My first post of 2020 is dedicated to my awesome husband. One of the things he wanted as his birthday gift from me was that I get back to writing. I gladly obliged.
This letter is to the 27 year old "R" I first met and fell in love with!
Dear R,
As I write this letter to you on your 27th birthday, know that this year your life is going to change,
and it's going to change for good. I am here with some great news for you and some not so good. But I promise, I am here to give you hope. Hope of a bright and happy future.
This year you will move back to your city, closer to your parents. And you will have a
wonderful job too. There is so much you will learn at this new job and there are going to be challenges. But don't give up, you will sail through.
Please continue your love for fitness. Do not give it up. You may not realize it now but you will
reap the benefits in the future when you will get busy chasing your dream for programming. It
is this love for fitness that will help you deal with the stress that is to come. Keep that self love going, you will need it soon.
Your beloved friend "J" will become your Godmother and she will be your biggest
cheerleader and support. Stay in touch with her, respond to that email, and make that phone
call. Tell her how much she means to you. Tell her now.
As far as catching up is concerned, don't worry about not being able to catch up to the world right now. Not everyone can be as awesome an introvert as you are. Don't let people's opinion of you rob you of your dreams. Be the wonderful boy you are! The one's judging you now, wont even matter in the future. Instead focus on your dreams and chase them, one dream at a time. Take that test, write that code. One day you will make it big and how!
You will make some wonderful friends around the globe in the future. These friends (some little and some tall) will fill your heart with the joy of their friendship. Learn to let go of what doesn't serve you. This lesson in letting go will help you grow.
Learn to make Tea, it will come handy in the future. If possible, please learn the difference between cumin and fennel seeds. They DO NOT complement each other.
Lastly, that girl from Bombay you just met, is the one for you. When the time comes, tell her how you feel for her. She will say yes, I promise. But please do not crack that awful HR joke to her. You will instantly regret it. Work on your listening skills too, she can talk a lot. :)
Keep smiling and keep up with that weird sense of humor. You might not know, but you do have some fan following there.
For your birthday today and every birthday in the future, I wish you nothing but love, joy, and good health.
Love,
your future wife - Khushi
P.S. Go get that salon appointment for your hair, this will be a regular in the future.
