Dear Future Me,

Hi there. I hope when you’re reading this, you’re in a place where you feel proud of yourself, no matter where life has taken you. I’m writing this from a moment where everything feels loud, confusing, and a little overwhelming, but also exciting because I know there’s so much I still have to experience.

I want you to remember where you came from—the things that shaped you, the people who mattered, the mistakes that hurt but also taught you. Don’t forget how hard it felt when you were trying your best but still doubting yourself. Don’t forget the small wins that made your heart feel full. I hope you still carry the curiosity, the boldness, and the kindness that sometimes feels too heavy to hold, but is actually your greatest strength.

I know life isn’t always easy. There will be days when it feels like nothing is going right, days when you miss people you’ve lost touch with, days when you question if you’re enough. But I hope you remember: you always are enough. You’ve survived every storm so far, and that means you’re capable of more than you think.

I hope you still laugh at the little things, still chase what makes your heart race, still love even when it’s hard. I hope you’re proud of the version of yourself that learned, grew, and never gave up—even when giving up seemed like the easier choice.

Most importantly, I hope you still remember me—the me who wrote this letter. I hope you honor our dreams, but also forgive our mistakes. I hope you look back and smile, not because life was perfect, but because you never stopped trying, never stopped feeling, never stopped being you.

Take care of yourself, and don’t forget to enjoy the ride.
