Dear Older Me,

Please give yourself rewards. If you are earning your own money, don't be afraid to splurge a little. But don't overspend. Younger you don't want you to become like your parents who doesn't know when to stop spending. Learn from their mistakes.

Here to remind you,

Younger you

Dear Older Me,

Remind yourself to pray. Be thankful for the things you have, and ask him the things that you want and need. Don't be afraid to ask to Him for stuff that you desire. Always remember, it won't hurt you to ask and don't limit His powers in giving you the things that you desire.

Here to remind you,

Younger you

Dear Older Me,

Dear older me,

As you grow old, learn to forgive. Be it other's fault or even yours. Remember when you were young, you tend to keep grudges to those who've done you good, and you know that every time it eats you inside, and how you always pray at night to God to grant you a simple wish - to learn to forgive. Give yourself that simple gift.

Learn to let go. You owe younger you that much.

Here to remind you,

Younger you.

Dear Older Me,

Try to give people the benefit of the doubt. Remember that when you were younger, people around you are quick to point the blaming finger before knowing what really happened, only to find out that the accused is really innocent.

Friendships were torn, enemies were formed and at the end of the day, the damage has been done. So please, remind yourself to know the whole story and weigh carefully the situation before judging.

Here to remind you,

Younger you

Dear Older Me,

Learn to summon self-control.

Dear Older Me,

Please remind yourself never to let your problems get the best of you, and try not to resort to drinking whenever there's a problem. Be it personal or professional. Don't be a drunkard when you get old...
Nobody likes to see you throw up or sleep in your own filth or even hear you talk jibberish.

Dear Older Me,

Please remind yourself this simple words of wisdom when you are about to embark in the workforce:
"Whatever you see, whatever you hear, when you leave, just leave it here."

Here to remind you,

Younger you
Dear Older Me,

Please be reminded that  when you get older, please be in a job that you truly love. Remember that younger you wants to ensure that you land in a job that you actually love doing. A job that you want to wake up in the morning and look forward to do rather than  hating it and doing it for the sake of having a job. And if you find yourself one day having a job that you hate. Do everything to turn it around and try looking for the job that you like. If not, try to learn to love your job.

Here to remind you,

Younger you
Dear Older me,

Please remember the small things in life that you took for granted - and treasure them like the things you care the most. Small things like your eyesight, your breathing, the colors of your surroundings, YOUR FAMILY!, small walks, your friends, the clothes on your back, the music that you like, your youth, your body, your hearing, your nose, and your capability top smell, your hair and other things that you don't value when you were young. I know that in the future, all these things will come to pass. So please. Treasure them while you have them. And remember what you've kept on telling others: You'll never know the importance of the thing/person until you've lost them or it forever.

Here to remind you,

Younger you.
Dear Older Me,

Just a reminder, when you have your children, please be kind to them. Appreciate them when you see them do something good. Even for the simple things. Remember the time when you used to envy families who are so close to each other? I don't care if you are the breadwinner of the family or you just saved the world from future abomination. You should be able to inspire your children, and treasure them. Even the simplest "Thank you" or "I'm proud of you", or "Great job", and most specially the simplest "I'm sorry" when you make mistakes. These simple words will do.

Here to remind you,

Younger you
Dear Older Me,

By the time you get old. Please don't exaggerate everything. I just want you to remember your younger years when you  hate it when your mother exaggerate everything by assuming the worst in everything, and worse when you hear her tell a modified and often a blown out of proportioned to everything that happened. Remember how you hate it when people believed her more than you? And don't get me started with your brother and father.

So please, do us all a favor, stick to the facts. And if you don't know the whole story, just shut up!

Here to remind you,

Younger you
Dear Older Me,

I have to remind you, that when you get old, please remember to flush the toilet after using it. Be it no. 1 or no. 2.
Nobody want s to get in the toilet and see that the bowl you'll be using isn't flushed. Remember your father? How you hate it when you just woke up and you need to pee, by the time you enter the bathroom, instead of peeing, you find yourself nearly throwing up because you've seen the toilet bowl unflushed after he just do no. 2 with it. Please don't grow old and actually be gross by the things you do like your father.

Here to remind you,

Younger you.
