“The Colors of YOU”

Dear Self, I hope this letter finds you well,

You’ve touch lives of many and you have come out of your shell.

You’ve reached this far and you continue to bloom,

I know you will reach your dreams; you’ll be where you want soon.

Here is a piece of advice I want to give,

This is to show you Life in colors and perspectives.

Life is a series of ups and downs,

The world we live in involves series of rounds.

There are colorful moments but there are also dark days,

These moments give you lessons in a lot of ways.

Remember, our lives is a matter of will and faith,

Whoever we become in the future, depends on the choices we make.

Life is a wonderful and interesting journey,

Take a leap of faith, enjoy and no need to hurry.

You will see the world in hundreds of varied faces,

You’ll see the brilliance and dimness of life in many places.

But let me share with you some words of wisdom,

To prepare you for the richness and hurdles you need to overcome.

Darling, please listen, every shade and every hue,

Represents the beauty and wonders of YOU.

Red symbolizes your flaming courage and bravery,

A person fighting and facing life’s battles endlessly.

You are a warrior, raise your flag and stand tall,

Set your passion ablaze and follow your call

My Dear, O’ dear, don’t you feel weary,

When times get tough, and problems seem too heavy to carry.

Infuse in your journey your passion to succeed,

Glow, grow, follow the flow, and plant the seed.

Nurture it with positivity, determination, and patience,

And you’ll see the value of life and its very essence.

See, Oh! You should see, how bright your future can be,

Be true to yourself, love, and enjoy the journey.

Unleash the fiery and burning will to follow that dream,

No matter how far and impossible it may seem.

YOU are born to shine bright and give light,

Make a difference and let your ideas ignite.

Most people would say that nobody said it was easy,

You should not walk away, and face the challenges of life fearlessly.

In every destination comes bigger and harder decisions,

Follow your heart, think, and journey without hesitations.

You, Yes, YOU…. You are unique and wonderful in every single way,

Show the world what you’ve got... be who you are no matter what they say.

The road of life is indeed a rocky and colorful one,

Too many stopovers, traffic lights… searching for what we want.

There are times we experience hurts and pains,

But there is always a rainbow after the rain.

You are like a very special and unique wine,

That gets better and better through time.

I know there are times you might be down and tired,

Criticisms and judgments may break and left you uninspired.

Shadows of doubt, gloomy days, and dimness of fear,

Seems like nowhere to go and nobody can hear

Bounce back and never stop loving who you are

You are beautiful despite every flaw and every scar.

You’ve surpassed many obstacles and faced your fears,

You’ve journeyed life with joys and tears,

You continue to inspire and touch lives,

You are true to yourself and have nothing to hide,

Kindness is your goal, you have a heart of gold,

You used your voice for a cause, many stories are told.

Remember you are the writer of your own story,

Strong, solid, dedicated, and determined; indeed & truly,

A woman who is standing tall and proud,

A person who is not afraid to be different in a crowd,

A fighter, a seeker, and a believer,

In a kaleidoscope world, you are one of a character.

That is what makes you special and unique,

Your beauty transcends beyond just the physique,

As you look in the blue cloudy sky,

I see your vibrant face with a cry,

You look back to see how far the journey has been,

And how many battles you learn and win.

Dear Self, I hope this letter will remind you,

Keep reaching the stars and continue to pursue.

Keep the faith, aspire and be bold,

Help and show kindness in a hundred of fold.

You are phenomenal, indeed you are,

These are some thoughts, please keep them in your heart.
