TRY YOUR BEST! I hope this letter finds you doing well. I hope you've let go of the trivial things that bother you about yourself, but find joy in the little things that have truly meant so much in life. hope you have confronted your inner fears, smashed your insecurities, let go of your inner doubts; I hope you’ve embraced your inner strength, committed your will, flourished in your ability to positively impact others. I hope you aren’t afraid of finding out what others think of you, and instead actively sought out others’ thoughts and incorporated them into the weave of your life’s blanket. I hope you have given all that you could to your family, your friends, those you care for as a pharmacist while taking care of yourself. I hope your dreams have come true, that you’ve lived life to the fullest and made the most of each day as you tried to when you were younger. I hope you feel confident that you’ve tried your best to be the best mom, despite a constant weight of ‘mom-guilt’, worry, and trepidation that you carried, you have realized that you were just the mom your child(ren) needed. I hope you continue to have a desire to learn and grow, to never stop contemplating how you can be a better version of yourself, and to help others see what they cannot. I hope you have given your patients a new outlook on life, you’ve treated your colleagues with respect and kindness, and you’ve created an impact that others can look towards. I hope you’re embracing feeling vulnerable, making connections, tending to relationships, and looking for adventures. I hope you’re considering things you wish you would have told your younger self, and sharing that advice with your family and friends. I hope you traveled and saw places in the world you thought you wouldn’t and made lasting memories with family and friends along the way. I hope you’ve stayed steadfast in your faith, and trusted that He had you in his hands, always. Until we meet, Future Self,me MAYA TRISHA M. ABELADO :)
