Dear Sweet Sixteen,
I really envy you these days. How innocent you are, how strong your faith is in the goodness of the human nature, how you laugh with gay abandon, how your eyes sparkle when you think about your future. My future. You wait for the coming years with a heart full of hope, of love and longing. Yes, you long for the adventures of the adulthood. When you look forward to your future, you look for the brighter side that life has to offer to you, for your heart is free from any negativity, unlike me.
Study hard girl, for you have miles to go. You will climb high through the ladder of success. Success will be a necessity in your life, for you'll have to shoulder many responsibilities in your grown-up years. So learn to be responsible and matured, for immaturity may cost you dear.
If possible, DON'T SETTLE. That's the single most advice from me to you. Though I know that when it comes to matters of heart, we are all slaves of our hearts. Heartbreaks will be inevitable in love for you, though suffering is optional. Nothing goes wrong than love gone wrong. One single mistake can change your life forever. One advice I want you to etch in your memory: You are very special, very precious, at least to me, if not to anybody else in the world. So please promise me, you'll not allow anybody to belittle you. Always feel free to choose your own happiness over and above everything.
Lastly, try to maintain that innocence of yours as long as possible. I want you to look at the world with the same wonder in your eyes for a whole lifetime. Smile today, for you may not get many reasons to smile tomorrow. It's your life and it's waiting for you with all it's sunshine and rain. Live it in your own way. Live it. Love it.
With love and all the good wishes,
Your 30-something self.
Your 30-something self.
