unwritten love letters

my beautiful friend, gloria, of my younger self (and on her way) is guest posting on my creative fling a few times while i'm away. read on to hear all about her passion for words:


looking back, many of us have things in our lives that we wish we could go back and change, words we should've said, people we should've held on tighter too, and dreams we should've kept pursuing no matter the obstacles. many of us have unwritten love letters to ourselves inside of us, light-hearted or serious letters, that can set us free.
i created the blog my younger self as an outlet for people to write those letters. i also encourage people to submit advice that they wish they would've been given when they were younger. not everyone is fortunate enough to be surrounded by wise and caring people.
if you have unsaid words or wise advice, please go to my younger self and submit your letter.

enjoy this these wise words:

dear younger me,
never let someone else decide your worth - only you know your true value.
learn from your mistakes and move on - there is no point in regretting a past you cannot change.
love yourself - when you love yourself, you allow others to love you as well.
accept compliments with a genuine smile instead of blowing them off.
trust your instinct.
the size of your heart matters more than the size of your jeans.
always make eye contact. blowing your head makes others thing that you are inferior. you are inferior to no one.
