Dear Amie,
The girl with the most beautiful smile and heart of course, how are you doing today, don't tell me fine, because we've been molded to say "Fine", even when we are not truly fine, we try to hide our pains in our smile because we do not even know who's genuine anymore.
Know that I see all your silent struggles that are so hard to share with others because they might not really understand how it feels to walk in your shoe, some may judge your choices and decisions in life because they are not seeing it from the perspective which you are, however, you must learn to keep moving despite it all, make right choices anyway no matter how odd it may seem to others. You don't need to explain your motives to everyone.
I know you're trying so hard to be someone great in life and most times you encounter challenges that sap you
of your joy and energy, most times you struggle so hard and yet it looks like there's nothing to show for it, you must keep going. One thing I know is"hard work often pays, but intentionality and consistency are the keys". There are so many pressures here and there, learn to take one day at a time, and do what makes you truly happy.
I heard you're selfless, you love effortlessly and then most people take your good heart for granted and even hurt you, don't ever let the bad experience change who you are, let love lead still, do you know it's their loss? Indeed, pain often changes people, but see, take the lessons and drop the pain, let the lesson make you wiser and stronger, would you deprive yourself of the gift of loving people because some didn't see the good in you? No baby, don't do that, keep the spark, and don't give up on love.
The simple things in life make you happy, I know so because you're my best friend, why did you stop doing some of those things that give you true satisfaction? Let me remind you that we are only young once, take the chances, visit all the places you've ever wished to if it's within your capacity, you stopped writing in your diary, why did you do that? I used to enjoy how you play with words and how you penned down your thought and how you shared your memories too with lots of pictures of course, remember you will never be this young again, please take more pictures like you used to.
I see your dreams are so big baby, you've got a lot of potential in you, but most time you let procrastination steal most of your time, you sometimes don't even know where to start and so you feel overwhelmed. My love can I tell you how bad procrastinating is, it is so bad that it steals your time away until It's quite too late, I wouldn't want you to have regret like "I wish I did..... So start anyway. However you must be very cautious with whom you give your time, time is your biggest asset, and anyone who is not bringing positivity to the table should be filtered out of your life.
Life is short, stop overthinking, and always remember that you can't change whatever you can't control, so leave the past where they belong and smile now you have teeth, I know you're a happy soul but you're becoming a workaholic that you hardly have time for yourself, what happened to your me-time? I remember how you use to enjoy your own company and how you used to create happiness yourself, please do that often, it gives you some sort of inner peace despite the chaos in the world. Your mental health is important, it's okay to break down and get back up better and stronger, when you feel you can't go on anymore, take a break from everything.
Kudos to being content, I am proud of you, your simplicity wows me and I must say, "Kudos", I love how you love to learn new things every day, I am not blind to see the effort you're putting in place to improve yourself and yes, to the goals you set for yourself this year. Amie, you're doing well, from your health goals, today is day 84 of waking up to water and eating fruits, baby you never missed a day. You also reduced your soda intake and improved your sleeping pattern. Well-done
I also love how you reaffirm yourself in the mirror, and remind yourself every day " You are the best".
You've also been consistent here in the hive, I remember it was your writing goals, well-done, you've published a post every day and that's growth, I also take note of how you make a constant effort to cultivate the spirit of forgiveness every time, it's not so easy because people will intentionally do you wrong most times but look away, your forgiveness doesn't mean acceptance, it simply means you chose peace over whatever.
Never stop being you! Keep the good vibes up and keep going, make sure you call momma often and love yourself to a stupor!!!!
Baby, you're human, I am saying this to remind you of your limitations, so don't be so hard on yourself. Despite it all, this is to inform you that you're enough and you can be whatever you chose to be if you set your heart to it, never compare your timeline with someone's it will slow you down and steal your joy, move at your own pace, good results keep moving, no result keep moving, the bad result keeps moving, the goal is never to be stagnant, the pace doesn't matter, I know for sure that things will fall in pleasant places for you.
You see your big heart, safeguard it and keep sharing the love in your heart with whoever you meet, remember to leave people happier than you ever find them. I love you, girl.
Please write me soon, in your diary of course!
Love from me.
Yours Affectionately,
Amie of life!
