Life is a cab ride.

Hi sweetheart,

Sometimes we all feel a little blue. We all feel as if we do not know where we are at present and where we are going. We have an immense feeling of ennui, which is not exactly sadness but more of an all-devouring confusion. I just want you to sit down, take a few deep breaths and look at the big picture. Slowly and gently, I want you to read this.

Life is like a cab ride. You stop somewhere, you leave some places behind. You pick up some people along the way. You leave some on the kerb. Some people leave without paying you the fare. Some tip you extra. Sometimes, you are on the highway and at other times you are stuck in gridlock. Sometimes, you car stinks of alcohol,cigarettes and vomit. Sometimes, you have a puppy at the back. At times, you car breaks down completely and somebody has to tow you back home at 2am.

But, after all this, there's only one question in your mind. 

Are you in the driver's seat always ? 

No, you aren't. And that's fine. 

It is a BIG BIG world and you are a liiiitttttleeee girl. It is okay to feel confused and overwhelmed. When you do, always talk about it to your close ones and NEVER EVER keep it hidden inside.

Yours lovingly,
Dad

P.S - People close to you are like the traffic lights and police cars and the GPS. You know, whom to turn to for directions in your life. :)
