Dear Older Me

[Creel_Lenslook]

Dear older me,

Hi, I don't know if your reading this (Hopefully you are) but I just wanted to say I hope your still doing art and singing and cisco. Keep following your dream. I know you think your less than you are but you are fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God. You are good at art no matter how bad you think you are, and you need to keep singing because if you stop I'm scared you will lose a part of your self. Always sing, always march to the bear of your own drum, no matter how crazy people think you are, and always trust in the Lord God because He loves you more than anyone ever could and He will never stop loving you. So never stray from Him. Hopefully your life is going the way God wants it to and say hi to the fam. I just want you to know that I can't wait to be you and see what happens.

Love,
your younger self

Dear Older Me,

Hans may or may not ridicule me for this post, but either way, a reminder is always good...
Don’t lose interest in anything important. Draw, write, blog, skate, and write some more, even when your time seems packed.
Listen to all wise advise given to you by your trusted ones.
Make sure your kids play the Aetherlight.
Thanks for holding your attention span.
Hopefully next time you read this, you’ll be a logical human being and won’t need to read this.

Dear older self,

Have you taken steps to move out of the house yet? Remember how you promised yourself you would not be one of those losers living at your parents house with no job and no dreams?

Don't be one of those losers.

Get a job for goodness' sake.

Dear Older Me,

Remember where you came from and remember where you are going. If you're still having trouble with that one thing (I have a feeling you are), don't keep beating yourself up about it. Trust God. Have hope. Don't give up. It'll get better, and if it doesn't, there's a reason. I'm sure you'll figure it out, even though I didn't.

Sincerely,
Your Younger Self

Dear Older Me,
Remember to not flip out when you get writers block. Make sure you stay calm when you get in * those * kind of situations. Most importantly, remember to stay close with God

Sincerely,
Your Younger Self

Dear older me,
You need to calm down. I know you are super stressed but deep breaths. Don't worry first you don't have to fix everyone else's problems and next you are loved. There is a place for you in the world don't be depressed. God will always love you even if it feels like no one loves you God does. And stay calm we know you are a actor but really calm down a little. Also never forget to do whats right and never forget that even though you feel useless or unloved or unneeded you aren't any of those.

Yours Truly
Your Youngerself

Dear older self, even if it be by a single day,

Just because other people don't seem to appreciate your art as much as you think they should doesn't mean you should stop. This is for your enjoyment as well as theirs. I'm sure they like it, even if they don't say anything.

Please don't quit.

Dear future and hopefully better self,

STAHP. PROCRASTINATING.
Save yourself the stress that you wouldn't have needed to experience if you had done it now.

Also, do write something with your characters, they tend to get rather mischievous when you don't.

From your past self who procrastinated too much.

Dear older me,
Don't be as much as an idiot as you are now

Dear older me,

You have been through a lot this year. Just remember to share God's love to others. right now your overfilled with His for you and others. Just remember not to be creepy to people you are trying to help online and don't be such a fool when you are talking to that one pastor and his family.

Younger and probably wiser you.

[Zoe_Darknight]

Dear Older Me,

I don't know if you've recovered from surgery yet. And I know darn well I haven't recovered from fourth grade, despite the years. And I know stuff's hard. But don't give up yet! There's so much to live for. There's Aesthesia, where you can forget your problems and go blow up a Buckethead (Automaton) or follow a really good roleplay because there are some insanely talented people here. I hope you still play the Aetherlight and stay on the forums. Because no matter how terrible the world seems, there's always hope. Don't live for yourself, live for God.

And remember, whatever you're going through now can't be worse than a global pandemic.

Dear Older Me,

Your boots are scuffed and worn, covered with the mud of the journey. A winding road stretches out behind you, full of ruts and bumps and places where you thought you would sink in a black mire, but you're still standing, and the further you walk, the closer you are to that shining gate. There is One walking beside you, ready to help you when you stumble and remind you of the truth when poisonous lies whisper in your ears.

You may not be having trouble with "that one thing" still, but I know for a fact that you have "another thing" which you are prone to worry and shed tears over. Remember that one day, everything will be okay. God's plan is better than anything you could ever imagine, and even though you might be scared now, healing and hope are on the horizon.

So remember where you came from, learn from the mistakes, and move on stronger than you were before. The past does not have to define you when you are a daughter of the One True King.

Sincerely,
Your Younger Self

Dear Older Me,
How are Mazie and Bianca doing? What about Rey and Ben? And yeah, I am definitely guilt tripping you on purpose. Please share them with world. They can't stay in your head forever. Over the past two years you've created this amazing world. Even though you worry that it's boring, or too long, that doesn't matter. Let the Lord bless you with confidence in your creative skills, and trust in Him. Don't worry about impressing people, make this for you. Oh, and is the Obi-Wan Kenobi solo movie good?

                                                                                                            -Zoe Darknight

Dear older me,
I’m so proud of you. I know for a fact that you’ve pressed on and taken chances and healed from your hurt. I know that it’s not complete. It probably never will be. But you are uncovering who you are and who you were meant to be. God has held your hand through all of this, hasn’t he?
Maybe you’re in vet school now. Maybe you’re married. All that matters is that you are walking with God and truly happy in what He’s brought your way. I hope you kept the good friends and moved on from the ones who dragged you down. I hope you aren’t afraid to ask questions. I hope you know that you are beautiful, and loved, and full of love.
Love, younger me

Dear self,

I don't have to say anything here.

You know what you went through all those years ago. And you know the refuge you discovered here. You know how you felt during those days as @Roguecog_Anglepinner and @Nautilus_Lightblast, and how with each new avatar came conflicts, joys, and sorrows. You know what you struggled with, what you wanted to say, but didn't say, what you wanted to do, but didn't do. How you felt, but never told anyone. How you didn't feel, and told everyone.

You can't change any of that past, but you can change the future. Hopefully, you've figured a way out of the hole you fell into a few years back been slowly creeping out of. Who knows, maybe you even got out with a little help.

Well, however you did it, I'm proud of you. I know how you felt about those words back then, and hopefully your opinion has changed since.

I am proud of you.

Signed,

Your younger and less mature self (You have matured, haven't you?),

Nautilus.

Navigating the way.

[Creel_Lenslook]

Ah I haven’t done one of these in a while.

Dear hopefully older me,

I hope your doing well and haven’t thought about repeating the Tuesday fiasco. I bet you became a much better person. I hope you have had vocal lessons and are at least trying for the Voice. Blue hair, you should definitely have blue hair by now. That depression stuff you have, get rid of it. Just kick that to the curb. Make sure you never let your creative artist side go. Always be a little crazy, because all the good people are a little crazy! I hope you have grown even closer to God. Oh note that if you are reading this and you know something crazy is going on like I don’t know end time events or something I just want to say, Good luck! I hope your enjoying life.

Love,
your younger self

Dear older me,
I hope you have continued doing hay for a summer job. I hope you have made good choices. I hope you have some good friends. I hope you are following God with all your heart. I hope you have continued to study and do better in school. I hope you have been guided by God in what to do.

Dear older me,
Have you gotten the well-engineered ensemble yet? if not, go freeze some nests. If you have, then go wear it.
