Dear FutureMe,
Hey there!
This is my second time writing a letter for the future. I still find it mind-boggling, it's like I can mess around with the physics of time. I've decided to send this to you, still 18 years old, but have certainly changed within a span of months. I want to send you a letter because I know around this time you are worrying over college entrance exams, or stressing about college in general. Heavy workload? You can do it. Take a deep breath, you've been here before. I know you've been doing your best, but fate doesn't always give us what we desire. Call it cruel, but that is life. Destiny rarely favors us, which is why we work hard; we are not spoon-fed by the universe. When luck and diligence join forces, the satisfaction that you will feel is priceless. Is your posture still poor? I hope not. Drink water for the love of God. Don't put off tasks! Starting is the most difficult part, remember? Get them started. Trust me, it feels lighter.
I don't know if you're still listening to this song called I'll Be There by Michael Nau. For me, it encapsulates wistfulness. This is the type of song that you'll hear as you look over the fields drowned by the warm colors of the sunset. It makes you reflect about your day. Your life. If you forgot this masterpiece, try listening to it again.
I am rooting for you, whatever your endeavors may be. If you still have no one to talk to (and I don't blame you for that), write in your journal. Or write for your future self again. Yes, unfortunately we cannot send each other letters, it can only be one-way. Speak, or in this case write, your truth. Jot down the ugly, the pretty, and the in-between.
I hope this letter made you feel a little positive.
I love you.
- C

Hi Past C!
Turns out I can reply to you, but you won't be able to see it. Sheesh, it has been 6 months? It honestly felt like 3.
Yes,...
