The Letter.

A letter to my younger self.

Dear Thomas,

One thinks highly of one's self at the younger ages, so much endless possibilities, minutes last hours, days last a hundred years. You my dear boy are no different, you are the center of you earth and commander of your own destiny. Thats the way a young child should be, the world is you oyster and everyones doorstep is your own to thread on.

I merely have one thing to say to you, I am sorry. Sorry for expecting so much of, for driving you to do the things that many of the times you didn't want to. Sorry for always expecting you to excel at everything, for expecting you to be top of your game, a straight A student and for always leaving having you build a guard against even the friendliest of people. 

Mostly, my sweet innocent child, sorry for not giving you the courage to stand up to those that did you wrong. I'm sorry for never alloying you to be brave and tell others you weakness, maybe you would have been helped and not turned into that angry and overly confident teenager.

Lastly always remember to be good to yourself, be vigilant when trusting others and lean on your friends a little more, remember you cant always be their rock,

Goodbye for now my dear boy, I'll see you in a few years.

Just something to remember the past and protect the future.

Wow, very, and deeply introspective. I did one for myself too a time ago. It's very thoughtful and paining to write things like these. To put your full feelings and thoughts into each sentence. To look at your mistakes and actually admit it. Very nice job, you've really spoken to yourself and everyone. Great job. :)

Thank you for sharing your letter. I like your approach. Your work shows life experience which comes with maturity. Anyone who has lived a little can relate to this. I certainly did. I really got a sense of wanting to give to a younger generation. Thanks again for sharing this.

It make me wanna to cry, I wrote one for my future, and it made myself cry as well. There's so much regrets in our life when we look back, we always regret for it and wish we haven't done it...
Nice Written!
