A letter from August 18th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, It’s your birthday! Happy birthday! I hope you’re happy and healthy wherever you are right now. It must have been a wild ride, the past five years. I wonder what trials you went through? I hope it’s nothing too bad to break your spirit. Nothing can break your spirit though, you’ve been through so much, and you’re strong and brave to have kept going until now, 30 years later! I hope, you continued to better yourself every year since writing this letter, in your dark bedroom in Saipan at 1am, next to your lover, while the world was in the middle of a pandemic. Life was way different then huh? Your answers for financial stability was just recently answered. I hope you shared your blessings and made yourself better from it. I hope you stayed humble. I hope you used it to work towards your goals. Did you reach your weight goal? Did you reach your money goal? Your career goal? Are you right now either a firefighter, EMT, writer, publisher, editor or anything in the writing or medical industry? Did you reach your travel goal? Did you overcome your insecurities? Did you help your family out with what you can? I hope you have accomplished what you set out for yourself these past five years. I hope, wherever you are right now, I hope it’s with the love of your life. If not, hey, that was a great ride wasn’t it? But if you are, you are blessed and you must continue working to keep it. Hold on to it. It’s best to not be alone in this cruel world. But hey, if you’re alone, at least you got yourself. You always will. I love you. I love you so much and thank you for keeping me safe and happy through this crazy, unexpected, beautifully dear thing called life. I love you. Sincerely, Yourself
