Dear Present Self...

 While I was cleaning earlier, I found this letter I wrote maybe when I was in 3rd Year or 4th Year College during one of our recollections. I will spare you the burden of reading it 'coz of my illegible handwriting haha, so this it how it goes:

"Dear present self,
Hello :D !
I know you are enjoying your life now. You are not stressing yourself too much and that's good because you are happy doing it but be sure to know your priorities first but I know you are good at multitasking and great at cramming :D. Love yourself before you love others too much. Treasure you friends and of course your family. Don't regret things that make you happy. Enjoy life. Laugh always. Let God lead your journey to the finish line. SMILE. :) Don't rush.
Much L<3ve,
Jean Michael L. Castillo
:)"


I found myself smiling the first time I read it. I realized, I didn't changed that much since I wrote that letter. I'm still a happy-go-lucky person. I do not stress myself on petty things. I still cram, cram, cram. I think this letter still applies until today. I must know my priorities to achieve my dreams but of course achieving my dreams won't be fulfilling without my treasured family and friends, and reaching the finish line will be impossible without God' guidance. Thank you Past/Present self.

Life may bring you many grey clouds, but remember around every grey cloud there is always a silver lining.
