25 sunrises and sunsets later

We have dreams to achieve, remember? Yet here you are, 25 birthday cakes later, countless of sunrises and sunsets later, still shaken with the thought of letting something go. Still pre-occupying yourself with trivial things. Still impulsively reacting to every hormones in your body. Yet you’ve made it this far.  

If you were a book, I reckon you’d be the one of complicated mess, unintelligibly deep, nonsensically hilarious work. I reckon a handful of people would stop midway to read but there will be a few that treasure. Despite this, there are a few things I hope you’d always remember.

I hope you always hold to your value even when people are pinning you down. I hope you always have the courage to take the risks. I hope you never forget that there is so much more to life than being happy. I hope you let things flow even when it gets uncomfortable. I hope you never forget that you’re a work in progress, so it’s okay to stumble along the way. I hope you realise that it’s okay to let your guard down sometimes, to put your ego aside, to never hold back anymore. I hope you always remember that deep within you is the whole universe expanding the ever small entity you think you are.

I hope you remember that when it gets a little heavy, prayer is the answer. I hope you never forget that it takes a little patience but a lot of faith to navigate through this life. So be patience and never rush the things that will eventually unravel itself. 

I hope you remember that there are mistakes you have yet to learn from, blessings you have yet to appreciate. On days you feel fragile or forgotten, I want you to read this and know that I am immensely proud of you and that I see you, I love you, and I’m rooting for you. I always have, and always will.
