My Letter to You

Dear loved one,

Yes, you
You’re loved,
You’re cherished,
You’re in someone else’s wish list,

You know how you sit back and wish…
Wish that you were that lovely girl, with a bouffant hair and that perfect dress… Yeah, someone else sits back and wish they were you, the strong one, one who stands up for themselves’.

‘Or wish that you were that Macho guy, who pimps his ride every now and then. Whom you look at from a distance and wonder how it would feel to be that guy…’
I know you are wondering, “you don’t know me, you don’t know what I’ve done, what I’ve been through…”
And yes,
I don’t know you but this I know everyone you see walking around has been through their share of misfortunes, regrets, wrong choices,

So don’t give up on this life,
That’s what makes us human,
Everyone is beautifully created regardless of their flaws,
Each unique in their own way,

Nobody is perfect,
Everyone is struggling with their own imperfections,
So hold on to this life,
Live freely, don’t beat yourself up,
It’s okay not to be okay,
But don’t bottle it all up,
Share with someone,
Open up to someone,
Don’t let the little mistakes you did eat you up,
Don’t let the few wrong choices you made define you,
Don’t let some people’s opinion define you,
Don’t let regrets consume you.

You’re more than they say you are,
You were made to thrive,
So don’t give up,
There is more to life,
The best is yet to come,
Hold on for a little bit longer,
Though it lingers,
Wait for it,
It will certainly come and will not delay.

Cheer up,
Live your dreams,
Don’t let a little sorrow swallow up your goals and ambitions,
Live today like there is no tomorrow,
Do what makes you come alive,
Dance, smile, laugh, make joyful noise.

Yours sincerely,
Friend-to-be.
