A Letter to a Younger Me

Dear Younger Me,

Hey, girl hey! It's me the older you. I have so much to tell you, but I know how our attention span works so I won't be long. You are beautiful. Your soul is beautiful. The whole big world awaits you. There will be times when it seems like fear is paralyzing you, but I encourage you to keep pushing. You know that feeling you felt every single time you stepped on the competition mat, but you conquered it? That, that is how life feels for you every single day, but you must find that same strength you found on the mat. Anxiety will be your worst nightmare, but you must stop being so tough on yourself. You are your biggest enemy. Learn to love you now so later you are not trying to juggle loving a family and finally learning to truly love yourself, it's tough. Rome wasn't built in a day, but it was built. Never forget that. Listen to your body. Feel what makes fuels you, and never be afraid to back away from what drains you. I love you, our future self appreciates you, and most of all WE WILL WIN.
