Dear You,

The constant need for attention and praise wasn't developed in a day. Do you remember when as a kid you'd draw something utterly beautiful or hit the right chords while singing, your parents would shove you in front of family members like some gold trophy? They'd make every possible attempt to show off your work to the world, and not let you bask in the glory of what you've created. That's where the problem began, you start looking for validation and love everywhere instead of your own self. When was the last time you looked at something you build with your bare hands and marvelled over what a masterpiece it is, and not relied on your favourite artist's views to validate your work? So tonight, just look at yourself in the mirror and repeat, "I'm a masterpiece." You don't need a stamp to be approved by the society, to chase your dreams and fantasize your life. Somethings are better and beautiful raw, don't overheat them to procure a product. After all, rapid and repeated stoking chookes the beauty of relations.

- You are your own Starry Night.
