I'm searching for that long ago
When joy and youth was mine
My once upon a time
Memories I will never forgo
Reflecting,
I find different perspectives..
In the my worst and best days..
I don't need to know what the future's saying..
My hindsight says.
Because, if the past could talk it would give me these directives.

love yourself more
Believe in yourself to the core.

Stop trying to make everyone else happy.
You're not a puppy.

Eliminate toxic people from your life
They are particularly rife.

Where  passion, purpose and skill collides
Abundant bliss resides.

You are good enough!
Don't be afraid to voice out. Be tough!

Don't shy away from things that brings you out of your comfort zone.
You're not a lone.
Think rationally.. don't let your emotions
Control your decisions.
Never give into a bully.
Don't be  cully.
You're allowed to feel
But, if in the process you break..
Don't be an emotional wreck
You ...All by Yourself can heal
Thank you for teaching me to Keep my head held high
And the readiness to face any challenge that comes nigh
