Dear Micontingsabit

Who is that girl I see? Oh wait, that's me. I was just looking into the mirror and I see a somehow not-so-beautiful human being. I think it's time to write a letter to myself and reflect or make a wish.

It's my 23rd day or topic for the 30-day Writing Challenge. Seems like this is going to be the most interesting topic for me on this challenge so far.

Listen to this song while reading my article and I hope you'll enjoy it.

Let's take a quick look at the topics again:

I decided to write a letter to myself. I'll write 3 letters to 3 versions of myself, the past, present, and future me.

Dear Past Me,

How are you doing? I hope you're still alive, kicking and rocking every aspect of your life. By the way, this is the present you telling you that you did well in your life. You might think that your life wasn't as great or lucky as the others but you remain to be thankful for the things that life brought you. Thank you for understanding the phrase life is not fair, which led you to people who balanced your life.

I am happy that you were one of the people who do not hold a heavy heart toward other people aside from your parents. Just to let you know, your future husband told me that your father was proud of you in a certain way. You also did a great job in choosing people you let in your life. I greatly commend you for that! You didn't have great emotional support at home but you were able to find people in your life who can fill in so you can be the good and better person you ought to be.

I love you for enjoying your life just the way it should be. You may think that you didn't shine, but you were shining deeply from the inside.

Yours truly,

Present Me

Dear Present Me,

How are you getting by? I know that keeping your sanity is a great challenge when you entered a new chapter in your life. Regrets and what could have been will always be there. Just always try to remember that this is another life. This may not be the life that you exactly thought it would be but you got to be the person that life thought you could be. You may not be the greatest of all things, but you are the greatest thing to someone special in your life.

I love how you treasure a few people in your life. Keep your circle small so you could appreciate little things. Little things matter, all things matter. The matter is anything that occupies space and has mass. Char! See just what you did there? You always try to put a smile on other people's faces, you should try putting a smile on yours too.

I hope that you may still continue finding light at the end of the tunnel as you always did, standing up for what you believe in, and looking forward to better days.

See you soon,

Present Me

Dear Future Me,

I've been so hard on myself lately and just a little advice, you need to keep extra cool from now on. Who knows what we could do or be for the next days, months, or years? Keeping it cool is the key. Patience is a virtue. Things come to those who wait.

I know that it's going to be hard or even harder than it is. Just don't forget that even when you are far away, people who are close to you will still remain by your side. Don't let yourself fade away. Ask for assistance when you need to. Take a little breather when you can't breathe anymore. Don't be the person you hated to be. Your life is not yours now, but there will be a time when you'll get back what you used to be.

You are a sporty person. You are a guitarist. You are a happy person. You are going to be a good mother. You are going to be a good friend to your child/ren. You are going to be a good wife and a best friend to your husband.

Don't let the dark eat you, just eat dark chocolates if you can't handle it anymore. CHAR!

Be brave,

Present Me

I decided to write a letter to the past, present and future me because I needed it. I needed someone to tell me things. I need to validate my feelings. I got used to talking to people close to me about my feelings and they are not here with me, beside me. I know I have my husband with me but I am still on the adjustment stage of being a wife and a mother and for 30years all I have were my friends.

Perhaps, I am just feeling a little homesick? HAHAHAHA, it comes to the package of living with my own family away from the family I used to have.

See ya! Happy September to all!
