Dear Brother,

Happy Birthday! It's that special day once again when I sit behind my desk with a blank screen that lurks at me. I am supposed to write you words of wisdom since I have taken this responsibility voluntarily. To guide you to the best of my ability has always been a priority but things have not materialized the way they were supposed to. Sometimes, it was fault on our end and sometimes we lucked out hard time.

There are always new beginnings though. What's important is to realize what went wrong, what are the things you could have controlled and what could have been done differently. You see the circumstances we are in where you are constantly being told to fit yourself to this predefined mold. The society is chipping away your dreams which it doesn't understand. You are told to do one thing which will make you fit better while your heart clings to something else that you value and we are unable to do anything about it. I feel so helpless, even ashamed sometimes, for not being able to support you through.
