A quick chat with my younger self

"Hey Sherin, how you been doing? I know you're great! Its me…YOUR FUTURE SELF…Don’t worry, you've made it to the time where you are stuck at home, jobless, virus attack where it is dangerous to meet people, quarantined and a whole different world and it’s been 11 years…WELCOME!

I know you are such a free spirited lass, happy, living life to the fullest with joy, laughter with your so-called friend without worries or thoughts about your future. I wish you stayed the same but know that you have changed so much in a decade. Shoot out your questions and I’ll let out a foretaste of your future! Go on…"

Hello Dear Future Miss!

That would be a great meet...Scary but excited! Anyways, here we go:

#How did I manage to cope up with what life put me through?

You were doubtful to take the first step but you took off really well. You started it slow but you learnt many new things and met great people who showed and taught you how to be yourself first; how not to lose your self-respect at any case. Also, you learnt to think well and process things slowly and not to make decisions fast. But BUCKLE UP for lot of changes that you would never ever have imagined!

# One thing that I wanted to change?

You are so young and free. Stay as you are. When years pass by, you will become more responsible and you will have your own set of rules for your life. Explore whatever you come across (WHATEVER) and that’s going to teach you more in life. You will mold with all the change in the attitude, the way you talk, the way you react and it all comes with experience and maturity. You would laugh about the things that you think is a serious issue but trust me YOU’RE BEING SILLY RIGHT NOW!

# Am I in a better place in a decade?

Of course, as many of the world is suffering with the humanity losing many good souls, you still are breathing and there’s nothing to complain. Better place is in the way you look at life and not what people say that is. I feel this is a great position to be in!

# Did I make any mistakes in life that I regret?

Yes indeed! You have done couple of things that you regret but you wouldn’t have learnt the right things if you did not go through that. Remember, the paths are not always straight but you will figure it out & learn to grow to be a better person.

# Have I managed to earn something in life?

The way that you are in your teenage is not the way that you are 10 years later. You have grown, matured and took in lessons that life showed you. A sculptor will chip and shape the rock to attain his desired statue and SO IS YOUR LIFE. You need to be flexible enough to welcome new beginnings and capture new endings for you’ve learnt that’s how life should be lived!

# Important thing that life has taught you so far?

With all the chaos around me, I learnt more than ever that we need to value people more and be kind, compassionate with one another. We never know what the future holds but all we have is NOW. All of a sudden only the memories will stay with us. So make those a good one. Treasure the people around you as if the world is gonna end.

The purpose for this rewind is to just know what I would ask if given a chance to meet my future self. So FINALLY I would say, I don’t want to change anything about my past. I want to keep all of the ups and downs; mistakes and decisions; rise and fall; laughter and cries; For if it was made perfect, I wouldn’t have known better.
There’s time for everything is what the Bible says. So cherish all the good and the bad because EVERYTHING SHALL PASS and all that’s been given by God is only for our good!

I hope this made your day as I always say!
