Nice idea!! many a times during the alone time, I keep visiting back in memory to fix things or change it. Looking back, I feel I acted stupidly or could have done better. This would really be therapeutic. I have a lot to write to my younger self, Innumerable suggestions for each happening
Truly, there are a lot many things to write to my younger self but I will start with the one which I miss today so badly. To my dearest younger self, you were lucky to spend time with your lovely family when they were fully energetic and not dependent on others. My matured self has witnessed my loved one's fragile look which I detest. I want to be reminded of the strong, powerful yet affectionate parents and guardians on whom I was entirely dependent upon. My younger self knew on whom to rely and feel free while now it's all over which is a tragedy.
When I look back I feel that I could have done a lot of things differently but that would have had repercussion s as well. So if I were to write a note for myself..
You had a great childhood, a wonderful father who was well ahead of his times which meant he gave you lots of freedom to express yourself. Sadly, you did not utilise it to the maximum..
I get reminded about a thing quite often. I always suffered from pain in my limbs and usually had severe headache in childhood and early young age. During that uneasiness I was not forced to bother about anything in regards to family and so on. Leave aside big medical issues even in minor discomfort there were many to look after me as well as they handled the usual family chores. Now, it's so different. I won't say my matrimonial family is not caring but still I cannot ignore my responsibilities. Thus, I would say to my younger self that, how fortunate she was! No worries as well as caring people were all around, was a blessing for her while at present it is full of worries and feel so answerable to everyone in the family.
I think it is a great idea to do so, it is very therapeutic to do so. Psychologically it makes us feel happy to turn our real life past incidents atleast on paper to help us feel better & become more creative. On one side it makes us creative & on the other side it relieves our depression.
