To, Dear Little Sister

 Few things I want to tell you:

  1. It is not at all necessary that what you think you want to do, should be fun, and you should be happy hundred percent of the times doing it

  2. It is not at all necessary that what you are doing, you like every part of it. You may hate it and still wanna do it, and that is absolutely fine

  3. You are allowed to complain, even if you are on your own path. If you are doing something you feel, you have chosen for yourself, you still can be unhappy about it and complain about it 

  4. Whatever you want to do, it is not necessary you have to ace in it. You are allowed to be just ok at it, and continue being ok at it

  5. Being on top of everything is not the only thing to live for

  6. You might like something now, and you might not like that thing later, that is also ok, you are allowed to grow out of your past dreams and aspire for new things

  7. You are allowed to choose things and paths for you, that might be uncomfortable for others

  8. No decision in life is do or die, nothing is do or die, nothing at all. You are allowed to be ok with your existence if you aren't an overachiever too

  9. Suffering, is not the key to living and success, you are allowed to cut yourself some slack

  10. Having control over the situation, feels good, it gives us power, but we can also just sit back and let situation have the power, we cannot control what others feel about a situation (may be related to you or not). And therefore, we cannot control if they will be happy, and even if they are, we cannot control if that happiness will sustain. It is too much responsibility for a human being to bear. 

  11. Certainty is a luxury, and it is a good one, I wouldn't say its worthless, but if you don't have it for a while then that doesn't have to turn into a fight against you. You aren't a failure if you don't have a clear cut road map in front of you. 

  12. It takes time to know yourself, it takes time to understand what we are looking for. You cannot have all the answers right now, it is ok to just keep doing whatever you are doing, and maybe never look for anything. Also answers can change after sometime. You are not a hard coded machine.

We are brought up being fed the ideas of restriction, control and suffering. It is hammered in our minds that unless we are miserable, we are not doing it right. Being vague, being confused is not allowed. You need to have on-point answers and decisions, there should be no delays at all. Our beliefs have been constructed like that. Now, your beliefs might be different from what I have picked, and it is completely fine because we are two different individuals.


I don't have big punch lines, and life changing words, he he. See right there, that's the pressure I put on myself to have a very impactful persona. Just want to tell you that our paths might be parallel. Let's have each other's backs. We will have fun, we will travel together, we will create albums together, paint and sketch together, and maybe we discover more things that we can do together or individually. I think I am out of things to say now... I got you sister!
