A letter from May 12th, 2021

To my 26 year old self, I wonder what would be my life in 5 years from this day on. I'm 21 now so in 5 years I will be 26. What am I in those years? Have I achieved my dream? Or I'm still finding what my dream is. I really don't have a specific vision of who I want and what I want to be. Yes, I'm taking up education rn but I really don't know if being a teacher is what i want in the future. Sometimes, I want to be a cook, and sometimes I want to be a painter. Weird right? At this age, I don't know what I want to be. Others may already visualized their self in the future and already know what their dreams are. Then, how about me? Would my life be in a mess? Am i not successful? When these things cross my mind, I am afraid with myself. I am scared that I haven't achieved all my dreams. I am scared that I wouldn't pay back my parents. I am scared that all my hardships and sacrifices will go to waste. So to my future self, I hope that you'd endured all the pain that you may encounter. I hope that you'd overcome all your challenges. I hope that you'd let go of all your insecurities. I hope that you already found what you really want and who you want to be. I hope that you'd achieved all your dreams. I hope that you find your happiness. I hope that you would be successful. I hope that all your worries and fears rn will become your strenght to continue in life. I hope that you would not give up no matter what happens. And if all these things haven't happen to you in 5 years, please don't give up and try all your best to make it all possible. Just continue. I'm rooting for you. FIGHTING MY FUTURE SELF!!! YOU WILL MAKE IT!!! From: SAI, your 21 year old self😊
