A Letter to my 18-year old self.

Dear 18-years old self,

Hi! In a few hours my biological clock shall put an end to your existence. I have been out of my mother's womb for 19 years and I still can't believe that it was that long.

I would like to thank you for everything you have taught me. Truly, this year had been very emotional for me. I made decisions that I am not sure of at the start, from changing publications, academics, and most importantly, personal self.

It's so hard to do such things, and you'll always be remembered by that. I never knew myself well until you came. You have taught me that I never did before, and yes, it was to think before acting.

Thanks to you, I have never been so stressed in my life. With all of what you call, natural comings, sure you tested who I really am.

I want to thank you for the privileges and responsibilities you brought me. From voting, to purchasing you know what in a 7-11 store.

Sorry if I have let you down several times, but nonetheless, I know I have made you proud too.

As now we part ways, I am thankful enough that you are so far the biggest sandpaper in my life, and like a diamond, may I be molded as you planned.

Until then, thank you!

With all I am,
Jady
