"And above all, be brave. I know you can do this. I believe in you."

Dear 2018 me, you are still a blank slate, a collection of days not yet trodden, so let's make it right this time, Learn to cherish each moments. Take time to breathe and look at the things around you. Appreciate. Appreciate. Appreciate. Be grateful. You are more now than you are 5 or 10 years ago. Heck, you are more than now than I am. So please, please, don't hurry in life. Keep footsteps steady, you may find one day that you seem to be moving slowly, and that's okay, as long as you keep moving foward. You may stumble and fall along the way, and that's alright too, I have so much bruises and scars already on my knees and heart, and every time I still try to get back up again. Sometimes I had stayed too long on the ground, and I want to tell you that it's alright too. Take your time this coming year please. Appreciate life. No rushing forward. Forward is forward. One step is still a step as long as you keep your eyes on the goal. Create goals. Choose happiness. Make happiness one of your goals. And I know you still have that inner compass in you, that inner knowing that makes you know which part to take. Listen to it. Always. It never fails. And please, please know that I am here for you, your past selves, all of us, an accumulation and amalgam of years and experiences, a collection of moments and little joys and sadness, we're here and we're still here, making up who you are today, and who you will be this 2018. And above all, be brave. I know you can do this. I believe in you.
