A Letter to My 16 Year Old Self

Dear Me,

       You're now in college. I know things are different from the way it used to be. You're not going to the fields, feeding pigs  and thinking about the things you need to do at home anymore. You are now free, yes free! Nobody is waiting at your boarding house and asking you to do stuff.  You can eat what and when you want to, wash the plates if you want to, sleep the whole day if you want to without worrying about the things you didn't do . Don't go home if you want to. That was the best things about being in  college :D but I know that you know that  there is no such absolute freedom because you're being guided by what you believe. You're so pure ,innocent and never been kissed!

    As days goes by you probably notice something different in your environment . You get to meet other people and maybe get influenced . You may try new things but I know you'll not do some drastic changes in your life.  I know you we're culture shocked when your friends friend is looking for somebody to have $e*  with since she doesn't want to do it with his foreigner boyfriend until she was able to do it with a Filipino man. For a promdi like you and anyone with self worth or somebody who knows how to say "what ifs" won't ever do that.

    You don't have a boyfriend? that's fine , you never had one all your life.You will eventually have one in the near future. Don't worry about your friend who's convincing you to try having a boyfriend . He's just jealous that that you're innocent and he's not. Anyway he's always there, your best friend . He will take care of you, advise you and help you if you need a hand.

    You don't have any viand on your table while studying? don't worry about that, anyway you never  ran out of rice which other people don't even have. That's okey if you don't have something to pay for your photocopy you can work it out . Get a copy once you have money or just copy the important details on your notebook. It doesn't make difference anyway. You even get higher scores than those people with the complete copy. Everything will be fine .

    I'm so proud of you . You'll meet more people and challenges in life, it never ends . You'll  fail  a lot of times and  in the future but I know that everything happens for a reason. God will never leave you alone . He always makes a way.

P.S you'll meet a wonderful man in the near future :D

Love and prayers,

Your 28 years old you
