Letter to my Younger Self…

During our final class session, participants are asked to write a letter to their younger selves about what they’ve learned during the program. These letters often focus on forgiveness, reflection, and reminders of the innate resilience within every person.

  • Dear Younger Self, Although I think it would be prudent to write to future me as I can’t change the past…I would like to tell you that I forgive you for every wrong turn, bad decision, for everything that ended us up here. I forgive you. And I don’t regret a thing because every single thing I went through has made me the person I am today. Keep being a happy person that keeps a smile on your face no matter what! And thank you for all I’ve learned, to future me. Love unconditionally–NO conditions on anyone you love, the rest will follow. Love, Me.

  • I’m so grateful for all the new insight I have gained about my thought process. I have learned that I can leave anything at just a thought and even a feeling. I learned that I don’t have to react on every thought, my thoughts will pass. Feeling a lot more aware of this can change my behavior.

  • I like how you all are so, so, so patient and stick to the class objectives and expectations. Thank you for taking time to fit every learning style, level of understanding, and diverse background.

  • Spark has helped me find my spark, as cliche as that may sound. I found healing, inspiration (for self and others), and a future through art; an internal strength and ability that’s natural and unique to myself. I am thankful for the opportunity to be a part of this program and to learn and embrace myself again!

  • To Little Me, Little red rose, only if you knew what you know now, everything would be so different. You would have waited until older to have kids and all the bad stuff I would have turned it to good, and all the over-thinking I could have turned it to positive moments.

  • I have learned in this class that mental static noise has held me back from my true potential. I am teaching myself, because of this class, to not let those negative thoughts “make me”. I am uncovering new character traits and an inner peace that I had once believed were unattainable. I am extremely grateful. My Spark is alive!

  • With this class, I learned that there may be times you lose yourself, but it is important to remember you can always get back to the SPARK within you.
