Dear younger me,

I hope you are enjoying this series so far. It feels a little sad to know that it is going to come to an end very soon. Still, I will not break the rhythm and will share another important aspect of life with you.

You know, everybody’s life is a story, and so is ours. From the moment we are born, to seeing the world through different lenses and growing up, we get a chance to unfold a unique story of our own. In this process of growing up, I have learned that being warm and friendly is important. The people around us are a part of our story, and we need to make sure that our story remains meaningful and is not shaped negatively by others.

Being hospitable and accommodating are qualities you can carry with you. They help keep your mind calm and balanced. But always remember not to extend your giving nature at the cost of your own happiness. In the end, whatever you do is for yourself, and there will not always be someone to hold you through every phase of life. Learn to become self-sufficient.

I understand it may feel like I am asking you to be both soft and strong at the same time, and that can be confusing. But we all play different roles in life, and it is important to understand which version of ourselves is right for each situation. There are times when I still get triggered by small things, and later I regret it. In those moments, I remind myself to be calm and welcoming instead of reacting impulsively.

My anger is something I have carried from childhood, and I am still learning how to manage it. But becoming better is a choice, and I continue to work on it every day.

I hope your anger softens a little, so that you feel more at ease. Thank you for holding on to yourself for so long. Because of you, I have been able to experience so much more.

Yours truly,
A little more calm Tanvi
