But you, you were different. You were there. You did not have to tell me or remind me of anything. You just did what everybody else said they would do. You did not have to sugarcoat anything. You picked me up even if I let them see that I was strong enough to put myself back together. I fooled everybody to thinking that I was okay, better even. But you, you knew more than what I had to show. You knew how hurt I was while everybody else just knew and cared for the story of how I was hurt. You were different and I thank you for that. Here’s to you

To the future you who will be looking back at her old self and thinking how different could her life have been if it were not for the choices she chose. Who will be saying "I am here now, there's no more turning back", so she just goes along with life anyway. All the mistakes she committed goes rushing to her mind and her stomach goes upside down for awhile. But she straightens up and realizes that all those bumps along the way do not really mean that much actually because she's made it this far. It was a tough road, but she held on and that's what matters the most. Not everything is going to be perfect, that's for sure, but she will be carrying a big smile. Not just of relief but also of gratitude for if it were not for the hard times, she wouldn't have gone that far with strength and courage within her. She will realize that everything were for the best--for her best. Her old self(you) was confused and angry at the same time. She never fully understood the purpose of everything(good and bad). But now, she may still not comprehend every single thing, but at least, she knows there is a purpose. Everything will not just be for nothing. And that, she believes in. To the future you, job well done. Keep on going. But if I may remind you, it doesn't end here. Still, you're going to be okay. Here's to you.
