Dear Germaine,
Hey! What's up? How's 23 years of your life? Pretty good huh! Not so bad, just average! :) Well, for the past 23 years, I saw how you've grown. I saw how you've strived hard to reach your goals. I saw how you've made mistakes. I saw how you've failed. I saw how you've been hurt. I saw how you wished, how you dreamt and how you wanted to be loved. I saw how you've transformed to the person that you are now from being a little girl to a teenager and to a young woman now. I am a witness of all you've been through because I'm you.
For the past 23 years, there were times that I wanted to hate you. I wanted to hate you for being weak, vulnerable, unpredictable, sensitive, fearful, kind and caring. I wanna hate you for being all of these and more. But I can't. Why? Because I'm you. But still, despite of that, I'm still proud of you because you've tried to be the best that you can. You've gone a long way and when I look at you, I'm proud of what you are now!
For the past years, you've been the best and the worst version of yourself. You've done simple things that made a great impact in someone else's life and you've also made a simple mistake that affected someone so bad. You've been this and that. You've been afraid to try and explore the world because you don't trust yourself that you can do it. But inside yourself, you want to give it a try. You're just not that courageous to follow it. I know in time, you'll have that confidence! But on the other side, I love it when you try to be positive and cheerful as possible when life knocks you down because you believe that everything happens for a reason.
Despite of it all, I knew you learned from all of them and somehow, I know.. you grew up.
Now, you're going to be 24 later this year, and life is really getting quite serious no matter how much we deny it. It's like life is growing old also and we can't stop it. Sometimes, we wish it would just slow down because it started to get scary and all we wanted is to have fun. You're going to be another year older and life would probably give you a hard time. If that comes, just stay strong. Don't lose grip because your family and friends will be there for you holding your hand and helping you up. And the best of it all, God will not let you fall. Ever. You know He'll catch and carry you. He'll hug you and take away the pain. Just keep the faith.
Just keep on loving. Show the people you love how you feel because I know that's what you do best. If you get hurt, it's okay to cry but you gotta get back up right on the track and continue loving. But never ever forget to love yourself. And believe that you deserve to be loved. Why? Because I am you and I love you.
I wish you all the happiness. Go out your comfort zone because I believe you can do more than what you have done before. Be not afraid! Try new things. Meet new people. Explore. Laugh as long as you want. Cry when it needs to. Believe. Be the best that you are! Life is good!
Someday, all your prayers, wishes and dreams will be answered and will be yours. Just believe it will happen! God has plans for you. He always gives what's best for you. Just trust His PERFECT TIMELINE!
Be blessed and be a blessing! :)
Love lots,
Me.. You.. Germaine ♥
