Future Self

                            

I want you to be different than yourself now, but not the same as everyone else you see. Tell yourself to be better, but not because you want to be better than someone else. Mold into your own shape. but not in the same mold everyone else uses to grow. Aim in the direction that your path follows, but not what your friends follow. Allow your self to have setbacks but do not be scared of what set you back in the first place. See the same goal that I have today, but not in the same spot that I am looking at it from now.

I want to recognize you, but not feel as if I am looking in a mirror once again. I know you will be humble, but not crumble under the pressure that your past self has put on you. You will thrive at your own pace as a winner of your own race, but not win to gain glory or fame.

I will see you, but not physically or in present time. In that time you will exceed what i have dreamed for years. But do not forget me because I am where you started and the voice of encouragement in your ears.
