Hi all,
I know I have been really really really naughty... but I can promise to change anymore. I am so busy I do not have time for blogging. I only have time for my stomach and my bed. I do not even tweet as much anymore. I still have not found a routine that work for me outside of work, I do not really mind, I am no longer a socializer... not that I ever was come to think of it, I never really enjoyed going out, I always got tired and wish I never went. I guess I am just an old soul.
In this months Glamour magazine, three actresses wrote a
letter to their young selves. And although I am only 22 years old, (it was my
birthday last week 06-10-90 --- YAY!) I feel like I have learnt so much I would
want to tell my teenage self. Lets start with the first five,
1. You
are a very lucky girl, you have a great family and a couple of good friends, be
content, when you get older, you will realise that people change, let them,
people will move on, do not hang on, most good things come to an end, cherish
the good memories instead of creating unpleasant ones.
2. You
do not have to always be strong. Show people your vulnerable side they know you
are human. When you are sad, say so, when you want to cry, do cry, carrying too
much load will make you more vulnerable than you ever thought was possible.
3. All
guys too not have a hidden agenda; trust more, it will make things easier. Stop
the silly games, because in the end you will loose when it’s your fault.
4. You
know what is right do it. Understand that people choose to change you cannot
make them change. If he doesn’t act right, he isn’t right. Your gut knows more
than you give her credit for listen to her, she will not steer you wrong.
5. Life
is not an open plan, its full of surprises and no matter how much you try, you
can never get every detail correct, enjoy it as much as possible, have faith,
believe that God has a plan for you, he has brought you this far, he will see
you through. There are much more I would like to tell young Nana...
Hopefully I will. I hope you have all had a great week, and are enjoying the
month.
Happy Sunday x

I love this statement: 'Life is not an open plan, its full of surprises'
ReplyDeleteI will try to write a letter to my young self soon.
So ironic I bought that magazine yesterday, mainly because of the price, 'no shame' But I agree with your #5 the most. when I was 21 I thought I would be done with pharmacy school by 25 married by 26, and started my artistic career by 29. you couldn't tell me at 21 that at 27 I'd have just finished pharmacy school, and not in America but living in the UK, and that I'd loved every moment of it. I would have told you at the 21 year old, girl bye! lol! You are becoming more elegant and beautiful as the years go by. I'm scared to see you at 27! lol!
ReplyDeletelol Thank you.. :D
DeleteThe best thing is to be happy regardless of where you are in life..
I am learning to take each day as it comes, each year as it comes.
The most important thing is that you finished and not when you did
