Reflect

Advice to a younger me

If I could write a letter to me 10 years ago,
I would tell myself to slow down with the partying.
Enjoy the great and amazing nights with your girlfriends,
do the crazy shit
but don’t forget to take some time out to reflect and be self-aware.
Recognise the difference
between going out to let loose
and going out to lose yourself.
If in reflecting,
you notice there are demons in pursuit,
don’t run away.
Don’t look for distractions in meaningless moments that will add nothing to your soul.
You don’t realise it yet,
but ‘your task is not to seek for love,
but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it’.
Because if you don’t,
those walls and demons will control you
and you’ll hurt a wonderful man.
You’ll feel his heart break
and in turn,
your own.
You’ll feel sick when his beautiful blue eyes tortured with pain search yours for answers and you have none.
You are not a victim,
you have a choice.
Be brave,
for him
but mostly for yourself.

Quote is by Rumi
