My Dearest Little One,
Wishing you a very Happy New Year and Happy Days ahead. Hey, don't be surprised. Yeah, you are right, it's true that I am you... but only a little older and a bit grown up. I know you must be feeling a bit sombre, lonely and unsettled right now but I wanna tell you that your future is full of smiles and happiness, even if it always isn't. So please, don't cry, just be happy always. Time changes in cycles. So don't worry.
I want to tell you that be careful of who you fall in love with. Love works in strange ways. I wish I could teach you how to fall in love and if heart-broken, how not to feel being dead. But trust me, it becomes alright with time. Look at me. But yes, the remnants of old memories may remain and at times, they may come to haunt you when you would be sitting calm, alone. But believe me, it will be fine.
Just try to be brave.
Most important of all, love Papa, Mummy and Bhai with all of your heart. And I want you to tell Mummy that she means a lot to us and we love her the most. She is going to leave us forever later on, but she is our first real friend we made in this miserable place. She really trusts us so much and I have kept a few untold secrets from her, I am feeling guilty of that. I feel so dumb, I have made so many mistakes, that's why I am telling you all this, maybe you can fix this.
Live life to the best, be happy always and please don't bottle yourself up. Believe me, it's harder than it seems to open up again. But you should keep on trying. Don't try to fit in with the crowd. I think we are better off being the crazy and random person that we are, even if I only behave that way with just our friends and family now. But don't be afraid to reach out and get new friends.
Okay?
And don't be afraid.. don't be afraid to cry at night. At times you need to cry to feel light. I haven't cried lately, but have gotten pretty close.
Remember though, anyone knowing too much about your future is usually bad. So remember this letter and keep it a secret... it's only between you and me. You are probably thinking right now "Is this really me in the future?" My answer, little one, is "yes" Trust me.
Yours forever,
The grown up kid you will know later on
P.S. Remember to be yourself and no one else!
