Letter to myself

Dear Kelly, It's your birthday today. I know I know, it's a weekday, a work day, but still there's no excuse not to have fun after work ends!

Don't you feel loved? You thought the day will fly pass without anyone remembering it. You thought your mummy forgot totally about it because there was no birthday cake. You thought all your friends forgot about it because they are not meeting up this week for a celebration. No one said anything about birthday celebrations other than your beloved boy who sprung surprise after surprise. But midnight came, your phone started ringing. Birthday SMSes from friends, from people you haven't heard from for a long time came in. Your boy called, and sang you a birthday song asked you to open up the door at the stroke of 12. He sent you home around 10ish, but he hung around till 12 just to present you with a kiss and your present (that T&Co Frank Gehry fish pendant) that's on your list of desirability. Then the friend you held close to your heart remembered your birthday afterall when she pestered you to check if you've received any email. Her message touched you and you told her that you thought she forgot all about it and she called you a silly girl. The woman who bore you and provided you with everything you wanted, didn't forget your birthday afterall! She SMSed you at the stroke of midnight as well, despite the fact she's not very tech-savvy. You went into the room and saw a red packet with familiar handwriting and felt tons better.

Babe, I want to tell you that you're very blessed. You got nearly everything a girl could wish for. A lovely boyfriend who loves and adores and pampers you to no end. Sisters who tend to your every whim and fancy, a great one who gives you a hug when you feel like things are crashing down and listens to all your rants when youre feeling all angsty. Lovely mum who cooks anything that you feel like eating, and stocks up bottles of Yakult and make your sisters finish up the rows of Vitagen that she bought wrongly previously because you only drink Yakult. People who care about you and lets you know so on your birthday via various ways!

The year is coming to an end, but things are only going to get tougher. But you gotta believe in the law of ability; whatever that's put into your life, you can handle it. Don't get all stressed out, hit the gym, beat that nasty stress. Dont let your fear hold you back from doing greater things (no matter what that may be in the future). I know you want to do advertising, and I know, you can do a good job. Even if the pay is peanuts, remember what you want to achieve and its worth it.

But all in all, remember; always love yourself, don't be too hard/ critical. Work hard, play even harder. Keep discovering new things, have fun and always laugh alot, never lose the inner child in you to the nasty mean things out there. Be a fighter and a firm believer of yourself. You're beautiful, no matter what they say.

I love you babe. Happy Birthday

Love,
Me
