A LETTER TO MYSELF

Dearest self,
Life will always be hard, that's one thing you need
to keep in mind. In order to survive in a world where
life is unfair for everyone, we need to be tougher than
all of the challenges given to us. In times where you
feel like you are incapable of doing things, think about
the purpose of why you’re still fighting in the first
place. Everything you’re doing right now are for your
long-term goals, the future you have always dreamed
for yourself, and a life you wish to have. Remember
that the journey in achieving your goals will not be
easy. Everything must be hard-earned, hence, you will
not achieve everything overnight. Success requires
countless failures. Whenever you feel tired, let yourself
feel those emotions. Your feelings will always be valid
and never let anyone tell you otherwise. Whenever you
feel like everything's too much to handle, rest. You can
always go on with life again once you feel better. Live
your life at your own pace. Avoid comparing your
progress to others and only focus on what will do you
good. Someday, you will look back and realize that
everything you have gone through, may it be the
triumph or the lowest of the lows, will be worth it.
Every second that you spend while being in the
process of reaching your goals in life matters.
