If I'd Known Then- Part 2

Continuing from the little mini project I started among my friends, here's a letter from one of my girls to herself when she was 16.

In order to protect her privacy, I've agreed to not disclose her identity. 

After all, this is something I started to inspire and motivate anyone who's willing to read. And at the same time, this remains a sort of therapy to all of us within this circle. 

Dear Me,

You were 16 when you found your first love. Sadly, that lasted for ten years only. You were young and silly (very) and you thought that Life will be perfect since you've found your so called soul mate. 

You thought that Life will be good and that all your dreams are in place. Wrong.

In years to come, you will be sacrificing your dreams in order to make way for his. You will end up surrendering a large part of your Life to make his Life perfect. You will eat away at yourself, giving everything that you have to secure what you think is a Life together. 

Silly you, but you didn't see that coming. In all fairness, you were blindsided. 

See, Life can turn upside down in a heartbeat but yet you choose to believe that it's just a hurdle that you could overcome. 

You will learn that God creates the Universe round for a reason...what goes up must come down. Life is an ongoing lesson. The silver lining of course is that Karma is a bitch..

You will soon see that the love of your Life cheated not once but thrice on you. Please don't be a retard and wait for him. Because I did and guess what? Thirteen years of your life wasted for a dream that was never yours to begin with.

Words can be deceiving. Trust me. And when he confesses that he only loved you for what you sacrificed to him, leave. Run as fast as you can and never look back.  

That time will be tough on you. Delusion is what keeps you alive and dying will seem like the best option.

But guess what? Soon your tears will dry up because in time to come you'll know that it's just a story that has been written, a lesson learned.  

Whatever is it, you will learn to be glad that he's out of your Life. You don't need a despicable man. You don't ok?

But I am proud to tell you, that you are stronger than you think you are. Just one thing, that man you keep dreaming of, you know-prince charming? Stop making up names for him, will you? What are you? 6?

Be a fool no more. Regret no more.

Sincerely,

Me

P/S:- Keep your dreams alive. You've come so far! :)
