Hey, You!

It is so odd writing to you,
But I've realized that I, your inner self,
must have a little chat with you
and give you some admonition.

Ok, don't panic…you did nothing wrong.
I just have to show you
and let you know that I love you.
You should also put some effort to accept and love yourself.

I just couldn't help but notice
how you've changed a lot
since you've entered the realm of adulthood.
Hey, don't get me wrong.
It's not wrong to mature and make mistakes,
but sometimes you have to be wary about your actions.

You're too carefree and you don't mind
what others might think and say to you.
You just do whatever you want to do without thinking.
I know you're not doing anything wrong,
BUT you have to also think about the others' feedback.

Yeah, maybe you're saying:
"what the hell is she talking about?"
well, Miss, just to let you know
you've been rushing things lately.
You've become indecisive these past few days
and I can't say it's a good thing.

You know what I'm talking about!
Didn't you find yourself moaning
and crying every night since God knows when??
I'm thinking that you're enjoying it though.

Tsk tsk tsk…it's not healthy, you know?
You have to take things slowly
and think a lot of times before making a decision.
That's why there's something called "planning".
You have to plan something and think about
the matter many times until you're definite about it.
I'm not lecturing you, ok?
I'm just being concern here.
It's for your own sake anyway! 

What's this I've heard that
you're isolating yourself from other people??
Oh NO, NO, NO, NO!!
STOP IT!
I know you're enjoying yourself…
you know…you go to see a movie,
you go shopping, you go ice skating,
you go walking…
ALONE!

But honey, don't you find it boring??
Or should I say lonely?
I know you have to spend some time with yourself,
but hey, don't forget that it's more fun
if you do it with your friends, you know?

You must admit, you're friends are being supportive lately.
And it's good don't you think?
That's only because they care for you and they love you, honey!

But I must admit that I'm proud of you.
Yeah, you heard it right!
I'm proud of you because
you've become matured.
You've learned your mistakes
and you appreciate its significance.
That's good for you!

You need to experience more things and learn more.
You need those in order for you to grow. 
  
See how concerned I am!
You just don't listen to your inner self
that's why you're hurting lately.

Next time, you should follow me
because I know what's best for you.
I know you need some advice from other people,
but isn't it only right to discuss things with me first?
It's for your happiness, anyway!
I mean OUR happiness.

So stop thinking too much ok?
It'll only make you even more confused.
Just focus on your studies because
that's what matters the most right now.
And one more thing:
never ever regret the things that have happened to you
whether it is good or bad because
those decisions that you've made
somehow put a smile on your face.

So, forget regret or else life is yours to miss!

Whatever happens, you know
I'm always here to share the load with you.
So put back that beautiful smile on your face.
Your friends are longing to see it
and I miss it as well.

Keep on smiling…
you'll never know…
you might brighten someone's day
just because of that smile.
Just be yourself AND love yourself…
you'll be fine! Trust me!
Ok, honey?!

Truthfully yours,
