Dear Younger me,
Life is just a journey from cradle to grave. The journey of life comes in stages We live from one stage to another. The journey begins the day we were born and ends in the day we bid farewell to this world. What really matters about life is not about how we die but rather about how we lived our life while we are alive.
Everyday we grow older from the stages we were before and that journey brings us closer to our final destination, a permanent home.
Growing Old ain't easy, Everything in life turns out to be fuzzy, there comes a day we'll wake up dizzy and extremely tired from the struggles we faced yesterday. Even though life tends to be hard, we buckle up and start a new day strong. Stronger we faced our tremendous fears, we came up with new ideas, and a way to solve our day long dilemma. As we grow older our problems tend to grow brawny.

Don't let your fears, nightmares and terrors make you weak. Be strong for whatever the situation we may found ourselves in, whenever the storm is over, the sun shine brighter than it was yesterday. A lesson I learnt about growing Old is that,you can't fly the day you're born. You just have to live like a butterfly. You have to follow from stage to stage, sometimes you crawl, gradually you begin to walk, before you know it you fly to achieve your dreams. All it takes is patience and endurance.

Morevoer, growing Old has taught me not to chase after money, chase after wisdom because wisdom yield money but money can never yield wisdom.

Yours Faithfully
