A letter to 16 year old me.

Hii Rachana, hope you are doing well. There are somethings I wish I could have told you. But never the less they are your lessons now.

I wish I could have told you - 

1. Don't take life too seriously, its a game with ups and downs. Don't worry too much about the destination, sometimes things are just not in your hand. Only thing you can do is enjoy the beautiful journey.

2. Life is not - "Zindagi ka safar hai ye kaisa safar, koi samjha nahi, koi jana nahi."
Rather it is - "Ude khule aasma me khwabo ke parinde."

3. Don't take tension about really simple things. There is lot more than this in future. Atleast enjoy now.

4. Trust me. Every bloody thing happens for something good. So chill!

5. Being in your teenage obviously you feel your parents are born to hurt you. You'll laugh at this after few years as you'll know they are the best gift.

6. Spend some quality time with your family. You are going to miss that a lot in future.

7. Those tears are priceless, don't shed them on unworthy situations.

8. Try to speak more otherwise your voice will disappear. Vestigiality you see.

9. Don't fall in love, ever in your life. Its just difficult and screws you mentally. You are not meant for all that bullshit.

10. Don't invest in people. Big NO. Be it time, emotions, whatever. Again we don't need that bullshit.

11. I know, you very badly wanted to be a Guy, but guess what God has made you a girl. Try a bit to behave like a girl. I mean thoda sa delicate and all. What ? No ? Ok fine, forget it. I love you the way you are.

12. Health man health. Please take care of your health man. You are very irresponsible as far your health is concerned. You make your body suffer a lot. That's lot of atyachar. Not good.

13. Don't ever think of ending your life. Just STUPID! 

14. Dream the impossible and make it happen. Sacrifice whatever comes in between as my only wish is to see that one beautiful day.

15. Don't try to keep everyone happy. You'll end up hurting yourself. You are not God man. Let God do his job and you do yours.

16. Let people go. If they come back, they are all yours, if not, they were never yours. And that should be perfectly fine.

Otherwise you are perfect. 20 year old Rachana feels proud of you and loves you a lot.

Dear 16 year old, do you want to know how your 20 year old looks ?
More confident, risk taker, fearless, very expressive, stronger than ever, looks cute nowadays, takes stand, damn focused, doesn't give a damn what others are thinking, believes in the power of the Universe, got some good friends and few stalkers too, happily single with lots of crushes.

What has not changed ?

Still never complains, still tries to make people happy, still always ready to help and still in love with you.
