dear me

dear past me,
You're lucky to have such an amazing family who will always love you even after all those stupid careless things you've done. You've met so many people and you've made so many amazing best friends who will always keep your feet on the ground. You've been through so much. You've endured so much pain and sorrow. You've fought all your demons and fears. You've experienced heartbreaks and separations and you've cried so many tears and yet you never gave up. I know you felt like giving up, you felt like you are nothing and there is no hope for you. But still, you found the light in the darkness. You found that hope you've been searching for. You found the meaning of life. You finally realized that life goes on and everything will be alright in the end. Dear past me, thank you. Thank you so much for not giving up. Thank you so much for making me who I am today. Thank you so much for the lessons. Thank you.

dear future me,
I hope you've learned from your previous mistakes. I hope you've learned that life is not easy and you have to keep fighting to survive this world. I hope you've learned that people will come and go, that some people are not meant to stay forever. I hope you've learned not to depend on others, I hope you've learned that sometimes, you only have yourself to depend on. I hope you remember all the people who had been there for you through every up and down and I hope you will not take them for granted. I hope you can accept the fact that you can't do everything right and people will always judge and I hope people's judgments will not break you down. I hope you've learned that you cannot trust everyone so easily, please stop being so gullible. I want you to be stronger. I want you to be a master of your own world, but you have to know that you cannot control everything. You're allowed to make mistakes because people do that all the time. Please take every chance that life throws at you. Don't be afraid to get hurt because you've been there before and it didn't kill you. And please, please, please be happy, because you deserve it. After everything you've gone through in your past, you fucking deserve to be happy. Please be happy, I'm begging you.
