A Letter to My 13-year old Self

Svara Shah

Hey gorgeous,

I know it might be hard to adjust to the changes that you are facing but make sure that you are yourself. What matters the most is the beauty that lies inside and not the outer appearance. You really are a strong and confident person. Everything will eventually turn out well. The worries you have about the future will seem as small as an atom one day.

You might have faced a lot of downs in your past but make sure that you never let the high-speed, frantic and thrilling roller coaster experience let you down. You are the best and you will achieve the success you deserve in the future because of the hard work, commitment and dedication shown by you. Even though it might seem that getting good marks is the most important task, working on yourself is equally important. Don’t overwork yourself. Getting yourself in the correct emotional state is very important. The changes that you are facing might make you uncomfortable or irritable, but gradually you will turn into a very confident, dedicated, strong and pretty lady.

You might have received a lot of criticism but always repeat the positive affirmation to yourself every single day - “You can do it. You are strong. You are powerful”.

You are lucky! You yourself are a good fortune.

Writing to you from 16, I feel a sense of humour and pride when I write down the experiences you have gone through in life. I am really proud of you. Just a warning “Prepare well for your mathematics exam otherwise you won’t be able to achieve the target.” Just a little suggestion, don’t undermine yourself at any stage of life. You are not a crybaby, it’s just that you get emotional very soon. You definitely will change once you go through the “teen” stage. “Thirteen” really looks like a very big number and it is considered to be an unlucky number for “some.” It won't be for you. Every day will bring lots of stress, criticism and pressure. Just remember to take a deep breath and focus on your long term goals.

Making friends might seem a really big task as of now but trust me, you would end up being the most social person with millions of friends across the world. Just a reminder “Keep reading newspapers and books to improve your skills. It will really be beneficial.” BE YOU. The world will completely change once you cross this stage. Let the fear take backstage and let fierceness take the front seat. Always ask fear to join your wonderful ride but never let it control the steering wheel.

You have lost your near and dear ones in the past and it is very difficult to accept the fact. I understand. Crying might sound like the best solution but you will have to accept the fact eventually. Anyways, make sure that you eat and stay healthy as the prediction of your future is sounding a little dull regarding your health. I know I am sounding like an astrologer but this is somewhat correct.

Stop wishing for something very ideal and hypothetical. The memories that you are making right now are truly precious like a diamond. Enjoy it to the fullest.

Also, a reminder, start taking impressive photos so that you can set them as your DP in the future because I don't have any. Wear whatever you want and whatever you are comfortable in.

Just don't forget to keep that smile on.

Let me tell you one little secret. Shh! Don’t reveal it to anyone. It should be between me and you. Promise? Alright! You will be the leader and captain of your life. You will become one of the witches who can control and lead her life as she wants with her magic wand. Just like Harry Potter.

Use time efficiently and effectively. Keep up the good work and always help the needy. Go, get some rest, drink a cup of coffee and fly high in your magical world. Be mentally creative and shine brighter. Rule the world!

Lots of Love

Ps: Just for your information, the digital world is going to knock off all the dreams of entering your college. So, don’t be upset.
