Letter to my Older
Self
You
can Find me somewhere in Between Inspiring others,
Working
on Myself, Dodging Negativity,
And
Slaying My Goals.
Hi Sonam,
How are
you doing? It’s been a long time since we have talked to each other. So today I
have decided to write a letter to you. Let me tell you, you are doing an
amazing job. It’s been 33 years you are here in this world and you are doing
great indeed! I am so proud of you, I really feel as a girl child to your parent,
sister to your brother, wife to your husband, daughter-in-law to your in laws,
mother to your child, friend to your friends and colleague to your office mates
you are fabulous.
It just
feels like yesterday, when you were in grade 5th playing with dolls
and in 10th standard going out for a school picnic.
In college
you were dreaming about your future, which subject to choose for further
studies, which college to apply for?
Which
company to join?
Discussing
about your travel plans in future?
Talking
about your crushes with friends?
Going out
for your first date and after coming back and telling them the stories about your
day?
Years have
gone in minutes but memories of moments are still fresh in your eyes. Feels like
everything is passed in a blink of an eye. But, you are always so content in what
you had and feel good about yourself, and what you have achieved in the past 33
years. Your prized possessions are your family, your friends, your husband man
and your little boy. Still the bright future is waiting for you and some big surprises
are there for you in the future.
You are a
good dancer and performed officially first time on the stage at the age of 30 after taking classes from a renowned academy, so there is no age for learning…
There are so many skills which you still want to learn but first and foremost on
which you want to focus on is your writing skills. You have started writing
from last 8 months but still there is large scope of improvement. There are so
many areas of writing on which you have to work upon, for this you have to join
some online program for beginners.
Second
thing which every mother would like to work on is their cooking skills. As your
son is
Growing up
and he has developed taste for food, and he easily get bored by the monotonous
taste. So you have to learn how to cook varied and scrumptious food for him.
Goals
which you want to achieve for yourself in recent future is a good health. Good
health is the thing which always remains with you and, if you regularly work
towards achieving good health it not only improves your physical wellbeing but
as well as your mental and emotional wellbeing also. “Good Health is Wealth” this quote which you have to follow.
Next Goal
for you is to run in a Marathon. I know you have got this special corner for
athlete and sportsman, though you were not interested in sports in your
childhood days. By seeing their dedication and discipline to live healthy life,
you started admiring them. I know running gives you an adrenaline rush, so I want
you to start again with your running and exercise regime.
I know Sonam
you like and want to travel the different places. After having son, you want to
visit places with him and try the different varieties of food and cuisine
available locally. Want to explore every nook and corner of the strange city
with your family and to make memories for yourself and for your kid. This is
the time when you should start contemplating to achieve this goal. So that you
can write travelogue when you will be in your 50’s.
Few things
which I want you to stop doing is not to get hyper, you lose your calm easily.
You are a one short tempered girl, but now you are a mother also so you have to
behave accordingly. Your son will learn, what he sees. Now it’s up to you how
you want to raise your kid.
There are
the certain things, that you should start doing for yourself. Please be consistent
with your exercise and diet regime. I want you start doing something for
society, you can join some NGO and start giving them your services as per your convenience.
You can teach or can give tuitions to some under privileged kids.
Start
visiting parlor and spas regularly, its high time you should pampered yourself
and take out some me time which is good for you emotional and mental wellbeing.
I know It’s tough being in nuclear set up with an active toddler but you should
focus on yourself also.
I know you
have fear of being judged and fear of acceptance. Let it be everyone has flaws,
no one is perfect. Start living with your flaws, don’t be ashamed, don’t feel
guilty. Just accept yourself and try to love yourself as much as you can. If
you accept yourself, no one has the power to demean you.
A piece of
advice I would like to give you. Give second chance to some relationships,
which were fallen apart due to some misunderstanding and miscommunication.
Life is short so you cannot carry this grudges and burden of ill-fated
relationship every time, try to resolve it as soon as possible.
Let Bygones, be Bygones
And always
remember “Main Apni Favorite Huu”
Lots of
Loves, Kisses and Hugs
Sonam
