Dear Scared Self,
After the long self-isolation and absence from the world being confined with your own insanity, you never thought this day would come, but it did.
I know it was a hard and horrible time for everyone, when a few short weeks turned into months. It took a toll on you and the entire world. But amidst all the chaos and sudden changes that turned your life upside down, you never gave up hope, which you should really be proud of yourself.
You’re a survival and a warrior!
Today, the avalanche ice of fear has melted, and you’re in the clear, standing on top of the mountain.
Now, take a deep breath and inhale the fresh air. Let your spirit glide like wings in the sky, because life is precious as you had seen it. You had witnessed how many lives were vanished in a blink of an eye, how many people cried rivers of tears for the lost souls. You also saw and understood how fragile life can be. Therefore, moving forward, you should enjoy every simple moment you have.
Avoid self-doubts, yet be fearless, and stop debating over unnecessary things anymore. But instead, be adventurous, and embrace everything else that makes you happy.
You’ll never know what tomorrow holds or brings at your doorstep, so enjoy today as much as life allows you to be.
