Future Self

Reverb11
Prompt for December 12: Future Self: Write a letter to your future self, telling the future you about what you hope for you.


My dear Girl, 


We've had a handful of shitty years. 
Let's move on, shall we?
This year we're going to move forward. We're going to stop letting our life be about the people who have hurt us; the wounds; the brokenness.


Put on your grownup clothes, darling. It is time to own it.


Own your life. Grab it all with both hands. Take chances. Stop being afraid of getting hurt.


You'll never get what you want if you don't ask for it. Loudly. 
Let go of all of the bastards weighing you down. You deserve better.


So dance all night. Drink too much. Live with abandon. These are the best years you've got. Stop hiding your light under a bushel. 


2012 will be your chance to be exactly who you want to be. Take it.


Love you, mean it.
xoxo
