Dear Self,
By the time that you are supposed to read this, I assume that you might be very busy. You might be going through a tough time or you might be coming from a straight duty from the hospital or you just got home from a tiring day completing stocks for your own business or you're resting from an intensive review for an upcoming exam for another degree, you might also be in a serious thought of preparing for a lecture or a presentation, you might just have closed a deal somewhere or more often than not, you just got home from a family gathering, a solo traveling experience or a hangout with friends. Whatever it is, that is keeping you busy, I wanted to give you a tap at the back and tell you that your 23 years old self is proud of you and the things that you have gone through.
Your journey was never easy but you are blessed with wonderful parents who were supporting you all the way. It is by now, that I knew that you have learned lot of life lessons the hard way, you might have lose and gain some things as well as people in your life but at the end of the day, the important thing is that you have learned and you're half way there into becoming a better version of yourself. It was also five years ago that life proved to you that Dad was right when he told you that the only person that you can trust is yourself. You're patience and trust has been tested for so many times but still, I wanted you not to lose faith in people.
It was also five years ago that you were having a quarter life crisis, you kept on questioning if you are taking the right path and making the right decisions.You keep on struggling to make things work according to your plans but still everything doesn't seem to be that fine. And by now, I believe that you already have known the answers because you were given that time to ponder and work harder for what you think you deserve. You might not have found yet what truly makes you a better version of yourself but I wanted you to keep going, keep going until you are in the pedestal of having what you wanted in life. It will only take you a little more patience, a little more struggle and a little more moving forward to have the right time to have things fall into its proper places and have your goals within your reach but still, you must always remember to keep your feet on the ground.
Moreover, the right person, might not also be in sight yet. But I know, you have always been the person who can make anything without depending on other people. It was most of the time that you are happy because you are genuinely happy with your family, friends and what you keep on doing. It will take you a long time to have someone to hold to at life's different seasons and it may possibly take a little longer but I promise and I knew for a fact, that someone will come, someone will be there to change the game. Again, it will only take you a little more patience and a little more moving forward.
Looking at you through a mirror after five years would surely make me shed a tear because I knew that everything would really be different in a positive way. You've become the person that I always wanted to be despite the flaws and imperfections, I can see through you that you were the person that have become a lot more stronger, wiser and better than what I am today.
Just always remember, continue to move forward and chase the landscape that you wanted your life to be and one day, you'll be surprised having the right time, right person and right circumstances falling into its proper places accordingly.
