6 months later...

Today, I was cleaning my room (due to my mothers assumption that there were new species growing under my desk) and came across my summer journal from 2008. In this journal were my thoughts, feelings and emotions from my experiences in 2008 at Outward Bound, Wales and The West Coast Trail. Reading through, some of the entries made me laugh out loud, some of them made me cry and some even made me ashamed of my actions. the summer of '08 will always be the best summer of my childhood though.  At the end of my journal was a letter that I had written to myself during my 24 hour solo at Outward bound. I remember that we were all to write one, then the camp would mail them to us 6months later. The day I got my letter back in the mail was around a year ago. My first thoughts after reading my letter filled with advice, criticism and goals to myself was "Wow Rach, your friggen brutal". In that letter, I wrote about things I liked about myself, things I knew I needed to change and things id have to sacrifice to be the person I yearned to be in the future. It makes me curious thinking about it now, what would you write in a letter to yourself? What would you consider some of your great qualities and some that you really should get rid of? What do you like most about yourself and what would you like to change.
