by Lynn WL Writing a letter to your younger or older self is a good and fun exercise that helps remind yourself of the principles of life that you follow and keep you on track on where you want to be in life. So here's mine. Letter to my younger self Hi Lynn, how's it going? This is me... oh wait... should I say this is you? Lol. Either way, I'm your older self. In other words, I'm the 20 year old you. 20 sounds like a long ways away when you're 9 but believe me, time flies. You'll get there before you now it. So are you being a good girl?
