OMG! I just saw an excercise that was soo cool that I just HAD to come and do it…
It’s an appreciation game… Maybe you should try it to raise your vibration…
Conversation with your 15 year old SELF…
Imagine you can float into your past in order step into the dreams of your 15 year old self. Your task is to tell her (Or him) about all of the amazing things that will happen later in life. What would that conversation be like?
~cue dreamy music~
Big Tee: ~whispering~ Hey girl….
Lil Tee: Huh? Who is that? MAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Big Tee: Shh… Be quiet girl. Mama is sleepin and Teenie can’t hear me. No one can but you…
Lil Tee: HELP!!!!
Big Tee: Shh…Calm down. Listen you’re dreaming and I came to talk to you.
Lil Tee: Who are you?
Big Tee: I’m from the future.
Lil Tee: LOL! Yeah right!
Big Tee: For real. I’m YOU…when you’re 30.
Lil Tee: You’re ME…when I turn 30? For real? Where are you? I can’t see you.
Big Tee: It doesnt matter. Just listen.
Lil Tee: OK.
Big Tee: Girl…I know you’re in 10th grade and all and you’re wondering about a lot of things but let me tell you….you have a GREAT life ahead of you!
Lil Tee: For real? I’m so scared. There’s so much I want to do and I don’t know how to get there…
Big Tee: I know…I was like that for a long time and honestly…its gonna take YEARS for you to get out of the fear of the future but lemme tell you…it’s a great ride!
Lil Tee: Um…Am I gonna go to college?
Big Tee: YES GIRL! You’re gonna get into UF and you’re gonna have so much fun that you’ll fail a couple classes!
Lil Tee: Oh no!
Big Tee: Don’t worry…You get things back on track after you have two kids.
Lil Tee: TWO KIDS!!! With who?
Big Tee: This man you meet at UF. He’s not good for you and you know it but you hang in there anyway and have his kids. But they’re so wonderful that you re grateful everyday that you met their father.
Lil Tee: Who is he? Is he fine?
Big Tee: Um…it doesnt matter. And yes…you think he’s very handsome.
Lil Tee: Does he love me? I always wondered if anyone would ever love me.
Big Tee: Yes. He does. But not as well as you deserve. And you move on…
Lil Tee: Hmm…What do I look like?
Big Tee: You’re fine as hell. You have an afro. Your body is in great shape and everyone keeps asking you if you model and you laugh because you’re an intellectual.
Lil Tee: Do I graduate college?
Big Tee: Yes you do! And you even go on to grad school to become a therapist.
Lil Tee: A therapist?!! Wow..for real?
Big Tee: Yeah man…you should see you now….learning and loving life everyday. You’ve learned how to be happy all the time and it’s an amazing life!
Lil Tee: What about Tamara and Anna? Are we still best friends?
Big Tee: You talk to Anna every once in a while but you and Tamara still talk EVERY DAY! LOL
Lil Tee: Good. I love her. She’s my friend.
Big Tee: She’s gonna stay your friend forever too.
Lil Tee: What else good happens?
Big Tee: Well…you become a journalist for real and get paid to write articles and travel and you work for a magazine and then a newspaper and then a website.
Lil Tee: ~crying~ I knew it! I knew I was meant to write…
Big Tee: Hold on Tee. Your writing is so amazing that it touches people at their core and helps them to love themselves. You meet so many people. You even have fans!
Lil Tee: Fans? Wow. Thats crazy. Umm…what about Mama? Is she ok?
Big Tee; Everybody is fine. Mama lives in a house now. She bought it herself.
Lil Tee: So you’re saying everything works out fine for me?
Big Tee: Yes..but along the way you’re gonna go through so many changes that by 30 you won’t recognize yourself. Everything is gonna seem so rough…until you figure out how to be happy and you make the decision to live that way.
Lil Tee: Can you teach me how to do that now? You know..be happy. I cry all the time and I kinda hate myself right now.
Big Tee: I know…but that’s because you feel like Mama doesn’t love you. She does. In her own way. And you learn that later and you and her become friends. I can’t teach you how to be happy because you have to discover that for yourself. Besides…you’re not gonna remember this conversation when you wake up. You’ll just have this feeling that…~singing~ Every little thing is gonna be alright.
Lil Tee: WHo sings that?
Big Tee: LOL! You’ll discover Bob Marley later. You are so amazing and brilliant and before anyone else notices it…you will. I love you Tee. It’s gonna be alright girl. Just hold on. Its one adventure after another….
