Recently, I had a conversation with a dear friend.

You know those moments when you want to say something nice, you want to help that person in front of you, but you just don't know what to say? It was exactly like this. Frustrating. So I thought a lot about it.

 Well, we can try to look at it from a different perspective right? Time has passed, and you've lived through different experiences since that last version of yourself that you thought was better… So what if we start to think that:

Because, after each life experience, you come out with knowledge that you didn't have before. It's a natural process that makes you more prepared for different new experiences. Even the things that made you feel like a worse version of yourself, teached you how to FEEL better. They showed you more things that you like and don't like, and things that are good for you or not. Doesn't it make sense?

I know it sounds cliché, but life gets so much easier when we start to think that you had to go through what you went through to learn certain things - things that you NEEDED to learn.

So, I don't agree with this idea that a current version of you could be "worse" than the old one. I think - at the very least - that you're stronger and wiser than before. You have more baggage now. And the good thing is: Neither this nor the previous version is the final version of you. It can always get better!

• You will be changing until your last breath. Life is precisely what happens in this change.

Don't focus on going back in time or condemning who you are today. See the possible, and natural evolution. The only natural path is to evolve.

That's what I'd like to have said. But since I completely froze and didn't have an answer - I hope you are reading this now one month after.

Love you,

Micael.
