They all told you to — “Grow up”.

Thank you for not listening.

Thank you for making up innocent fantasies
Rather than thinking of scary “what ifs”

Thank you for enjoying the present
Rather than drowning in the past
Or getting lost in the future

Thank you for laughing at silly things
instead of worrying about being “cool”

Thank you for eating as your body wished
instead of fearing food

Thank you for rising back up each time you fell
instead of giving up

Thank you for brightening other’s days
Instead of darkening your own

Thank you for living and not just existing.

With love,
Your Future self
