I found a photo of the younger me it is funny how smiling can hide what is underneath. Sometimes I wish I could go back and help so this is what I say in a note to my self hey there lonely boy don't you worry about the future Lord knows your gonna get there so just keep taking it day by day there's gonna be some heart break your gonna make some big mistakes but God's still got ya even when it don't feel that way Gods still got ya so ya gonna be ok

Hey there, younger me,

I stumbled upon a photo of us, and it brought back a wave of emotions. It's incredible how our smile back then could hide the turmoil that lay beneath the surface. Looking at that picture, I wish I could go back and offer a helping hand.

I want you to know that no matter what lies ahead, you will make it through. The future might seem uncertain and overwhelming at times, but trust me, you're going to get there. Take each day as it comes, with patience and perseverance.

I won't sugarcoat it; there will be heartbreak along the way. You'll make some colossal mistakes that may feel like the weight of the world crashing down on you. But remember, even in those moments where it feels like no one understands, God is still watching over you. His love and guidance will never waver, even when it seems like He's distant.

So, hold on tight, younger me. Rest assured that you're going to be okay. Trust in yourself, surround yourself with loving people, and never forget that there's always hope on the horizon. Keep pushing forward, and remember that God's got your back every step of the way.

With love and faith,
Your older self
