Dear me,
I have recently turned 18 and I know it’s not been a coon’s
age but I genuinely hope I could’ve a time machine to just come back and
share with you some words of advice. So here I am writing to you from the
hellacious year of 2021…the year of nature’s revenge to human beings!!
To start with, it's needless to say that you are the
best version of yourself and the purest gem anyone could ever find. But why
don’t you start loving yourself a little more as compared to the compassion you
shower on others? And What about you being a people pleaser? Is it going to do
any wonders? Moreover you shouldn’t let anyone’s opinion define you and it's
never too late to change yourself. Just start having faith in yourself. If your
flaws aren’t taking a toll on you…accept them wholeheartedly. It's completely
okay, nobody is perfect over here! Although you are still a kid, you need to
discern the fact that you can’t make everyone happy by hurting yourself.
Moving further let me remind you to cherish each and every moment for now and enjoy these years to the fullest. I really believe that these are the years when you should do everything that you love. Because at the end what matters is not to add years to your life but to add life to your years! Being confident and practical is going to be extremely constructive for the coming years and start believing in your dreams unreservedly. As Theodore Roosevelt says “Believe you can and you’re halfway there.” Anyways there will be challenging times too when you will see the worst part of yourself but rather than breaking down you need to get yourself together. As you know, there is no royal road to anything. One thing at a time, all things in succession. That which grows fast, withers as rapidly. That which grows slowly endures. However, just don’t let your self-doubt act as a hindrance to your happiness. As they say “We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust our sails.” Also many people will come, many will go but this is life all about. After all, you have to let people go. Everyone who is in your life is meant to be in your journey, but not all of them are meant to stay till the end! But trust me there are other few very amazing souls who are going to be with you forever. They will not only make you feel loved but also would be the best companions you would ever have. They will stay true to the fact that a friend in the market is worth more than money in the bank!
However the journey of yours from being an introvert to turning into extrovert has been magnificent and I am so incredibly proud of you. Nevertheless even today it does stand true that difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations. Last but not the least the game changer for all the challenging situations is going to be your utter belief in the saying that “Everyday may not be good but there is something good in every day.
And now to your surprise; your grown up self is still practicing the art of poetry which was however discovered and treasured by this young Ketaki. No doubt the credit goes to you for this, after all it’s one of those constant things that we have even today and for all the coming years!
Be yourself !
However you are always be true,
Whatever you like just do.
With your own rules live your life,
Don’t just make it a routine alike.
Many people will say you fake,
But don’t allow your heart to break.
Have your own opinions and express it too; Only a few might find it true.
To be real is an easy task,
So don’t live with a surreal mask.
