An open letter from my 21-year old self

Dearest you,

 

How are you? Are you at the brink of giving everything up right now? Well, don’t worry. I’ll affirm you that I’ve been through that too. I’m here to affirm you that there are so many struggles in life, but let me ask you, where are you, at this point of life, to give up on everything?

 

I’m here to assure you that some people won’t understand what you’re going through. I’m here to assure you that you will be misunderstood several times. I’m here to assure you that there will be times that you will feel alone in this world. But again, I’ve been through that too.

 

You may feel depressed. I’ve been through that too. You know what, I’ve sought so much help from different kinds of people. Took many drugs like anti-depressants and anti-psychotics. It will give you the healing you need but it will only give you the temporary happiness of getting healed by medications.

You may feel like it’s the end because you’re carrying everything on your shoulders and sadly, no one would really like to listen to you. Because that is the reality you’re in right now. That is how you view the world. But I’m here to assure you that everything you feel is normal. Why? Because I’ve been through that too.

 

You might be asking yourself of why I’m assuring you of all the negativity you’re going through. It’s simple. Seeing and accepting the negativity you have in your life is the key to your happiness. You can never truly be happy without going through everything that’s happening with you right now. Learning to love yourself by understanding your entire being will change your perspective on life. Learning to love yourself will be the key to loving the people who don’t understand you. Learning to love yourself will now make you understand that your imperfections that makes you negative will attract the positive will not to give up on everything you’ve invested and worked hard for.

 

You’re not halfway there, neither am I. Let me journey with you on the road of imperfections because the last thing I will assure you is that I’m here for you.

 

Love,
My 21-year old self
