True Life: If I Could Talk to My Younger Self, I’d Say…

April 5th, 2012 - By madamenoire

Dava:  Everything you need to get through life is within you. Never forget it.

@brainy1922:  I would tell my younger self to embrace being different, smart & quirky… to be myself regardless of what anyone thought :)

    I would say, “Soph, Regardless of the label you lived under, you are loved by the REAL ONE and HE is what beautifies you. “LOVE” is your identity and you are worth loving. Take school more seriously. Your home life is not a excuse to not press out your best. Focus! Focus! Focus! They won’t understand the direction God is taking you, but it doesn’t mean that you are not called to do great things! No one dictate who you are gonna be, except you and GOD! And you are gonna do things that those same naysayers only wished they could do! Don’t get so caught up in your negative thoughts about yourself. Let GOD show you who HE created you to be. Switch your thoughts into prayers and watch where the Lord takes you…

    I would say you are too damn young and there are too many swexy intelligent women in college for to be in a serious relationship. I would also say that before you go to Law School teach for 4 to 7 years.

    I’d say: Keep your morals; it’ll be worth it in the end. And don’t worry about your insecurities; you’ll grow into them and everyone will love you for it.

    The vow you made to God at 18 will still be holding up 25 yrs later.

    Dear Felicia, 

    Focus on school first. Its okay to have fun but do not take a break after college because its really hard to stop working and go to grad school. Don’t be in a relationship with anyone that speaks to you in a condescending manner. Be careful not to trust just anyone. There will come a time when you will think your whole world is crumbling around you. It actually is, but don’t worry…the world you will build after that is well worth it. 

    P.S. Be wary of greek guys, especially sigmas.

    I would tell myself remember you are beautiful no matter what anyone tells you, to be a little different from others IS beautiful. I’m also in college but i have made mistakes in the past that i would tell myself to slow down and think about your future…what is it YOU want to do with your life…think wisely, go for all A’s and don’t major in a major you have no interest in. Follow in the path God has made for you and continue on to be the best you can be….

    Only because most everything that stuck to me were those give it to me conversatios.

    Id tell my younger self: look here you little heffa just because your tits perky and everything all tight and looking nice, you need to get a gym membership and that naturalistic flow your growing into… stay with it because the same ones that talk now are going to want it themselves on day. they just reject what they dont know.

    Lastly id say. You to young to understand now butt its true thell soon say  THE BLACK THE BERRY THE SWEATER THE JUICE!!! hold on to that with your pretty chocolate self.;)

    • Sophia “MamaChef” Willoughby

      Yes, Erika! I would have said the same to my chocolate self. LOL

    My older self would have been a stranger who looked familiar to me.  The question is: would I have listened?

  • kenedy

    I would tell myself to live life to the fullest, not to dwell so much on the negative & to go out there & take risks, to not be afraid & playing it safe all the time

    I would tell little Emma to follow your heart dont let anyone make decisions for you.Stay focused and you can accomplish anything.

    i’m still in college. i would tell my younger self to study more in hs cuz though i had good grades i know i couldve done better. I’d go back and give guys a chance instead of immediately cutting them off when i realized that there was no chemistry or anything (shallow, yes). other than that i feel like everything happens for a reason. had  i done better in school i wouldn’t have been at the private school i was at and i wouldn’t have made the friends i have now & my values would have been completely different. i like where i am now. still figuring out things about myself.

    As you were! because everything I went through in life brought me to were I am today. I have a piece of mind, two beautiful children and a husband who loves and respects me. I know that I will let God be my guide and be my strength during my hardships. 

  • Beautiful

    I’d say : there will be days where all you have is you ! You have to tell yourself how beautiful you are!

  • Jolie

    I’d say: Don’t listen to your mom, go to school where you want to go and get the degree YOU want! Find a way to live the life you dreamed of at night. Your family will come around in time and you’ll thank yourself for becoming a better you vs. settling for an ‘ok’ version.

    …Did anyone else cry while writing theirs?! Just me??? Oh =/
