给19岁的坤达。

To my dearest brother:

The one who's always so near to me yet so far to me,

The one who's always there for me, yet made me feel so empty.

The one whom I depend on entirely, the one who made the decision in my life.

 

Hey, you're now a soon to be adult, you just turned 19, it's time to be a grown up. You've to learn to be more independent, never depend on your close friends too much, never to expect from them too much, never to want anything back from them too much. We've seen much and we've know much, accept the truth and move on. Leave what's in your teenage behind, those unwanted and ugly memories, let them stay in the history where they're supposed to be. Only bring forward the happiness and the knowledge you know to your soon-to-be adult hood. Guess you know me better than myself, remind me, guide me, bring me through to a better me, a happier me. Allow me to let go of what's not supposed to be, allow me to be who I am supposed to be. Be there for those who need you, those who really needs your attention and not seeking attention all the time. Remember those who are always there for you, appreciate those who are always there for you, nevertheless, be you, the good you that you are. Keep the little devil in you and let the big angel bring out the best for you.

 

I'm expecting nothing much for you, just these few points...

1. Be happy, be optimistic. Stop being such a negative person and stop dwelling of the past that's not supposed to follow you to the future.
2. Be healthy, get all the unwanted out of the body, sickness, illness, whatever else away.
3. No matter what you do, put in your 100% but don't let people use that as a chance to take advantage of you.
4. Do well for lion dance competition and dragon dance competition. Especially lion dance competition, the amount of effort you put in shouldn't be just gone to waste. Improvement and improvement and improvementssssss, learn more new things and learn more new things. Never give up, never stop learning.
5. Stop being a short-tempered person, be someone who's always smiling and being happy to others and keep all sorrows to yourself. That's what others are expecting from you too.
6. Slim down, the thing you've been trying hard and still persisting, time to buck up and put in far more effort than now.

19 years old me, Happy Birthday to you! May you be blessed with friends, with happiness, with blessings, with joy and with laughter. May you, be what you want to be soon. Have a wonderful 19th awaiting you to explore~ Enjoy!
