Hello my 27 years old self,

                    How's is life? Are you married? Do you have kids?..No ..no you are very young yet..You have probably an apartment with your boyfriend in Cyprus, living the life you always wanted.So, today 9/05/20 I decided to write you a special letter. To be quite honest it's really hard and a bit strange to drop a line to my own, future self. I hope you and your family  have your health!

                You have probably finished your studies, masters and you have started your own private afternoon school. I'm sure you studied what you liked, you have finished your main degree of teaching and you have made a master in psychology and a course in ballet teaching. I can imagine you now smiling to your students,giving them all your love, supporting them and teaching them how to treat life. You have always wanted to communicate all your experiences and knowledge to the young generation, but  you  were afraid how you would control it. I am sure you have found the way and managed to make them love you, listen you and follow your steps for as much as possible  perfect life without racism, bullying and hatred. You like to make a difference in the world and break the stereotypes. You are a teacher,  but i am 100% sure you have changed the way a teacher should be. You said that kids should learn how to live life, to enjoy it without any exaggerations, this is the work of an educator. Of course math and Greek are really important for the right education of kids, but students have forgot how to behave properly.I know you wanted to open up their eyes and minds for a better, peaceful world, without having to get drugs to have fun and enjoy things. A good and experience educator should teach their students the meaning of life. I hope you enjoy your job and make what you like!

                How about your fears???Did you face them? You were afraid of many things...did you manage to overcome them? I hope you did because you have lost many extreme activities and experiences you should did. All people have fears but the important thing is to be strong enough and find ways to face them calmly. I am sure you worked hard on that! Have you became more spontaneous? Oh, I know you overthink a lotttttttt, but I wish you control it properly. Overthinking caused  you a lot of stress and this didn't allow you to enjoy special moments. You always wanted your work to be perfect, however this affected your mood and feelings, since it made you feel anxious.

         As for about your travels!? Did you manage to travel in all these countries you had on your list?? Pictures come to my mind right now...posing with an elephant in Africa...kissing a penguin in the North Pole... Hugging black kids in Asia...Dancing with you boyfriend under the lights of Eiffel tower.. Sunbathing in Hawaii...Swimming in the seas of Miami...Going on a tour with camels in the desert...Singing Christmas songs beside big Ben...Observing the palaces in Austria.. Dancing buchata in the middle of Sharm el sheikh... Wandering in the woods of Sweden...Gazing up at the huge skyscrapers in America... Having a boat trip with gondoles in Venice and shaking with the rhythm of carnival songs in Brazilian!Am I right?? 

          I love you  big girl. Don't ever forget that! I like you just the way you are! Don't allow anyone to change the way you behave and think. You are perfect no-matter what are the circumstances. Everyone has their ups and downs!Life is unexpected, full of surprises, the important thing is to  stay strong, see the good in everything and continue live the rest of your life! Goodbye my future self.. 

                       Lots of kisses, 

your 17 years old self
