Mail 13: Yesterday, Today, Hopefully not Tomorrow

I've always wanted to reached out to the weary
To those in pain
But I don't know how because words is all I have
And words is the only thing I can give

I know 2022 is not quite a joyride for you
You struggle for the things known and unknown
You experience heartbreak, letting go, and moving on
You breakdown, a little and a lot
But I am proud of you for staying strong and for surviving
2022 may not be your best year, but it does not mean that every year will not be best

This 2022 as your yesterday is quite tiring for you
It drains you at times
But it allow you to be steadfast and strong
To realize that not all things will go the way you wanted it to be
That some things are not beyond your control
That when things does not go your way, you accept it
You embraced it
And you learn to restart some things you can finally maneuver

2022 may not be your best yesterday but here's a toast for you
Cheers—
for letting go of the things that hurts you
for realizing that you can grow best armed with the lessons you've earned
for accepting that mistakes are generally part of you and it does not diminish your capabilities
for embracing failures as it takes you to a new level of acceptance, gratitude, and forgiveness
for loving the you of yesterday and becoming a better you of today.

2023 is starting, it calls for a fresh start
You may still experience some things of your yesterday
Be it be bad or good
But you'll face it with the reinforce you
The you who is a bit strong despite the challenges
The you who can maneuver the course of your journey
The you who does not easily breakdown and succumb to your demons
The you who despite the demons, finds your way back into light

Your pain of Yesteday
Can also be the pain of your Today
Hopefully not Tomorrow
For this—I'm proud of you
You are the product of yesterday
A work in progress of your today
Hopefully, the reinforce you of tomorrow.
