A letter from June 27th, 2018

Time Travelled — almost 2 years

Peaceful right?

The date is June 27, 2018 at 1:32 AM. First day of MFT program (hasn't started yet because you been writing them letters to the future). SO 2 YEARS HAS FLEW BY. TWO. YEARS. NOW I JUST WANT TO SAY. CONGRATULATION ON GRADUATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( ̄^ ̄)ゞ YOU DID IT, JEFF! I AM SO PROUD OF YOU, FUTURE ME. I KNEW YOU CAN DO IT. ARE YOU READY TO MAKE A CHANGE TO THE WORLD? ARE YOU READY TO BECOME A PSYCHOTHERAPIST? yeah yeah. You still need to do your hours and more training I assume. But a big props to you for completing a huge part of your milestone. You USC TROJAN. All of the hard work for the past two years will pay off. :,) Now it's time to get the show on the road. ~ So how was the overall experience at USC? (Right now, I am worried that it won't be as fun and memorable as I imagine it to be) Who are your friends? What are they like? Did they do some of the bucket list things that you wanted? How was the practicum thing? (Not sure what it is right now, they say to worry about it later on) OH YEAH. ARE YOU GOING TO JAPAN? Remember you learned Japanese in CSULA that one semester with Hiroko-sensei. Even though you didn't even enroll in the class, you took it because of your passion of learning. SO. YOU GOING TO JAPAN YET? You said you wanted to go by 2020. And hopefully, it'll be a cheap flight!! Are you planning to go with friends or solo trip? Remember to check out your bucket list! And update as you go. ~ So right now, you have three main hobbies. 1. Writing short stories 2. Food blogging 3. Drawing one page every day Do you still do any of them? Do you have any new hobbies? ~ I'm sure you grew a lot as a person for the past two years. But don't forget the passion you had. Your wish of making people feel something. Also writing a story that resonates with you. Remember the quote: 『 Dreams don’t ever come true by only wishing. So instead, write a story about attaining them yourself 』 Did you finish at least one story? What project are you currently working on right now? I'm sure you are a brilliant writer compare to I am right now. You are still working on Potential and Regulars III for Sister. I hope you keep writing and eventually become a 'Challenger' in that. Remember your dream of being published one day and don't forget that. Life is just one story. The days that inadvertently pass by are irreplaceable and will never come again. I hope you made the last two year really count. You took those risks. You took the chance. You got out of your comfort zone. And you always focus on improving a better version of yourself. Deep inside, I know that this part of me will never change. After all, that's how you are (You have Grit). ~ Again, Congratulation on receiving your MFT degree!!!! :D To think that the day I am writing now, I am about to start my first day. Pretty crazy right? Alright, enough from me now. Now it's all about you! Share me some of your future goals, memorable moments and personal hobbies. (☞゚ヮ゚)☞

Epilogue

over 1 year later

Hey me from the past,

I've been struggling a lot with self-compassion and being kinder to myself. At the same time, noticing my own strength and achievements. Seeing how much...
