Patience

This layout was done for the Letter to me Challenge: Use one or more photos of yourself from your teens/early twenties and create a layout that incorporates a letter/words of wisdom that your older self would tell your younger self if you "knew then what you know now."

I think i was about 8 or 9 in this pic but maybe younger i don't remember lol. All my photos of my teenage/early twenties days are halfway across the world so i used this one instead. I was miss goody two shoes when i was growing up, probably because my dad was strict. But if it weren't for him i wouldn't be where i am now. The one thing i have learned throughout the years is that the ability to wait for something without excessive frustration is definitely a valuable character trait. This is why i chose these words of wisdom.
