarily have to be through the voice, even through writing feelings and emotions can be conveyed…
A LETTER TO MY YOUNGER SELF…
Yo man, how is it going with you? You good? how are you holding up with everything moving so fast in your head right now? how have you been chesting what life has been throwing your way lately? I know it’s hard, I know you’ve thought about it countless times, I know you’ve wished you were born better, and i also know with everything moving so fast in your head you’ve never thought of quitting nor giving up, and that’s because you’ve always been a strong believer and a fighter. I am happy you are navigating all these with the hope that one day everything will be much better…
Firstly, i will like to say a big congratulations to you, and that’s because i know it hasn’t been easy. The fact that your immediate elder brother had to give up his chance of furthering his education in a private school just so you and your elder sister could have it better in a private school is a pain that has been lingering in your heart, which is why you have been working hard daily to make both your parents and him proud…
That was a big sacrifice from him, even right now as an adult i still remember his sacrifice. I know in a couple of years you will be done with one phase of your life, and I know you quite well. Abdulqudus, you have always been a big GOAT, always naughty, but deep down you have always been thoughtful. Preparing for what’s next to come has always been your best quality. I know right now you are preparing for a future you haven’t even seen yet. I know you’ve always had that strong desire to do well in life, and guess what little ME, you will be doing well in a couple of years from now. You will still be the way you are, but with some little changes, as expected of growth…
I know you aren’t like your older brother who is loved by both strangers and family. I know you have never overthought it. That’s you, you’ve always been the IDGAF type of person, pardon my language. Just keep doing your thing, as long as it pleases God…
Listen to mum and dad, and spend more time with God. Life is not a bed filled with roses, you will see for yourself soon, but I want you to keep preparing ahead, like you’ve always done. Don’t compare your progress with that of others, don’t compare yourself with others. What works for your friends might not work for you. Don’t be distracted, and always put God first. Yield to these things and the world will someday be at your feet…
Take God serious, because He alone has the power to deliver you. Be the son of whom you are and never forget the teachings and upbringing of your father and mother, because they will definitely guide you through life, especially when it gets tough…
The Lord is your strength, keep putting him first and he will see you through. See you soon little man. With love, your older self…
