Letter to older me

 Dear older me,

I hope you still notice the colours in the sky, the chirping of the birds, the beauty that surrounds you.

I hope you remember that all that you see becomes a part of you, and that makes you equally beautiful too.

I hope you remember to be brave. 

I hope you never forget to write.

I hope you remember to forgive yourself, you were not born to be perfect. Your life is more than a race, it's a story. 

I hope you remember to smile in the face of fear. You have no idea the power it will give you. :)

I hope you make someone happier, you learn to be kinder.

I hope you are kind to yourself too. 

I hope you are able to love someone without any expectations.

It's much easier than it sounds.

Dear older me,

I love you. I am much younger, maybe dumb too. I struggle too much then give up too soon. I always feel alone but only thing that keeps me going is that somewhere in future, you are counting on me. You are a good person, always have been. You don't need someone else to recognise it. Most people only see what they want to see, they will appreciate you only when they want to, doesn't make you any less worthy. You can do it. I will work on myself so that I don't disappoint you.
