A Letter To My 27 Year Old Self

Hello, blog! 

Today is my 27 birthday. There are so many thoughts and feelings that come to me in this special day. For me, my birthday is a time when I remind myself about how much I have to be grateful for. It is a day where I think about the good I have been given. With this, I have written a letter for myself, derived from everyone greetings/wishes. You are all my inspiration! Hahaha

Dear Husna,

You are not old. I can see that you feel worried that life is passing you by — that everyone from back home are settling down, having kids and getting married, but come on, you are young! You met people on the road who are 10 years older than you, single and having the best time of their life, right? Don´t get pressured by the society´s stereotype. Age is just a number and this is not midlife crisis. Believe me, you are very young! You have been hurt in the past, felt like abused by giving too much and met negative people along the way but do not stop loving and seeing the good in people. One day, you will get what is due for you but until that time comes, do not raise your expectations but do what you feel is right. Whatever you do, keep writing. Do not you realize that this is one of the things that make you sane? It makes you feel good, in fact, it makes you feel alive so keep doing it. 

When you are right, everything will be right. The right person will come, the right places will emerge and you will attract all the positive opportunities that the world has to offer. Take care of yourself and be responsible with your life. You are 27 and not 17! Slow down — eat at the right pace and savour the food in your mouth; look at everything beautiful (and ugly) while you are walking; avoid looking at your watch while waiting for people in a cafe/restaurant. They will come when they will come; best of all, read a book without hurrying on the pages so that you will understand it better. It is not about how many books you have read. It is about how you understood it. Make peace with yourself. You will make mistakes but you need to forgive and accept it. You can do this by spiritually connecting with your self more. Have some quiet time. Listen to what your heart is saying but be logical too.

Before eating and loving, pray. There is no other powerful connection in this world than getting in touch with the Higher Being. Talk, ask nicely, seek for guidance. Along with this, do not lose your relationship with the Universe. As long as you are not craving obsessively, you will get what you want from them, one step at a time. Remember what The Beatles told you? "There will be an answer so let it be".

Self care is important. Eat healthy, sleep early and drink lots of water. Never announce that you will be on a diet or a killer exercise if you did not mean it. Continue dancing with the waves, going for swimming, have so me time and most of all, do not forget how relaxing has always helped you have a sound mind and body. Always be grateful because you have all the reasons to be. There are more people fighting a harder battle than you. However, this does not give you the right to feel okay through the suffering of others. Relax, appreciate and always tell yourself that life is beautiful. When you feel lonely, cross your arms close to your blossom and hug yourself. You will feel very good, you will see.

Lastly, be beautiful, feel beautiful.

Brace yourself. Life at 27 is a beginning of something wonderful. 

Love,
Husna
