Write a letter to your 100-year-old self.

Today’s writing prompt is to write a letter to my 100-year-old self. My mind immediately envisions me…peaceful as I look beyond the serene. What would I say to myself? I believe it would go something like this…

100 year old self

Hey You,

I bet you have many interesting stories to tell. Picturing you living life on your terms, I will never give up on you.

Turbulent’s waves and rapid configurations swallow to egos of today’s world. Knowing that life is the journey, not the destination, I carry on.

This road was not straightforward, there have been many twists and turns. Witnessing life’s wonder and beauty in the dark, I set my intentions on the light.

Now, 100 years have passed on this planet. Go, enjoy your peace. Continue spreading love and sharing your stories with the world. Everything was all for this moment.
