Dear Littler me

Dear all(Sharon Immaculate Waithira’s previous versions),
I wrote to you a while back. It was such a lovely letter but sadly I have lost it. Not to worry, however, you now let go of bygones and you will be okay. You will catch on, you’ll see.
As always I love you very dearly. I wrote this with extra love seasoning holding a few pointers you could use on your way.
- Be kind to yourself — You know how kind and empathetic you can be to other people? Yeah, hold the same empathy when it comes to you. I know how easy it is to beat yourself up even for the tiniest things. I know this as I am you. Recognise when to quit it. You are as worthy of forgiveness as anyone else. You are worthy of royalty treatment just like anyone else. I also know your tendency to put others before and have your needs come later. Quit it! You are not a second-class citizen. Do not be afraid to go after what you desire in life and at the same time never lose your empathy.
- What they think of you is none of your business — It really isn’t.
- No one’s opinion of you should ever stop you from chasing and being who you are. Own your you. Never ever try to “control” yourself for the benefit of not appearing extra to other people. You are damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t so you just might as well do whatever you want. Be you, the world will adjust!
- You are precious — Never ever lose track of this. Always carry yourself knowing this.
- It’s okay to not be okay — It is when you are sad and in a low spirit that you find yourself. It is easy and natural to want to wish it away and worse put up a show just to mask it. Do not, you will only hurt. Instead, wallow in it. Be okay with the sadness. It is the only way out of it. It teaches you empathy. You learn to be human and to see some things that ordinarily would not be apparent to you. You learn that life is not all rosy and that it is okay that it isn’t. Don’t beat yourself up for this. Wallow in the mess then get out of it and move on.
- Flirting is loads of fun — This should have been number one. Flirt and have fun with as many people as you can. Wake up and do whatever it is you feel like doing without the fear of judgement. If it makes you happy and is aligned with your spirit then follow it through. Take care of yourself though and learn when to take a re-energizing break. Be happy inside always. I will say it again: Be happy! (Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!).
- If they wanted to they would’ve — Never ever try to figure out someone else’s intentions. If they are not doing something about it then they really don’t want to. Also, this is very much okay. Learn to let things flow on their own. Trust the universe.
- Live love and be real — No matter what life throws at you, no matter the bad energy that surrounds you, always keep this precious to you. Preserve your innocence and genuine. It is magic! It is power and strength. Don’t let the world steal it from you. Live and experience every moment. Love with your all. Love the hell out of them. Give love and more of it without expectations of any in return. Last but not least, be real.
- If it comes let it if it stays let it if it goes let it — Learn to let go. It is difficult at first but once you get the hang of it it gets easier. Let go of things that don’t serve you and even those that do but are not available for you. Learn to let things flow freely. Stay grounded and let your spirit guide you.
- Be you the world will adjust — Always be you. Never ever live your life trying to please anyone. You will never ever manage to do this and it does no one any good. You are what the world needs. Let go of everyone’s expectations of you and be human. Be unapologetically you. Stand in the sun and be your own person.
- Never allow yourself to be a doormat — Absolutely no one has the mandate to walk all over you. At the same time never allow anyone this luxury. You are precious and that is the only way you should let people treat you.
- from you with love
