Dear past self,
I know you love that tree,
But I wish I could tell you not to name it.
I know you think you’re being clever,
But I wish I could tell you not to try so hard.
I know you want a puppy more than anything,
But I wish I could tell you you’re not ready.
I know you hate doing the dishes,
But I wish I could tell you to be grateful.
Make more friends
Go outside
Fail a test once in a while
Try other toothpaste
The one you like is expensive.
I wish I could tell you to sing
More often
I wish I could tell you to be less afraid.
I wish I could tell you to take better care of yourself.
Dear past self
