Dear Iris, I have so many hopes and dreams about where you’d be, what you’d be doing and with whom you’d spend your life with. I’m having a really hard time figuring out things right now but I promise to do my best for you and for the people who believe in you. I hope I don’t fail you. I’m trying my best to make good decisions. I hope that you’d be successful and happy, more than anything. Live life to the fullest. I’m working hard now so that you’d have time to enjoy life. Problems come and go. There would be times when you’d be frustrated. Been there, done that. And if at some point you’d feel like quitting, just pray. God will help you get through anything. He has always been there for me. I’m sure He won’t mind helping you. Keep me posted. :) Love, Your 19-year old Self
