A Letter To My Future Self

I.

How are you?

I wonder if you’re doing fine

Are you still chasing your dreams

With that fiery passion in your eyes?

I wonder if you’ve finally found a part of yourself

But if you haven’t…

Well, it’s okay

Take all the time you need to figure things out.

II.

Always remember

You weren’t made to break

You’ve survived a thousand nights with dimmed lights

And a mind full of monsters

You’ve been through worst days

With dark eyes and trembling hands

With tears and shortness of breath

I hope you’ve learnt to deal with your sadness

And fill up whatever emptiness you have

You’ll be alright

You’ll be alright

III.

Continue to keep the few people close to your heart

Open your doors for them

Tell them your stories

Listen to theirs

Ask them how they’re doing every now and then

The little things matter

They do.

And if you’ve fallen in love

I hope someone’s there to catch you.

IV.

Never forget that

All you need is love

And love is all you need

And empathy is always important.

Finally,

Live.

Don’t just exist.

Love, me.
P.S. I love you. Well, I’m learning to.
