Hi sweetie,
I hope you are in the best state of health and faith. Your life I guess should be prosperous, now and your circumstances should have turned in your favor. By now, I believe you would have become a famous writer and a successful blogger. Along with this, you would still be an amazing mother and a caring wife, fulfilling all your original as well as self-imposed duties with responsibility. You must have learned to effectively manage your time I guess. I hope you are financially independent now, I am sure.
Today I decided to tell you something about the bond between me and you. What you are today is due to my efforts. You might not remember how courageously I dealt with your fears. You had fear of failure, fear of being judged, fear of being taunted, fear of being rejected, and fear of fears. I worked day and night tirelessly to take you out of your comfort zone and face your fears. I spent sleepless nights to boost your confidence; to assure that you can attain your dreams despite the unfavorable circumstance and limited resources.
You were suffering from depression, feeling helplessness and hopelessness. I never give in. I kept on finding nightingales to brighten your surroundings. I burnt lamps one after the other to protect you from the deadly darkness of depression. Finally, the time of dawn came, and the light of the sun reached your way. It cleared the path for you. It made it easy for you to look at your obstacles and find a way to overcome them.
Sweetheart, I know our fears never leave us completely. They reside in us all the time, however, they are not always harmful. If our courage and determination take over them, they slowly diminish. If we stop moving, the fears take over our hopes; they devour our skills and talents leaving us in desperation. Please, never allow these fears to take control of your hopes and passion.
I am glad to see you have learned to love yourself the same way you do to your significant others. Remember, you must always be the most important person for you. Unless you give importance to yourself, no one else is going to understand your worth. It doesn’t mean that you stop giving importance to others. It only means you must not go so far in sacrificing yourself that diminishes your being. In the end, I want to give you some advice. Never give up! Keep on moving with consistency. If you cannot move fast, move at a slower pace; but never stop. You are alive only as long as there is movement; stagnancy is the sign of death. I have worked so hard to turn you into what you are today. I hope you won’t waste my efforts and keep on working to achieve a more prosperous tomorrow. All of us have our shortcomings; never let them overcome you. Always do your best, keep improving, and getting better all the time. Be prudent, your focus on your future should not snatch the happiness of today. Never forget to enjoy the very moment of your life.
Stay happy.
Yours today self.
