Hey man, I know I could've written before and warned you of things to come, but after pondering over this for sometime, I thought otherwise. I'm writing to you at this point because this is where we shape our future! You have already fucked up the engineering entrance and are looking for a way out! Don't worry, you won't do too bad! I'm writing to you now because I think you'd understand things a bit better now.
Make sure to get in touch with people you stopped talking to recently. Yes you got the person whom I'm talking about! And yes I know it sounds weird, it wasn't even our mistake in the first place but believe me, if you don't do it right now, this will be one of our biggest regrets in life! So pick that phone and drop a message.
Eighteen is a wonderful age though! You'll be getting into your first relation, falling in love with your future wife, making new friends for life and leaving behind a few who you never imagined! You're gonna feel fucked up quite a lot. You won't even be able to help it. Many times you won't even know why! You are a difficult person, that's what you must be feeling right now, but believe me it gets worse!! So better buckle up. In the next decade you're gonna let down every single person you know. One of those mistakes will make you give up on everything, even your life. Nothing will feel the same. So when you're about to do it, do give it a better thought. Though we come out of it, the scars will run deep. And you would end up changing a lot of things in your life because of it. The only upside, it becomes a learning lesson of a lifetime! So I hope you make better choices than what I made.
Whenever in doubt, Write! It will give you the solace nothing else would. I know we have started writing a year or so back, but we will move on from writing poems and songs to things that depict our deepest feelings. Don't be afraid to let it out. I've been too cautious in putting my feelings to pen due to the fear of our shell being broken. But I think you should let that go. Writing will take you places within you that you are too afraid to go. It will liberate your mind and give you perspectives of things that nothing else ever will.
More than anything, be confident in whatever you do. You need to inspire people around you to be the better versions of themselves. And for that you'll need to be the best version of yourself! When shit hits the ceiling, and you're beat down to the ground, don't fret, stand up and face it.
There'll be a shit load of things you'll be giving up for various reasons. Make sure you remember everything. Because we're gonna get it done one day! A decade plus down from where you are, we are not in the place you thought we will be in back then. I am sorry for that. A lot of it wasn't in my hands and I hope you can forgive me for that. So you grab every opportunity you can like there's no tomorrow. I know you'd wanna know more about the things I spoke of but I think dealing with them is what made us who we are right now. And personally, I would let them be surprises as they come along! There are plenty of wars you'll be fighting in your head. And you'll need this experience to deal with them!
Best of luck!
