Dear me in 5 Years

Hey there. I hope you have been alright.
Things have been alright in your life so far. You’ve experienced untold pain that only another that has faced it can understand. But it is okay, though life beat you down, you still managed to rise.

You have also experienced tremendous happiness, far beyond what you expected to happen within this time. Do you remember? The feeling of holding your degree in your hands. Can you still feel the coarse paper in your hands, the smooth and silky tube that would become its home for the rest of your life?

How about the time you got that practising certificate? Oh man, now that was a cause for celebration! Wearing that black gown, sharp suit and killer heels to match, standing up straight with all the confidence you could muster, you showed what you were; an intelligent young woman struggling to make it in this male-dominant world. You had almost given up, you know. But you remembered the reason you fought so hard for both of them.

The new office smell can be so invigorating so is the scent of a brand new car. A little time had passed before you got your job. The sense of security that no one could take away from you. Work hard, little-lady; there are still a few more steps to climb. Hopefully, by the time you read this, you have achieved that goal...you know which one, hehe.

There is a man who watched you achieve those dreams. He stood by you when you had been cut-off at the knees. He encouraged you to keep on fighting for what you wanted. I hope you listened to your heart and gave that nice young gentleman a chance. That man is gold. Please cherish your children; I hope you remember how mom and dad raised you. With all the love and care in this world, your papa was a wonderful, strong man, a superhero. You have to do your best to be that superhero for them too.

Lastly, remember this at all times, in all stages in life, whatever may come your way; I love you with all my heart.
