How you doing little one. I know all your toys are your best friends and
you’re certain that no matter what happens in the future, you’ll always be
together. But I think it’s best that you know now that things are never ‘forever’.
This doesn’t mean just toys though. This also means everything in general, like
your likes and dislikes will always change and you should learn to accept that.
Change is just a part of life and it’s not necessarily a bad thing. But if you
choose to be stubborn now and believe firmly that everything will stay
wonderful and perfect forever, you will just get hurt even deeper in the future
when you look back into your past. As your older self, I’ve learned the hard
way that life isn’t afraid to surprise you and you need to be prepared for
whatever that comes your way. You need to be open to the idea of growing up, which
means no more talking to toys and no more ‘best friends forever’. I mean, I’m
not trying to destroy childhood. It’s okay to think that some things are
forever but I’m warning you that don’t go overboard with it. Well, my point has
been made. I hope you take in this advice and continue living a great life.
Yours Sincerely,
Your Older Self
