Robert Daniels - Dear Younger Self,

Dear younger self,

The world will continue to implode around you
But it is up to you to keep your head above the rising tide
Eye wide open
To the beauty that lies within
Ignore the flies within
It will only send you to the dark side
Too many times I've cried
Looking for answers in the
Millions of questions
Instead count your blessings
They number in millions too
Lesson number 2
Do you
Don't hesitate to dance in places it is discouraged
True courage is a gift
So unwrap it daily
Don't worry if they call you crazy
It's usually envy
Not that they want to be you
But just not care so much about what others do or think

Number 3
Spend time with your mother
cs much as possible
She is love and will always be
But her love on earth will expire
Before you feel you are ready
But be steady
She has prepared you
With lessons on how to love a child
With your whole self
Give options and choices
Give god and hugs
Give support and discipline
Give love
Til it hurts
cnd sometimes it will
Show empathy and reveal
Learn to apologize and rebuild
True love is worth it
True love is worth it.

Last lesson is simple
Let your light shine
Let it shine
In the darkness that will exist
Your positive outlook is the beacon
We need in these times
So be lit
Be bright
clmost blinding
c kind word can save a life
So throw out life boats in conversation
cnd pull the drowning ashore
Dark places are as real as your light
So be ready to fight
Fear with love and hate with compassion
cnd don't ration
Give the full dose
Of vitamin smile and the medicine called laughter
It can be as addictive as oxycodone
If you let it
cnd you won't later regret it
Or need to detox
So be light
Light up the stage
Light up the world
Light up the darkness
cnd let it shine.

I love you, younger self.
Thank you.
