To my younger self,

It's easy to feel uncared for when people aren't able to communicate and connect in the way that you need.

It's so hard not to internalize that silence as a reflection on your worth, but the truth is that the way other people operate is not about you.

Most people are so caught up in their own responsibilities, struggles, and anxiety that the thought of asking someone else how they're doing doesn't even cross their mind. They aren't  inherently bad or uncaring, they are just busy and self-focused and that's okay.

To my younger self, I just want you to remind that you’ve done greatly from what you are before up until now. Despite in that young age, you already know how to deal different challenges in your life. As far as I could remember, my younger years is the toughest one for me since God already test my will to live by giving me the hardest problem in my entire life and glad you surpassed it!!! Im so proud of how brave and strong you are, because of that I am already at the better state of my life.

# data[].attributes.body
My advice to my younger self is to stay strong and never get affected by the problems that life has to give to you. I had difficulties early in life that had taught me to be mature at a young age, bullying had taught me that life wasn't good and perfect to you. I hope that you will gain more confidence in everything you do and that don't let society decide for you. Make your own decisions that you think is right and never make decisions for the sake of other people. Everything will just go in to place as you go on as long as you choose the right people to befriend and cherish. Never give up on life and continue to move on forward.

To my younger self, I know you were really shy and felt uncomfortable when you go outside so I’ll give you some piece of advice. Don’t be hard on yourself, and don’t hold yourself to express your feelings and interact with other people. I know it is hard for you to do it but I hope you’ll have the courage. As time goes on, it will be easier for you and become more confident so you’ll be ready to do and to face everything what the future may holds for you.

Hiho Everyone! I'm Bacalla, Arabella O.  and I hope you'll have a Lovely day just as lovely as You Are.  If you're reading this, this would me a letter for my younger self.

Hey buddy! You're still so young so don't put too much pressure and don't expect anything to people, just enjoy. You don't have to impress someone, you're just making yourself feel useless if they didn't get what you expect from them. You should impress yourself more often. I know you, You always give everything to people you love not knowing you forgot about yourself. You're patient to other people but you don't have any patience  left in you. Remember that you also exist,you matter, please love yourself more. You're doing good honey, I'm proud of you. I hope you would also take care and think about of yourself more, not just for the others. Focus on yourself sometimes to keep yourself sane. You'll definitely achieve your dreams soon, just be patient and walk with God along the way.

An advice for my 10 year old self

Always listen to your parents because they know what's best for you. Enjoy while you're still young and cherish every moment.

# data[].attributes.body
First of all, I just want you to know that I’m so proud of you. Take your time being young. Do something that makes you happy. And don’t worry about life right now. Enjoy yourself being a kid. Watch documentaries, history and science but don’t spend too much time on computer so you won’t get bad eyesight in the future. Just play all you want with friends like outdoor activities to help your physical growth, learn new things, run around like a butterfly, have fun! Also, be confident in everything that you do because sooner or later the confidence will help you attract many opportunities which you might’ve imagined. Lastly, eat lots of healthy foods like vegetables. Be conscious of your health. Oh! I almost forgot. Start saving money little by little because your gonna be buying lots of your Kpop albums in the future (kidding).

I want to actually say a lot to younger me but I don't think a child could comprehend all of it. Instead I will just say few words that may help me with my problems. Even for a 19 years old, I don't think I understand or at least apply of what I will say. "Don't be to hard to yourself". Saying try your best or be happy is too cliche and honestly I think I did try my best and some parts I was happy. But there would be times where your self worth would be questioned for what you did. Don't crucify yourself for your past mistakes instead try to learn from it. Even at this stage I am still processing that so don't get pressured. Enjoy the flow of time and meet a lot of people to ease yourself. You'll feel a lot of emotions but I don't think I have the power to change that because that is life. Just don't be too hard on yourself.

Sincerely,
Me

May advice to the 10 years old me is that, don’t loose hope for everything that bring people down about you. You’re strong and I know you can. We Will make it. In Jesus name.

# data[].attributes.body
You are a child who is outgoing, bold, and gregarious. You enjoy trying new things and stepping outside of your comfort zone. All I want is that you preserve that personality for another ten or twenty years. It will provide you with several opportunities to help you grow into a better person. Participate in sports that you enjoy and are skilled at! Don't worry about what other people think. It is always preferable to attempt and fail than to never try at all. Furthermore, problems may arise as you get older and you should be prepared for them. Most importantly, be aware of your DESIRES and NEEDS.

# data[].attributes.body
There's nothing wrong with you, but the people who surrounds you. Live your life as how you want it to be as for your tenth year and I'll take care of the rest. Start loving yourself already, live it to the fullest. Life must've been so hard with you, but that's life, not perfect. I promise you to fulfill all your dreams and give you the love you deserve.

# data[].attributes.body
Just enjoy being a little girl because time flies so fast. Sleep if you want and play like you always wanna do. Have confidence in yourself. Do not be jealous of the other girls who are growing faster than you, because there's nothing wrong with you. Have confidence in yourself and love yourself without worrying what others would say behind you.

# data[].attributes.body
At that age I always thought that things we're already hard. However, life will hit you harder along the way. You shouldn't hinder yourself from trying all the different things that interest you, because someday- you'll lose the opportunity and time to do so. Also, stop being picky about food and try them all. (Sayang kaayo eat all you can nya fried chicken ra imong gikaon.)

# data[].attributes.body
There are just three things I would tell to my younger self. To begin with, he should never make a decision on his own; instead, he should consider the things in his surroundings as well as the situations that may lead to his particular decision. Furthermore, place God at the center of his life, because God will never abandon him, no matter how difficult the situation. Finally, stay true to himself and remain modest.

# data[].attributes.body
Hi kiddo. Have confidence in yourself. Don't look for anyone else's validation for your own happiness or success. Learn to love and respect yourself without worrying if you're 'good enough' or 'cool enough. You're still young, but don't waste time and dwell on fears and insecurities. Don't miss out on memories because you're caught up in fear, sadness and insecurity.  You will have bad times coming but then that's something every people has to overcome at some point. What hurts now won't hurt later if you choose to let go. Your experiences will shape you, but you have a will to let go or give in. Don't ever blame yourself for the things that have happened between your parents or the people around you. Don't build a wall to the people who wants to be at your side, stop pushing them away. And lastly, don't hurt yourself. Ever.

# data[].attributes.body
You're still young, do all the things that make you the happiest and enjoy the most out of it. Appreciate all the little things that people do for you before it's too late. You may encounter a lot of hardships as you grow but I know that you'll be able to overcome all of those in no time.

To my younger self, you will be ostracized by how you look and how you see yourself, you will feel that the universe is coming for you, things won't fall in to place,you will live through a life of regret, you will want to throw the towel in and give up, and you will suffer a lot of mental and self-esteem issues. But the end of the day keep doing you, keep on striving, fighting, and focus on your goals and dreams keep holding on to what you know best, trust in your self, be patient things will someday come to place, things are not set in stone and will change, take a leap of Faith because life is all about that, you will meet a lot of people and there are some that you will be bound to cut of from your life , and lastly don't lose yourself because at the end of the day you only have you, yourself, and God. You still have a long way to go, but as they say pressure makes diamonds.

The advice that I would give to my 10-year old self is to enjoy your childhood while it lasts.Do not wish to grow up too fast because you only have one chance to experience and enjoy your childhood.Also,things may get hard in the future but I believe in you.

# data[].attributes.body
As you grow, the battle in this world will grow biggger. Be tough and have confidence in yourself, do not listen to anyone’s judgement. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Recognize that you are a person with incredible potential who is deserving of great things. Never lose sight of the ability to amuse yourself with simple things. Don't continue to waste your time on wasteful matters. There are some things that will break your heart and destroy and ruin your mind; simply pray and ask God to remove the anger from your heart. Good luck on having trust issues with everyone and do not trust anyone but God.

Good morning everyone. Justine Jane Ajoc here.
My advice to my younger self would be a reminder to be kind to everyone. Not everyone of us is fortunate enough to have a life like yours. Be thankful for the things that you have and enjoy your childhood. When you grow up, struggles will always get into your ways, so hold on. After all, problems are just a passerby yet you get to learn from it.

For my 10 years old me, I would like to say that even you still have a long way to go and a lot of things to know, just have patience. You can play your role with that age but realize also that you will be hurt and hurt other people along the way. So be careful on how you treat everyone specially your family. If you are hurting and confuse, just think deep. But still thank you because I wouldn't be like this right now if you weren't like that. You made me realize such things and it change me.

Good Morning! I'm Hughpert Enage, 19 years old and if I had to give my 10-year old self an advice, I would tell him to just "Live the way life takes you to. Flowing with the same waves as me for I have found comfort and happiness from living my life. Good and bad things had happened to me, unexpected happenings, huge life downer moments and such happiness but this is what made me what I am today and I love myself as I am today. Whatever I went through will also be the things that you'll go through and that's what makes life interesting. To be able to not see what lies tomorrow, to learn from yesterday and to accept every happening of today."

Good morning everyone! I am Elvir Zius N. Feril and the advice that I will give to my younger self is to keep holding on. You're having a rough time especially with the people who kept on bullying you. I'm sorry to hear that and no child should experience bullying at any age. It may be hard for you to do since you are still a child, but be strong and don't listen to them. Bullies are ignorant people who like to step on other people to make themselves feel better. You're better than them, so show them what you got and believe in yourself! Trust me and you'll get the desired future that you have wanted for a long time!

Morning, everyone! Maxine Alexandra U. Pepito here!

Maxine, the 10-year-old, you should always put trust and confidence in yourself. Do not look down on yourself just because you only think that others are way better than you are. God knows how powerful you are on your own. Also, even if other people do not believe you, always remember that God is there to believe everything that you did and everything that you will do in the future. Always aimed at showing the people that a woman can fight alongside a man. Always set your heart on following what the core of your vision is. Walk towards the correct path with a confident smile on your face, and do not look down on yourself ever again because you are also important.

# data[].attributes.body
My advice to the 10 years old me would be don’t let other people ruin yourself, to put yourself first all the time or I must say do not lit yourself to keep  others warm it will just drained you. It is not selfish to put yourself first because at the end of the you can only have yourself.

So, don't sweat it. Stop overthinking and relax, you're already exhausted.
