As this year come to an end, I wanted to get a little more personal with my readers. I found myself in a zone the other night. I started to really reflect on where I’ve been to now, so as usual, I started to write. There became a flow of energy writing through my hands, and I couldn’t stop for a while. Turns out, I was writing a letter to myself. Well today, I share this letter with you all.

Dear Self,

Looking back on the past two years, mainly 2020, I remember you wanting to change you for the better of you and your mental health. You journaled so much, saying that one day you’ll be able to help others and start something beneficial for you and them. 2021 showed up and you went through a series of changes. Some were easy, many were tough, but you held your head high through them all. At the end of 2021, you launched your blog and I know that this is only the beginning.

I’ve learned so much about you: emotional triggers, boundaries, and concerns. I’m still learning you. I’ve watched you struggle with mistakes of the past and manage to keep moving forward during those difficult times. You’ve learned to focus more on the things you cared about and release the things that didn’t serve you anymore.

The patience you’ve built with me has helped me learn you emotionally, physically, and mentally. Slowly, but surely you released the many expectations you held for others and gained mentally healthy expectations for me. You learned how to release the grip you had on the things you couldn’t control. All this you achieved was through learning to be patient with me.

You Built Faith

I am so proud of the faith you’ve built with The Creator and the Universe. Maybe a year and a half ago you asked to become more faithful. You manifested your faith. You were tested time and time again to see how strong your belief and trust was. Although you still have a long way to go, you believed more than you doubted and that is what makes me so proud of the person you’re becoming.

I can’t express how honored I am to go through this journey with you. These past two years have made me understand your life as a child until now. It made me understand why you went through certain things and why they happened the way they did. Those things happened to change and shift your energy and for us to become in alignment with one another. It made you stronger. We became a force together and was introduced to a relationship we didn’t have before. It hasn’t been easy, but undeniably necessary.

Moving in Discomfort

I’ve watched you be uncomfortable for the past two years getting to know me and I notice the way you seek more of it. You’ve understood that it helps you build a stronger connection to me. We have fought each other many times. Sometimes you won and sometimes you lost. You were okay with that because what you wanted more than ever was not to lose me again. You understood that if you could battle with me, you could battle anything thrown your way.

You’ve inspired me to keep going. Who needs a hero when I have you? Remember who you are. I’m always here.

Your biggest love,

Self

P.S. I can’t wait to embark on this new chapter with you. Let’s reach new levels of love, abundance, prosperity, and growth. I love you. Never forget.

To My Audience

Always be willing to write and talk with yourself. Only you know what you’ve truly been through and what you want out of life. Having that close relationship with self can be uncomfortable, loving, and educational. If you don’t master anything in else in life, master self. No one else can do that for you.

Peace and Love,

Ashley
