Speak to me! (a reflection)

November 15 2005


I have this picture of me in my room from when I was 14, and today for some weird reason I wondered what I would tell myself, at this age about life. So here I go:


-Be yourself. God made you unique, and don't be afraid of that.


-The satisfaction of your desires isn't a mouseclick away.


-Don't be afraid to face the past, and forgive.


-"You have made known to me the path of life, in your presence is fullness of joy, in your right hand are pleasures forever." - Psalm 16:11


-Put yourself on the line, talk to someone, break down the walls


-You're not fat


-High School is not the end of the world.


-"Don't be afraid; just believe" - Mark 5:36


What would you guys say to your 14 year old selves to help you out later in life?

Boy it would be nice to talk to that 14 year old boy and tell him what you know now. Would he listen?

Some of the things you said above (which all early teens should hear). Plus, don't be so bitter. Give everyone a chance. Appreciate both the trees and the forest. Keep writing, keep dreaming. There is always someone listening. Go make your dreams happen, because nothing worth it in life is easy.
