To Edward

Dear Edward,

Congratulation for surviving another extra year. Well, i have to say you have a adventurous year, as usual, so you should really thanks God for all the limbs and muscles that are still attached at where they supposed to be.

And congratulation for growing up and turning more mature. No more playing tantrum, playing pranks, acting childish or blindly. Most importantly, you know how to listen to painful yet honest advices. You learn how to suppress your ego, control your desire, cry when you feel hurt, smile when necessary and most importantly, laugh loud proudly.

And congratulation for learning how to love those who deserved your love. You learn how to devote and stay strong, despite obstacles and loneliness. And after so many years, you finally obtained the emotion of feeling love and heartbreak. And yes, finally when someone is sharing their love story, i can show my empathy.

And congratulation for staying and standing strong when you faced thorns and stones in life. You learn to trust your friends. You learn to dependent and look for shoulders when you are tired. You learn to accept other's assistance without doubt. You learn to climb over your own defensive wall. And most importantly, you finally mastered the art of letting go and picking up less burden.

And congratulation for learning how to appreciate mistakes, imperfection, regrets and simplicity. You celebrate for every single achievements. You sing and dance along when you heard tunes that you are familiar with. You sit down, feeling relax while looking at flowers. You learn how to deep breath when you feel stress. And most importantly, you learn to do things slower and spend more time with your beloved.

Other might not realized the change that you have going through but trust me, no one knows the fear and anxiety that you been through better than me. And for you to accomplish what you been avoiding is already an accomplishment. Congratulation for every single mission that you have accomplish. Toasts for a changed Edward, for a better Edward.
