Dear Me,

You’ve been through lows, you’ve been through highs, and then you’ve been in times when you just didn’t want to try.

You have surprised yourself and you have let yourself down,

You have come a long way but you still have to go a long way now.

You met so many new people and made so many memories along the way,

Some sweet and others bitter but all lessons that will stay.

You should neither be sorry that you are a changed me , nor try to change if you do not want to be a new me.

So to all the me’s that I have been and to all the me’s that I will be, you may change but at the heart you will still be me.

New year’s resolution

The new year is just around the corner,
The festivities have begun.
It’s time to revisit all our unfulfilled resolutions,
and increase their deadline by yet another year.

Pick up that book, get on that flight, learn to play that guitar, or bake that cake right.
Let us not burden this new year with past guilts, let us not wait to begin something new until this year wilts.

Let not our aspirations be defined at the stroke of the midnight,
Let not our goals be defined by the years,
Let’s be true to ourselves this time and not pen down resolutions to which we are never going to return.

This new year, listen to your heart and do whatever feels right to you,
Not because there is a new calendar on the wall, but because you exactly know what’s best for you.
