Dear Past Me, Reincarnation is not just for the afterlife.

Dear Past Me, you’re a very feeling soul aren’t you? Your bookshelf is stacked with anthologies of poetry you’ll happily weep to, stories of chivalry and romance you’d gladly read again, and contemporary satires that will make you want to walk along the street feeling like you too could be in that novel. You pine for a world where you’re at the mercy of the beauty of life, and you’ll happily go along with that whether it be good or bad for you because all forms of beauty are beautiful after all...

Dear past me, you’ll learn to love yourself amidst the chaos

Dear past me, you were something like a miracle child, a God-given blessing to parents who waited and prayed and longed for your birth for eighteen years. They’re older now, weaker, and fragile and it will be a heavy weight on your chest, a mountain or a volcano or a pile of rocks and stones only getting heavier with every passing moment. The crushing guilt of wanting a life of your own choosing, paving a way into a world that seems set against you, will bury you alive, suffocating you with its hands, screaming in your face about responsibilities and love and expectations, blaming you for the inevitable heartbreak they will feel...

Dear Past Me, Life isn’t for the squeamish

Dear Past Me, How could you have known? You came naked to a world that didn’t want you. Born on a kitchen table because your mother didn’t have the money for a hospital. Like everything else in your life, you’ve pretended this is cool when it’s actually pathetic. You have to admit it makes for...

Here are 20 things you know, now that you’re 20. How exciting to think about how this list will change and grow. Maybe these would have helped you, Past Me. Or maybe we had to learn them the hard way. Either way, I can’t wait to see what you add (and what you get rid of)...

Dear Past Me, You will Survive and Thrive

You knew you didn’t like leg hair from the first downy patch. It’s all part of growing up so you just learn to live with it. You can just never wear shorts ever again, right? You hang around after school with some real good friends, most of whom are girls. You go to the harbor...

Dear Past Me, don’t worry about your boobs

I am writing to offer you reassurance. Even age twelve, you knew your own mind, and you were sure that large breasts were not something you wanted. I can assure you that age eighteen, they remain the size of mandarins or Madeleine cakes, and that you find this a completely ideal and comfortable size for them to be...

Dear Past Me, do what you want with your body hair

You and your friends (all self-identifying women) were off to meet some boys in your year at school in the park. However, you all suddenly stopped and realised that it was hot, you were in shorts and your leg hair was visible. So you all decided you shouldn’t go.

Dear Past Me, focus on the small stuff

‘Focus on the small stuff’ has almost become a cliche. It’s the mantra of every self-help coach, the driving concept behind many successful books and the topic of copious podcasts. You’ve probably heard it from a well-intentioned older relative. Yet despite the overexposure and seemingly obviousness of this phrase, it was probably one of the...
