Dear Future Me,
I hope as you read this, you’re in a place of peace and purpose. I don’t know exactly where life has taken you, but I trust you’ve grown stronger, wiser, and kinder along the way.
Right now, I’m still figuring things out. Some days I feel confident and excited, and other days I feel lost, overwhelmed, and unsure of everything. But I’m trying — really trying — to become the best version of myself. I’m learning to let go of things I can’t control and focus on what I can: my actions, my choices, and my attitude.
I hope you’ve kept these things in mind:
- Never settle for less than you deserve. I hope you’ve stood up for yourself, even when it was uncomfortable.
- Don’t forget where you came from. I hope you still remember the late nights, the small wins, the quiet doubts, and the people who believed in you when you didn’t believe in yourself.
- Take care of your heart and your health. I hope you’ve prioritized rest, relationships, and peace of mind over pressure and perfection.
Have you achieved the goals I’m chasing now? Maybe some. Maybe none. But I hope you’ve found joy in the journey, not just the destination. I hope you’re surrounded by people who uplift you. I hope you still laugh loudly, cry freely, and love deeply.
If you’re facing challenges now, I want you to remember how far we’ve come. Every version of us — scared, confused, hopeful — led you to where you are today.
