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

Dear Warrior,

Didn’t you go through some serious things but guess what?, a live well lived is not the absence of problems.

You made it even when you wanted to quit at times. The scars you wear is a symbol of strength and resilience.

The day you made a choice to not compare against anyone but only be better than you were yesterday, was when life truly began to bring peace even in the chaos.

At times you risked it and it paid off by success or by being a life lesson to teach others.

Most of all the things you feared didn’t come true. You maybe feeling frustrated because of wasted mental time and the effects on your body. But you improved each day casting down your cares and worries.

How great when you realised you belong where you choose to belong. No more wasting time in rooms you’re not comfortable in. Saying no became comfortable and yes became a joy.

You value healthy relationships and your mental health is a priority.

Buying all those craft stuff wasn’t so bad look your using it a lot now. All those books well, they’re still keeping your brain active. Who would have thought all those books would have been enough, all these years later….

Anyway you set out what you came to do helping people find their voice, calling and improving the world around them by small contributions. They were no longer stuck and value their lives. Even at 100 your still be pouring into other people helping them even if it’s in the care home 😂.

People now think about the way they use their words to others and themselves. Love is grown again and encouragement.

You didn’t solve homelessness but you did put a dent in it and made a difference to a few lives.

Keep laughing, turn up the volume on music, craft and have boundaries. Read them books because you can’t bring them with you in the next place.

Grateful for the good time and the mistakes they were lessons.

Lots of love,

Chanel
