To my future self

Dear Kabir,

Halt. Pause. Take a seat. Breathe. Hug. Kiss. Touch. Feel. Sense. Smell. Walk. Run. Bend. Stretch. Observe. Drink some water. Don’t speak. Just listen. Call them. Turn your phone off for a while. Internet is still a trap. Ask for help. Offer help. Share everything. Live. Spend. Don’t be sorry, don’t try to become something or someone. Just be. Sleep. Read. Dream. Sleep. Read. Write. Write silly things. Create stuff. Destroy some of it. Watch it getting destroyed. Love. Sleep. Wake up. Cycle. Ride a horse if you can.

Turn off the screens. The movie can wait. Play with children. Play alone. Fail. Fail at work. Fail at relationships. Don’t believe anything or anyone. Walk away if uninterested. Drive. Drive in the rain. Walk in the rain. Go to a forest. Climb mountains. Go near a waterfall. Swim if you like. Go to a beach. Watch the sunset, the waves. Jump from a plane. Bungee jump. Draw badly. Laugh at yourself. Laugh with people. Cry. Cry at the movies. Take a photo. Burn a photo. Eat expensive dishes. Get into trouble. Face your problems. Just don’t be afraid to live.
