Letter to my 5-years-ago-self

To me, 

You're confused, I know. You don't know what's ahead of you even people almost always hint it for you. You don’t think you’re the best and let me tell you that that’s right! You are never the best. Maybe in your batch but in reality, outside, you’re definitely not.
This is not to say you’re not good. You are good, but please do better. you’d need it, believe me. You got to do more as early as you read this. But I know you believe that ‘it’s your life, your choice, your decision, your loss, and your gain.’ You are right. Your life will absolutely become what you make it. Let me take this opportunity to advise you these things:

-         You soon will love someone you never thought you would, but you will anyway. Don’t fuck that up.
-         You soon will leave your friends and family, but that’s okay because it would be worth it!
-         Try to choose yourself first over anything. Please.
-         “Good thoughts, good words, good deeds.” (From the movie Bohemian Rhapsody. Yeah! There will be a biopic film!)
-         Enjoy your youth.
-         Take risks, you’re going to have regrets anyway.

Carpe diem

From me,

-R
