For me, 7 years ago - Blog

This is a letter for me, 7 years ago, when I just graduated from high school...

Congratulations!
You've passed high school. I know, you feel like you don't get much from it. I know you feel like you don't deserve it and you might feel that you've cheated life or something... But, well, here you are! Going to leave your school soon. Just forget about those sad feelings for a while and try to look ahead.

You've done a good job. You've made some good friends from your class who later will never forget you. It's because you're genuine so they like you. I'm sure of that.
Forget about your crush and that fail love story, you'll meet someone special later who are willing to accept you as who you are. No need to hurry. Just believe that she's waiting patiently for you, so are the happiness and good adventure for you two. 

Your parents, also, they have no other options to be always proud of you. Look at you, you're a good son after all! Don't compare yourself to other people. You're playing your role well in your own story. That's what important the most.

You have several dreams.
I hate to break it to you that some of them won't go that well. But it's okay! You shouldn't stop dreaming. Failure shouldn't stop you. Because when you stop dreaming, there will be nothing to come true. We need you to dream big! Dream much! We love you doing that because it's really satisfying when you miraculously achieve them one by one. Don't let your friends or society dictate what you should do. Be your own boss! Write your own story, you're the author!

I wanna ask you some simple questions...
What's important in life?
What do you value the most?
Is it art? Is it a friendship? Is it love? Is it passion? Is it humanity? Is it yourself? Go come out there and figure that out. I wonder what will be your conclusion. Never be afraid of anything, except God. God will always love you tho, so make sure so do you.

Life hurts sometimes. It's painful. It's frustrating and at some points, you will feel like you're stuck and have nowhere to go. But you know that it will be temporary. Rainbow comes after the storm. A sword gets stronger after being forged. Be strong, be strong, be strong. Don't be strong for yourself. Be strong for people around you. Be strong because they need you.

It's okay to lose but you don't have to quit.

You...
A really nice kid. From the bottom of my heart, I will always proud of you. Never feel so low about yourself, man! You're my favorite person in the world and nothing's gonna change that.

Be slowly... Catch your dreams... Enjoy your life... Love your friends... 
Never feel burdened by anything. Just be free and follow your heart. Be happy, man!

I wish you happy. You should...
