I met my younger self at Coffee

(Just because I like this trend, it makes you think deeply about your past and future).

I met my younger self at Coffee today.

She was right on time, and so was I.

We both laughed at the fact that we had decided to meet at Coffee when we don’t even take coffee.

We ordered drinks instead.

She told me how difficult it had been preparing for three important exams that would determine her admission. She was scared she might not pass. I told her to stay calm, that she got the admission and even graduated very well from school.

She worried about how hard it was to make friends. I told her not to stress about that.

She went on and on about her studies. I told her it’s not too early to think about love.

We sat in silence. She was scared of how much the future held, and I couldn’t move on without acknowledging that she existed.

She was reserved and self-aware about all her insecurities. I told her jokes to loosen up.

I met my younger self at Coffee, and she was too scared to actually talk.

We hugged, and I told her never to forget to love herself, that everything would be just fine.

I hope we meet again.
