My little girl,
As you step in to a new life and face your first real examination, study wise, I wanted to share something with you.
I never knew I was capable of even passing when I went and sat for the 12 th board....Seriously, ask my parents.. they were so worried... and for some strange reason, it didn’t bother me. I was just... “get it done with”
Times have changed and today, you face many more challenges as a young teenager. So this is to just let you know that, it’s all right to be tense and worried and stressed. Just Don’t let it get to you. Think of your dad who never gave a rats ass ever for an exam. So why should you. It only gets tougher as you grow in life and take in more responsibility in life.... and this adds pressure... and suddenly a rats ass sounds and seems bigger... funny na ..😊
No pressure.... You have none on you. So if you feel something, just relax and chill. My love for you will not change and mum is one step ahead. She will move earth and heaven to see that you are always rocking. She has that effect on us na. She has stood by you in all your triumphs and tribulations, making up for the absence of a father in all my long solo escapades with life. She is the rock of our lives. Always there... one call, shout, gasp away. So while you have worked hard and tirelessly put in hours and hours of work... just hang in there. Just approach the exams as a small step that you have to take as you move forward in life. It’s not a competition... you will never use 90 percent of all that this test will ask you. So don’t let it bother you. Just be calm... absolutely calm and believe in your self and your hard work. No body else matters. No one. They never do bitiya. Only you matter ..
Great things are waiting for you ... just relax and take it in... absorb and be aware. Don’t let any tag like “boards” etc get to you. Your father and mother never even imagined that they would have such a spirited child, outspoken, yet such a gentle being in their lives. You have already surpassed are highest expectations. The love that we see in your eyes each day for lil things, your passion for life, surpassed only by your compassion for others, is a reflection of the pride you have to be part of the family.
So go and do what you are destined to do. All else is secondary. Just as the paper is being handed out ... think of one thought ..
“This is for me.... Aanya. No one else.
Let me be calm and let god guide me in keeping calm and have a wholistic approach.”
You were willed by us... god is part of your bigger plan so he won’t desert you in your life. We are passé... go break free and live it up. I miss you as I prepare for my tests here ... hoping I get to spend more time with the you. The little time ...till my baby flies away... I miss you my baby. Remember to always be humble on good days and on bad days ...We secretly polish the diamond in the shadows.
Keep the powder dry..fire when it matters, till then keep absolutely still and trust in yourself. You are your greatest strength. Mum and I just happen to be around. Her high standards have rubbed of on you and that makes me so proud of your upbringing. The way you are, the lil things. So go fly sweetheart...
You know ..I have always flown with passion because I couldn’t have dreamt of another life. So go choose, seek and give your dreams a chance to come true. We will always be right there behind you.
Hit that ground running...
Turn and engage the adversary...
...my chota fighter pilot ❤️
Love
Dad
