Dear Younger Self

Dear younger self,
Hey! I see you there, somewhere deep down inside. I am that grown up person you always wanted to be. I know you thought that life is a dulcet popsicle of bliss and you relished every single bite of it. Your dreams were like wildfire that couldn't be tamed. You would cringe from darkness and flip light switches to exorcise any potential phantasms. You loved being the cynosure of the eyes of kin. You were an inquisitive soul and your mysteries awaited denouement. So upbeat and ebullient, always gambolling, never jaded.
I just wanted to tell you that life ain't that easy, baby. It's a constant struggle where you wake up everyday to fight a new battle. To be a dreamer is plain sailing but to actually achieve your dreams, you have to endeavour 'cause you can't just fly planes on fantasies and no movie director would ever come to your doorstep to give you a big break.

I know you were innocent, naive, carefree and reckless. But no matter what dear younger self, i wish i was more like you.

Yours
Future you
