Letter to Yourself by Charlotte

In letters to ourselves we discover who we are and what we value. Throughout the years of childhood and schooling, I have written many letters to myself as homework assignments or for my own enjoyment. In each of the letters, I see my own values and opinions literally spelled out before me. It is impossible to deny who I am in these letters. It is impossible to deny that I cherish family and faith, honesty and humility, comedy and camaraderie because these themes litter each and every letter I have written. While they may be hidden in the superfluous happenings of my life, like what TV show was my favorite and which teacher gave too much homework, each letter holds the true essence of me. Life is full of distractions and it is too easy to lose your sense of self, too easy to allow what you treasure most to fall by the wayside as you continue down the road of life. A letter to yourself can help you find you, for the first time or for the fortieth time. It is personal and beautiful and well worth the time.

Dear Self,

I found you again.

Much Love,

Self
