Dear Past Self
A letter to my past self acknowledging the old and welcoming this new and refined version of life
We’ve been through it all fr. — the highs, the lows, the moments of growth no one saw. Taking a step back from social media for almost 3 years gave me the space to heal, explore, rewrite my story, and let go of the versions of me that no longer align with my current path.
Coming back after a while away feels like an uphill battle in a way. Even if yes I built the foundation and I’m proud of that but going from privacy and being out the way to now showing up online and being back in the “limelight, not going to lie it has been a process I’m relearning to love. Sharing my work and my view with the world lol it’s weird and sometimes uncomfortable. This moment also shows me I am courageous for even trying again. I could’ve gave up, and tried a different path but being able to showcase my journey online again has shown me that I am still bold and I get to share my story to inspire others to do the same.
I get to experiment during this moment that feels “slow.” I get to figure out what I like, What feels right, what doesn’t, what actually resonates with me, and what I have outgrown. It’s a process that is teaching me patience, listening to my own voice, and reverting back to little Aida and what she enjoyed doing.
This is my moment of just being. No expectations. Just me.
I’m excited to fully show up in a way that’s authentic to me and get back to doing what I love: creating and self-expression.
Past self, thank you for showing up despite the anxiety, uncertainty, the self-doubt and I will not let you down. <3
