The letter I never knew I wanted!

Nothing is more beautiful than acknowledging that how those little things are not so little.

Nothing is more beautiful than that smile appears just a moment before you fall asleep, realizing finally someone smiled today because of you.

Even those crawling steps you take for yourself are now looking towards you like a proud mother.

And finally you have that courage to face rejections and failures that comes to your way, and now those hands holding something better than you doesn't set your heart with insecurities.

In fact, now you nurture yourself with endless lessons.

Maybe, sometimes days are spent doubting yourself,

Or complaints about the colors you have in your life.

But the nights tells a beautiful story of all those stitches you drew, eventually creating a happy ending of the day.

I saw you, when you used to give a smile confirming that they were right when they said "you have an ugly smile..." and sometimes a question "who said you are beautiful?" that were enough to break your confidence...

But in the end, I saw you ending up with smiling in fact laughing exactly the same way, your heart wanted to.

So on that note,

Dear younger self,

I know you are holding many worries and harsh feelings,

But i assure you from the exact place you are soon going to belong, that...

'YOU are at a safer place and undoubtedly breathing a beautiful phase...'

That's you in the future!

❤❤
