A Letter To My Impatient Self

Quite fortunately,
There's unseen beauty in ugly things.

And altogether fascinating,
Unrevealed mystery in every smile.

Just as a treasure is hidden,
Not every purpose is outwardly intended.

The smoothness of a road doesn't always gurantee a safe destination.
Sometimes, it's the rough road that leads to the strongest direction.
