A Letter To Your 15-Year-Old Self

Ever thought about that? Writing a letter yo your 15-year-old self? Hoping that some advice and lessons would be taught earlier before that incident happened. Hoping that you knew what was coming even before it came. Well, maybe I can't reverse time for you, but if you were to sit down and write a letter to your yesterday, how would the letter come out? Would it be a forewarning of something? Or about that missed opportunity? I would like to hear all that!

This week could get personal and I can't wait to receive all your lovely entries.

PS : This contest is created only for the members of #powerhousecreatives but non-members can still send in your entries if you're interested to participate.

If I could, I would.

Hello Chris. Remember you used to say that hundreds of times to yourself? How do I know this?

Because I'm your thoughts, your feelings, your hopes, your dreams, your failures, and your triumphs molded and shaped into the being that will become your life. I have experienced all these for you over the time and space that is your future. So I'm reaching out to you now before you turn 16 and your life will change forever.

Dear Fifteen Year Old Self by @wwwiebe

Dear Fifteen-Year-Old-Me:

Somehow, through the magical wizardry of time-travel science, I have been able to write this letter and send it back through the ages to you, my younger self, at a most pivotal time in our life. I do not have long, so will not be able to wax as poetic as I might like, so I shall get right to the point.

Hello.

Meen foovasta.

If I knew how to properly write that phrase, I would. But I, like you, have only heard it spoken, and not often enough. Our father said it to me in his kind moments, which were too few. He says it to you. He calls you Kookla just as he once called me, and just as he will your daughters, albeit rarely.

I Trust You by @free-reign

So look, I know you aren’t really prepared for this, since the technology that allows me to send this communication to you never existed until now, in the year 2020, but that’s not going to matter. Once you receive the communication, it will become an unforgettable memory for both of us. I just want you to know that I have no reason to change anything by warning you about what is to come.

A letter to Carolina on her 15th by @carolinacardoza

I want to write you this letter and I hope that something will happen to you after reading it. You know that I love you very much and the only thing I want is that you continue to do well in your life. You are now 15 years old and you are starting another stage in your life, you are no longer a child but a woman, more mature and more prepared to face what is coming in your life.

Dear Former Self... by @porters

Now this was nearly fifty years ago for me! But it gave me an opportunity to reflect and see some of the changes that have come about over the years. I was looking at what wisdoms I could pass on to my former self, wisdoms that have the possibility to make the journey to where I am today a little easier and perhaps to be further along the path than I am now.

So you think you know it all at 15? by @lizelle

Dearest young Liza,

So you think you know it all at the ripe old age of 15 don’t you? Mom and Dad really don’t know what goes on in the world do they?

You started wearing spectacles just last year from those 2am marathon reading sessions as those books were just too good to put down.

Hi Dex, it's you! by @dexpartacus

Dear Dex,

Your rebellious spirit makes me think a lot, I know it's still early, but stop and think a little bit about your future, wouldn't it be nice to choose a right school for you and commit more in studying?

I know that you don't want to study or think too much about the future, I know that your dream Is to break through with music and travel the world doing concerts, but maybe you should be a little more realistic.

Why you choose to live? by @mrnightmare89

Hi, hello the old me. Isn't it funny that I'm thinking of you while I'm writing this. I imagine that both of us facing each other. It's fine because I used to talk myself alone.

Did you know that @zord189 is hosting a contest? It's about writing my old self, I think you don't mind reading my letter for you, right? I wanted to write you a letter long time ago. I just want you to know that because of your decision from before. I have regrets in life why I'm still here stuck in this kind of life. If I have regrets, I have happiness to share to you also that I should be thankful to you.

Honorable Mentions (1 Steem Each)

This week's honorable mentions, we have two Steemians who sent in their entries to participate in our weekly PHC contest even though they aren't members of the community and I truly appreciate that! In return, I've decided to also reward them 1 steem each for the support! Thank you awesomeness!

A letter to the guide of my life. by @wakeupkitty

Dear Kitty,

It is good there are two of us and you know that it is the reason why you are never alone.
At 15 years old you make decisions many adults are not capable of. I always wonder why you are that strong, how come you are always right and see long before others what is really going on.
No one needs to wake you up. You see it clear, very clear although not a single soul believes you.
They call you naive, arrogant, haughty, too proud even hateful. You walk straight up, keep your head up in the sky and seldom speak a word.
You are definitely an old soul and that is why your friends are twenty years older and look like children to you.

A Letter to Me (15 years ago) by @claudio83

Life is never simple and every time we run into certain difficulties, you have to learn to step back a few steps. This does not mean giving up everything but it is necessary to take a larger run to jump a slightly higher obstacle.
