Letter To My Younger Self : Holding On

Dear innocent me,

I hope you have learned to heal. In life, you had to confront people and situations that made you uncomfortable to stay, and you had to move on from them. But there is one more thing that you had to take care of, and that is holding on. No, not holding on to people, but holding on to yourself and your life.

You know, I remember how you have always loved your skills, and your curiosity to add another feather has brought you to writing five books. And the best part is your latest book, which follows this principle of holding on, that is, “Hold On, You are Almost There.” Your perseverance and confidence made me share the secret recipe of my discipline and consistency with everyone through this book. Often, people have asked how you manage so many things together, and my answer to that is this book.

Life has always been beautiful, but most often we glorify our struggles and pains, forgetting about the moments when life gave us lemons and we made lemonade. After all, if we hold our life ourselves, we become unstoppable, and you taught me that a little late, but we learned it. Now, the control is in my hands. From choosing my college to writing that first book, exploring options was the freedom that set me on the go and helped me take one step at a time to fulfill my dreams. You don’t know how I feel when I look back at my journey. It has been beautiful, and I am slaying.

Thank you so much for being there even in difficult situations, even when people tried to take advantage of you, and even when your world shattered but you did not give up. That is why I am here, writing this letter to let you know that I am walking on a path where I have learned to hold on to my life and not to people.

Yours truly,
Tanvi, who knows holding on to life.
