for me

Hello everyone~ This is Aulia here, reporting live from the comfort of my own house. This week, I am going to tackle a topic that's rather near and dear to my heart, and that is "What would I say to my younger self and my ten-year older self if I could message them?".

This is very important stuff everyone! Not just because it's about time travel, but it's also because of consequences! We all have things we did that in retrospect, could have been done better. Now with that serious talk out of the way, I will now begin with my younger self first.

"Hello younger me. Yes, you read that correctly. It's yourself, from the future. I don't have much time, so I'm just going to give you the message I wanted to give you: Be good. Be kind to other people, but don't let other people take advantage of you. Always smile, even when it seems that things would never get better. And most important of all, never lose hope. Oh, and parents! Cherish them dearly, for the sacrifices they've made outnumber the stars in heaven. I wish you luck, me."

Alright, that's my message to my younger self. Kinda confusing to adress someone when that someone is yourself. Now for my 10-year-older self. Here goes.

"Hello older me. I'm not sure if you've been expecting to hear from me, but if you were the me that did this, you probably did expect me. That'd simplify things greatly, but I digress. I'm curious about so many things; what has changed? Are there still traffic jams? Am I married? Did I get my Masters Degree? I can't separate which one's important and which one's not anymore; they just keep pouring out. You know how I feel; I'm anxious, anxious that my future might not be bright, anxious that my dreams might be out of reach, and last of all, anxious that the me that's reading this, might not even be the same me anymore. That I have changed somehow, into a stranger out of touch with the world, caring only for the reality I've built for myself. I have too many worries honestly; i just hope that you'll have less than me."

And that's a wrap! Thank you very much for reading. I apologize for any mistakes I may have made, and see you next time!
