to my dearest kiddos:
thank you for the past three months. for all the crap i can spout, i really can't find the words to express how i feel. you have touched me in your ways; noisy, caring, cute, eccentric and in every way possible, sweet and lovely.
And it is slightly disconcerting and painful (in a bittersweet way) to see myself then (looking back upon my own fifteen-year-old self ), in a way weirdly reflected within all of you.
to see your concerns, expectations, stuff that i once worried endless about too.
to comprehend the fragileness and vulnerability of the world of a girl-child; where a single word or gesture can crush or lift a spirit, when every little thing and bit is magnified and when friendship and good times are taken for granted.
i'm so young yet i feel so old at this moment of time. everything is relative. heh.
i am starting to get used to the idea of letting go and witnessing change; because i have realised that i can't hold on to anything or anyone for that matter.
so my dearest kiddos, know that you are lucky to be at fifteen. treasure each other and all the times you take for granted now because when you find yourself nineteen and very much alone ( not unhappily, just solitary) you will realise how easily those moments slip away and how sadly those people drift away.
un moment à se rappeler
. a moment to remember.
