LETTER TO TEN-YEAR OLD ME.
Hey! I was searching through my gallery and I came across a picture of you smiling so beautifully without a worry in the world. I have really missed you, your always smiling pretty face, energetic and proactive nature. I miss when sleep, food, play and study were the daily agenda. I miss all those good times spent with friends without the fear of gossip and unnecessary hatred. I know you're proud of how brave, bold and intelligent I have grown, even though I'm no longer going to be a doctor and an exceptional writer like you've wanted but I'm sure you're delighted by how much I'm striving to be a renowned engineer and scholar. I want you to know that I'm working so hard to make you proud. Life has not really been easy but I promise I won't let down those days of keen determination and focus. To conclude this letter in a more honest way, I must say I'm so tired right now and I feel like I should come back to being you. I miss those bright, intelligent and playful days. I miss you so much.
Love,
