To the Person, I see in the Mirror daily 

Dear You,

Hi! It’s been a long time since we sat together to have a chit-chat session. So I’m here again, standing right in front of you, reading this letter out loud to you.

Every morning I come here and look at you. Every morning I take a few minutes to stare at you with my questions. And every morning I walk away without getting any answers. I don’t know what it is that is creating this gap between us. But I want to erase whatever it is.

My questions include complaints that I have for you. I’m always complaining about how you think, about how you look at the world, about your plans for your life and a million other things that do not satisfy me. The jar of my questions is actually filled with such useless complaints and needless expectations. These expectations are those that are left unfulfilled by the world and I pour them on you. I discard all that here without even thinking you’re not even at fault!

So I’m here to mend things. I’m here to apologize. I’m here to make peace with the fact that you and I are one. I’m here to tell you that you are not incomplete without those who left you; you are not unsuccessful if you failed at a task; you are not dumb if you don’t know everything; you are not bad if you said no to someone; you are not a coward if you take time to analyze your risks and plan your moves forward; you are not alone if you don’t have anyone to talk to; you are not what I’ve always made you think you are.

You are so much more! You are the reason why I wake up every morning. You taught me to take my own stand. You are the reason why my courage never falls when I know I’m right. You taught me to realize and apologize whenever I go wrong.

And that is why I’m here today. I promise to make you feel proud. And more than that, I promise to make you happy. I promise to work with all my heart and accept whatever comes my way without any critical analysis. I promise to be there for you. I promise to come here every morning and smile at you with love rather than looking at you with doubts.

I know, you are my one and only answer to everything.
