From me to you.
Dear Nadiah,
Happy birthday. You've reached the big 2-0 which you've been dreading so much. As you know, you can't avoid it. You are probably going to have people wishing you happy birthday again next year. And the years after that. You're going to have to stand on your own two feet and be wiser on the decisions you make in life. You're going to have to live with the tiny hints like wrinkles or age spots appearing as you grow.
Despite what you think, you're still quite young. You have lots of years to experience and achieve your goals. Just make that step and do not be afraid of making a mistake. There will be people who will yell at you and criticize you. Others who will be your friend when you're face to face but will stab you when your back is turned. And the rest who just plain hate you. Hopefully, there are those who'll be there for you when you start to experience the bitter side of life. But in the end, you'll be learning something.
Just strive for what you want. You might not be as lucky as some who have the talents, the brains of the world, or the bank account of a celebrity. So to get what you want, you're going to have to work hard. And while you're striving, do not forget those who've cared for you, who've helped you along the way until you reach your goal. Especially God and your parents.
I hope you'll be happy with your life.
Signed, Your Friend.
PS I'm sorry you're sick on this day.
