Writing to younger Miriam would be such a great thing to do! I have this current birthday habit in which I write a letter to my future me, then I get to open on my next birthday.
If I could write to my past self, I would tell her how amazingly well she is doing and encourage her to not worry too much. I spent my younger years worrying about grades, university, how to get the first job, how to do well in the workplace… Sometimes I was too responsible, and I think a pinch of fun and carelessness would have been strongly advised.
It is okay to rely upon and trust others. Even if they handle things differently than you would, that doesn’t mean your way is better. – Christy S.
I have so much I’d like to say to my younger self in terms of encouragement and life hints, but then I wonder, if I’d had that information when I was younger, who would I be today? Would that knowledge or advice materially change my path, and make me into someone I wouldn’t recognize?
