130. What would you tell yourself from 10 years ago?

Hopefully it’s nothing too regretful.

At the end of next year, it’s going to be my 10 year high school reunion. The time has absolutely flown by. My life hasn’t really changed in the way that I saw it would when I just finished my final exams.

I know, high school is the best time of our lives and we should appreciate it more. I’d heard that while I was in high school and to some extent understood it. But I didn’t/couldn’t really grasp it until I had left the box.

To think that 10 years ago I was 16. My life is different, yes, but I wish I was more patient. I wish I started writing everyday at that age, until now. Imagine what things would be like now if I had done that!

I’d like to think that I’m wiser now. I’d like to think that in another 10 years time when I look back on the time I was 27 and it was the first year of 100 Naked Words, it would be the tenth year of me writing consistently.

To tell yourself that you have absolutely no regrets and that you did everything you could to make sure you had none… that for me is one of the highest goals to reach.
