Dear Future You.

January 10, 2018

Dear Future You,

Are you still breathing? Are you still fighting?

Do you still walk with flames in your soul?

The flame that burns, burns out of passion, love and dedication;

Engulfing everyone, and everything that crosses your direction.

They see the fire in your eyes, and they know.

They know you're not like no other, you'll burn as long as you're alive,

fighting, scratching, aching to reach your full potential.

They feel the heat, and you can feel it too.

So, dear Future You, what are you waiting for?
