I met my younger self for a coffee today 

or should I say.. tea?

I forgot that she was still not into drinking coffee. She prefers mugi cha, oolong or matcha.

She looks so happy but we both know she’s troubled with anxiety.. What could the future be? 

She’s wearing a Japanese Medium size clothes and she still feels fat.. My 10 years later self thought “What was she thinking?” 🤣

“Who are these 3 tiny kids?” she asked. “Our sons,” I answered beaming with pride and glee. Aren’t they the cutest? 🥹

“Are you happy now?” she asked the scariest question of all. “I’m much happier now but sometimes, I still feel lost,” I answered with honesty.

“I saw you 10 years ago happy and content,” I told her but why am I feeling senseless all over again? I thought to myself. 

“You know what..” I said. “When I had kids, I started dreaming again.. of EVEN BIGGER DREAMS that made me feel afraid again because now, I’m dreaming for the future of my children.” 

“I want to give them not only the BEST that this life has to offer but also EVERYTHING that we could only wish for.” 

“I’m sure you can do it. You’ve always done it before when you wished to.”

We hugged tight and I thanked her. Just what I needed right now. ☺️

I hope we meet for coffee again soon.
