Being 20

Dear 20 year old me,

Bear with number two in front of your age will lead you to overcome the roller coaster ride you've been through.

Every smile, every mile you will get through must be a lesson. Enjoy.

The past is not a barrier, but a stepping stone to the future.

Be ready for everything you will face or you will miss the boat.

Battling with your ego, facing your fear, will never be the same as when you were a teenage girl.

Don't let the negativity ruin your beautiful mind and soul.

Spread kindness to anyone you met, be humble, and be brave since you've handled a lion, within yourself.

Be happy.

Place in your mind, words from your favorite author of your favorite book, The Witches, since you were a child until now on:

For every shed of your tears on your pillow in the midnight, don't regret it. Make them count, with a touch of faith, make your tears be pearls. That you wake up every morning, you convinced yourself to override your insecurity and accentuate your confidence. 

That no one will be you, except you. 

For every moment and memory you keep in your head, embrace it. Don't ever forget it. Pictures, sounds, smell, movement, every bit of happiness and sadness. That it will keep you alive and help you to find yourself when you feel like you've been missing for all the time. 

Dear Gendis, whatever number you have as an age, 

Love yourself.
