Hey, you! Its been 28 years and now look at you!

Still searching for your purpose, taking chances without knowing repercussions.

You’ve been through a lot. Made lots of mistakes but lived through that.

You’ve wasted money, you’ve wasted time. You didn’t do justice for your crimes.

You made your mother cry.
Don’t you know she’s your only ally?

But im proud of you for not leaving her. She raised you better.

You grew up with a selfish dad. Im not saying sorry, he’s that bad.

He always thought about himself first before you. You lived together but he didn’t get to know YOU.

Your parents always argued. You heard hurtful words, everyday it continued.

They were the ones fighting but their words kept your heart hurting.

You were weak, you were sad, you were hateful, you were bad.
But when he left you felt glad.

You hated socializing, you hid in your room, thinking..

When will I overcome this? Will I be able to live like this?

You skipped classes, you were afraid of your classmates.

You never really knew how to mesh, you try to act friendly ending up in a mess.

But somehow you graduated. All those years you wasted.

Then what do you do? Look for jobs that might get to feed you.

You were so dependent. You wanted to grow you needed to end it.

You went away, worked somewhere, built yourself from there.

You matured, you grew, im proud of you. It was late but you found yourself, you were You.

You were a useless parasite. Now you can soar high as a kite.

You believed in yourself im proud of you. You were stained, just like a tattoo..

But it was a battle scar. It shows you’ve gone so far.

Happy 28th! This is a time where the only thing missing is some kissing.
Im kidding...

You were happy and contented when you wrote this. Life was a mess but its starting to be bliss.

You need to read this after a decade. Reflect on the choices you then made.

I wish you happiness. I wish you health.
I want the best for you. Please live your life to the fullest.

See you in 10 years!
From your 28 year old introvert self.
