A letter to a 28-year-old Me

Dear Adult Me,

What’s up? Life’s been crazy, funny, expected, unexpected& maybe beautiful enough. Despite all the ups and downs, you have managed to wear glitter every day.Isn’t this a success story in itself?  

I assume you’re reading this on an exciting note and that you have been keeping busy. Every day is a fresh episode of distinct experiences, love and laughter. Ten years ago, you were all about the aspirations and dreams you had and wanted to fulfil. And today I am sure that all that you had planned has turned into reality.You are living your dreams.All the puzzle pieces fit together to make the picture complete, all the parts now make senseI hope you have become discreet about things you do.You have more responsibilities to fulfill, bills to pay and you are having a hard time balancing your life.Trust that things will work out and if not, you change the charted course. And Listen out to this - wherever you have reached, whatever you have achieved, remember, there is no final destination. 

Set goals, both lofty and reasonable. Make a life you are obsessed with! Camp in the woods. Build a fire. Have some wine. Stay up late. Climb a mountain.Eat good food cooked from scratch. See live music. Immerse yourself in a good book. Did you go on that much awaited ZNMD trip with your long-lost buddies?If not, what are you waiting for?Life is all about loving and being loved. Trust the ones that make you feel the most you, love them with all your heart and never let them go.Seize the day, my friend. No matter how much you try, you will always miss out on something or the other. Try to enjoy what you have right here, right now, for this is all you have.

Go and step out of your Den!

Lots of love,

Your 18-year-old Self
