Standing now, at this time, its only me to be thanked or to be blamed. It was me back then, me now and only me in the future.
If I were to meet my younger self now, I would not blame it for anything. Instead I will be thankful to that stupid girl for not being a good student at school, for getting pale every time she had to face an exam, for choosing art over all her studies... I will thank her for falling for the wrong guy, for loving him to an extent that drained her, for thinking of breaking up when it was not working out, for crying over that decision over and over again after the split, for facing him again after breaking a four years relationship with a smile, for not hating him... And also for making friends with the right people, for always being there for family, for excelling college and making parents proud, for joking around with a broken heart....
I do not want to change a thing in my past self; she was stubborn, she was silly at times, she was fun loving, but most of all she was strong. And all the thing she had done and faced has made up present self. There are no flaws,only lessons in the past and lessons are to learnt from, not rectified.
To my future self I will only say, we have faired well so far by just being ourselves and tomorrow you just have to be yourself and do what is right. Right not only for yourself but also for others; others who matter to you.
I promise you,life will only get tougher. There will be more responsibilities and you might even end up in problems. But I am sure you will find a way out. Then, there will be times when you will feel like giving up but look up and smile and say to yourself, " Maybe, tomorrow is a better day...and I know tomorrow is a better day..."
Remember, there will be happy days too. Days when you will feel you are the queen of the world but even on those days, be certain to smile at strangers to put a smile on their faces. Keep your feet on the ground and always keep your chin up high. Keep smiling as you always do for, " Tomorrow could be the someday that you had been waiting for."
So...
Standing now, at this time, its only me to be thanked. Thanked for many things but mostly for being me.
With Love,
Sanjukta.
