Moments of self-refection are ideal when you commit to a journey of self-work and self-growth. Very often I write letters to myself and save the letters to read at a later date. The letters help me to visualize and add perspective to the changes I have made. Not to mention…if I am having a bad day the letters pick my spirit up. Today I wanted to write a letter to my younger self on my blog. This was challenging for me to do because the letter, was putting me in a different emotional space…but here is what I managed to piece together.

Dear Younger Peach,

Life is hard but you’re making it! Through your life journey you have accomplished many wonderful things, and have met many wonderful people. Those experiences have taught you so much and have helped you grow. Your observant, intuitive, and emotional personality has not been understood by many…but who cares! Those personality traits have helped you to pursue careers, hobbies, and educational interests that most people dream of.

Because you were misunderstood, you cared way too much about what other people thought of you. You let peoples’ projections influence the way you lived your life. You already knew back then that you were (and still are) more than enough. What you couldn’t understand at the time is that you are a light that shines brightly, and people tried to dim your light…but they successfully FAILED.

At the current moment in your life, you are coming into your own and have survived the quarter life crisis. Although you are constantly in your head dreaming and over analyzing everything to the point of…anxiety and depression plaguing your daily existence. You always manage to pick yourself back up…and you learned that from the resilient energy of your parents, grandparents, great-grand parents, and all of the people that fought for you to be here.

If I could offer a piece of advice to you, it would be to not limit yourself to your fears and listen to your intuition. Fearlessness and intuition is going to lead you to more amazing accomplishments and more wonderful people.

You’re a DOPE person and this is only the beginning.

Until next time…

-Peach
