What advice would you give to your teenage self?
My dear young me,
How incredible to write to you; my younger self, my teenage self. I wonder why that idea has never crossed my mind, but I’m so delighted it did today!
Right now I”m pretty sure we both should have our hands full in our two age distant worlds. You with your studies and friends and me with my household chores and news. Therefore, this letter will be brief, just to give you, my dear me, one or two pieces of advice. But, perhaps on another day I will share some funny memories about our life; past and present, for only God knows the future.
First my dear me, Read. Read and you will learn. Read and you will improve yourself. Read and you will laugh and cry. Read and you will live in different cites, villages, countries … . Read and you will meet with people, you might never see the like in your life.
You know whoever said; a reader lives a thousand lives, was so right. So please read from now on. Don’t waste you time watching movies or reading commerial magazines. Reading is much more fun than other things.
Second my dear me. Don”t ever worry. You know, out of experiece, what you fear, in most cases, won’t happen.
Last but not least my dear me, don’t watch the news for, in most cases, they are telling lies; not little white lies, but dark misleading ones.
With all the best wishes,
Nahla
