27th ♥

Dear 27 year old Me,

First of all, Happy Birthday to you! 
You have earned yet another year to either screw up or make it! 
But in all honesty, I really couldn't care less which of the 2 you do. Because either way, you always come out better and stronger. 

I know you sometimes question yourself if you are ever worthy of the love and affection that both your family and peers are showing you. You think the worst of yourself sometimes. You are scared to come real close to anyone thinking that you may never get appreciated. You love the spotlight - but only for a good 3 minutes and you wish the world would just cave in and swallow you whole because having more than 3 minutes of their attention makes you feel barenaked. You are a mixture of fire and ice, an almost perfect combination of passion and nonchalance. Yet despite your uncertainties, you still get to see the good side of everyone - even to those who have deserted and pained you. You have learned to let go, to sail away and pirouhette with your everyday dreams thinking that life is never a bed of roses, but a road that must be travelled with arms wide open! You value Thank You's and I'm Sorry's. You hold on to promises. You believe in happily ever after. And you love despite being hurt. You simply don't give up.

It may take longer for everything to come into place. It may still take time for you to come around certain things and certain people. And that's okay. 

Never let a single frustration hold you back. You know better than to be bullied by the different degrees of absurdities that might be thrown your way. You are a vision. Be that vision. Always remember that you get to live your life just once. And the best things in life don't have repeats. So live while you're in it. Embrace the odds and appreciate the good! You are more than what you think. Be your own shining star! And always remember that I love you. Not because I know you, but because I am you.
