Hi Annalie! (A letter from August 11th, 2020)

Dear FutureMe, Hi! What do I say to you? I don't know exactly. But come to think of it, you have written something like this to yourself. You said you hated writing, but guess what... you've created a masterpiece by letting yourself write something amazing to your Self. In case you still had that memory problem of yours on having a hard time remembering how things had happened (I am at the OCG Office right now, and I am writing this because I have received a reminder in the email from FutureMe.com suggesting that I should write again to my Future Me. So here I am! on your favorite stretchy black jeans and yellow blouse top up with your companies' jacket on) How are you? I really hope you are SINGLE! That you didn't commit to marriage yet! Coz you already know how messy to enter it unless you are ready! right?! I really hope by the time you're reading this, you're doing just fine. I really hope that by the time you read this letter, you are exactly where you needed to be. I know you always had it in your heart to be the very best that you can be. You always had it in your heart to look for the beauty in every thing no matter how good or bad the situation is. You always care for people even when you act like a b*tch sometimes, you still, care so much on other people. This year, while everyone is worrying about the pandemic and other catastrophe that are happening all around the world, your only concern is "Where should I get that part-time job that I needed and deserved that would give me some additional cash?". You've been looking to different platforms already. You've been sending applications to a hundreds of companies all over the internet but still you can't find one! You feel exhausted right now. Thinking at the back of your mind, "unsa jud diay ang para sa akoa?". You are even scared that maybe you're chasing the wrong dream. But somehow, you won't give up despite of those rejections you've received. Why? Cause you had HOPE in HIM. That He prepares something great for you. Feels good right? yes it is... and it is because you always had that feeling and kind of assurance that everything will fall into their places, that somehow, you'll have your time soon... your harvest season. That's what I like about you and I really do hope that you would never change. That you would continue to be optimistic in life, and see things always on their bright side. Remember? You've written something at the front page in a blue notebook? I hope that you've been living that kind of life right now... that wherever He had placed you in accordance with his majestic plan, you are bringing glory and honor to Him. That you are living according to His purpose for you. If you are still alive by now, then it means that He had still greater plans for you and it is not yet finish. In Ecclesiastes 12:12 says, Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, “I find no pleasure in them” Remember Him. From this day on forward. Till your last breath. See... the purpose of this letter being sent to you exactly this day, is for you to be reminded that despite of everything that has happened, and will happen in the future, He is still with you... He has never left you... He is always faithful to you... He loves you so much! Always remember that! and don't ever forget that! By the way, Happy 27th Birthday to you my self :) You've been great! You always had been! I do hope, by this time, that you're wearing the smile God gave you. That you are smiling with your freshest whitest Teeth without those braces :) P.S. By the time you have finish reading this, please promise me that you would make a reply letter to your future self again 5 years from now :) I LOVE YOU! MWAH MWAH! XOXO
