Prompt 8: There will be an agreement in whatever variety of actions, so they be each honest and natural in their hour. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
What would you say to the person you were five years ago? What will you say to the person you’ll be in five years?

Dear 25-year-old me,
Don't worry about getting it ‘right’, just live naturally. Don’t be afraid of going at your own pace and dancing to your own music, even if anyone else tells you that’s not ‘normal’. Who wants to be like anyone else? Be true to yourself. Don’t give up, don’t let other people’s unconsciousness and expectations bring you down. Collect nice people, and let the other ones go. Life goes fast when you are really living, but never worry about that, just smile and hold fast!

Always look to enjoy the process, not the goal! There is no end.

Dear 35-year-old me,
It’s amazing to see the vibe you give out to people. They feel like you are here for them 100%. They feel your love and they love you. The quality of your work is amazing. Beauty is in you and everywhere. I love how letting go of your anxiety has made every laugh your natural, free, deep belly laugh. Smile from the heart and it lights up the world. You are natural and in the flow wherever you direct your creativity and attention. Doubts can’t get you now. Education is love and passion! Don’t put me in a box because I’ll not go! And don’t go looking for a box, it’s only limiting. Spend your time with the highest-quality people you can find. Love doesn’t exist in one person, it exists in many, and if you can see it, in all. You are so lucky to have many amazing people in your life.

Always look to enjoy the process, not the goal!
