a letter to future me

To, 18 year old Farhan,


Life as a 17 year old was really fun. Twas way better than you thought it was. Something that you will tell your future grandchildren soon. Well, 2010 wasnt actually the best year. There are always challenges in life that you cant accomplished. This kind of things kinda let me down. Life was really fair. They gave you good, as well as bad. What I can say is, its a year full of pleasure and hell. Such pleasure, new life as a uni student, got a car, made more and more new friends by time. Such hell, accident, breaking up with the person you love, having a fight when you dont think it wasnt suppose to be a fight. Life is awesome, you just got to know how to manage it properly and make it much more awesome. 17, its a nice number. Its like we're at the age of teenage life. Once you are 18, you have fall into the adult category. Adult, no more playful childish moment. It's all serious stuff. This is like your time to learn how to be a leader amongst others. Then in few years coming, you are going to work, finding your own money, you are going to build your own family, being the leader of the family. Its a lot of hardwork I must say. It is not as easy as it sounds. Many people people would quote, life is just a number. To them turning 17 to 18 is just like another year. To me, its something different. Some might say I'm taking this seriously. Well, I ignored it. Its something different for me. You need to at least be better than me this year. 17 is a childish year. 18 is something you have to really think weather what you are doing is correct or not. worth or waste. no more asking parents or what. you have to do it yourself.


Being 18, doesnt mean you are legal to do all. Its just a reminder for you to think weather its good or not. You have bigger task ahead, so dont blew it like I did. I've done loads of probs when I was 17. and Lately, I've done something I think was stupid or so. So yeah, last thing I request you to do is not to repeat like I did now. If can, try apologizing to them for me. I dont have much time to do it. Its not really that easy. I hope, your mature brain can do it. I'm writing this letter to you, to make ourselves much better as time passes by. This is the last semester and I really need you to concentrate on your studies more. You can still play football, but only for league, not for fun. Be high standard, let people find you instead of you finding them. If they are really your friend, they would have at least ask you out for lunch or dinner or maybe going out to the malls. If they say you are arrogant, let them. Why should you find them when they know you are always available no matter what. Its the standard of people nowadays, calling us egoistic without any reason. Well, that is just something you have to deal with. I have been through all that, now its your turn. 


I think thats all I might write to you. Its just what I have told you is something for you think about. If can, dont repeat what I have done in my 17 year old life. Whatever happened is the past, now focus on the future. Try talking to her again for me. I kinda missed her so yeah. I am no more tomorrow. She's all yours now. Fulfill your promises towards the people you have promised. Again, I repeat, life aint easy if you dont know how to handle it and make it much awesome. Lastly, Happy 18th birthday yo. I wont be there when you celebrate it. It's a life changing journey now ~~


your sincerely,
17 year old Farhan ;)
