I enjoyed this, Mansi. Thanks for this compilation. Very insightful and refreshing contributions. Also love your inclusion of last year's wisdom. I'll certainly be coming back to these. Happy birthday, once again!
This is so interesting because we often think of what advice our current selves would give our younger selves if we could share, but we don't often hear people talking about what advice younger us would have for current us. I actually just wrote a post about this that's scheduled to go out next week. I think younger me would tell current me to seek magic and know my power. I was more confident when I was younger. More sure of myself. Some hard life situations contributed to the erosion of my self-esteem. When "visiting" with younger me, I realize I need to let go of stress and trust that everything will be okay. She was so full of trust and was the most optimistic of individuals. I'd like to gain some of that back.
Caitlin, I relate with you so much. I think the world is such a challenging place to navigate and it is easy to lose ourselves in this chaos. You advice is a reminder to hold on to strength and optimism as we age. I love that!
Thank you for contributing. I hope you come back to this post whenever you feel the need to be reminded of this again✨
Mansi this is brilliant! The wisdom in this piece is amazing (thank you so much for including me). I love the idea of having something like this to turn to when you (we) need comfort.
Your opening words about turning to what is familiar when things feel unstable really hit home as that's what I find myself doing over and over but I hadn't really thought about it in that frame before.
I always wondered why I have this habit of revisiting things that used to bring me joy. Over time, I realised that I do this whenever uncertainty looms in my life. I'm so happy to find someone engaging in the same thing when surrounded by uncertainty. It is so comforting💕
It was such a pleasure to contribute to your beautiful Birthday post 🎁 Some beautiful words, wishes, hopes and advice for the future are offered here from some wonderful voices. Thank you so much for sharing this and putting it together for everyone, Happy Birthday dear Mansi 🙏🎈💕
A heartfelt and introspective piece that beautifully blends personal wisdom with collective reflection. Your idea of a digital time capsule is both creative and comforting, offering timeless reminders for navigating life’s uncertainties. It’s an inspiring read that encourages self-connection, mindfulness, and community. Thank you for the invitation, definitely one I will revisit.
Happy birthday again Mansi!! I’ve been struggling to find my writing flow since starting back in the corporate world, so when I received your message to contribute, it made me smile! Reminds me to keep going with what I’m doing

Thank you so much for contributing Tinashe! I hope that we are reminded of this post when we need it the most in the future.✨
Saved. 😊
Loved this so much
I’d tell myself: live fully, don’t let the days pass you by just existing. Live in the good, bad and not-so great days. This life is yours, seize it.
Love this advice Nabila!
It's so important to 'live', not just exist.✨
Your work truly resonates with me right now. it’s profoundly beautiful and deeply moving.
Thank you Karin🥹
Made my day!
