When the
struggle is real, we all have our MO. Mine:
Jump in the
car and drive. I don’t know who I’m kidding…this is never really a serious
option for me because I never know where to drive to
and it just seems like a lot of work trying to figure it out.
Listen to
sappy songs that bring back beautiful memories (Squad: Cat Stevens, Frank
Sinatra).
Sit in my
closet and write, because can’t a girl just sit with all of her pretty
things?
In this particular instance, I went with option 3. So there I was, sitting in my coveted corner of the world, journal in hand, paging through old entries when I discovered a little love note...to myself. Here it is, the little dime-piece that I wrote three years ago.

Dear an
older me,
Be calm.
Give your worries to God. Love Him and know he wants the very best for you. He
loves you more than you can ever imagine. (Hi
God, remember me?)
Don’t do
something purely because all of your friends are, probably by now, getting married or having babies. Pursue these beautiful moments on your own timeline.
Don't judge others and live in the moment. Don’t assume your age should correlate with a job title or salary.
Take life
as it comes and let God guide your heart (and don't forget to listen). You know when something
isn’t right.
Love with
all your heart and trust instead of question. You will find love will enlighten
and fulfill you once you let go and let it in.
Let in the
sun of each new day, even if it brings unpleasant moments.
Love, love, and love some more.
Have faith
and believe.
xo, Jacqlyn
Have faith
and believe (even if you have to find it in the corner of your closet).
