A letter from Jul 11th, 2021

Dear FutureMe, Hello. This is the 21 year old you with bleached hair, weary bones, aching body, heavy head and an even heavier heart. Struggling to survive. On the verge of giving up. But still full of hope. Full of dreams. Still believing she could make it. Hi, I hope you've already figured out what you want in life. I hope you are happy now. Thank you for not giving up. You still are young. You have a lot more to face. Bigger problems. Tougher fights. Deeper cuts. And a lot more tears. Remember that you've come a long way. Everything will pay off. Soon. Very soon. Give yourself a little love sometimes. Breathe. Take a break. I know you've been working very hard. Clear your mind. Focus on your goals. Keep your head up high. STOP BEING LATE. Wake up early. Exercise. Love your body. Don't let people tell you what to do. You are a very strong woman. Remember that you have the right to be heard. Don't be afraid to take risks. Step out of your comfort zone. Allow every opportunity to come in. Take chances. Embrace your mistakes. Learn from them. Stop blaming other people. Take responsibility of your actions. Don't act like you know everything. You have a lot to learn. Stop lying. KEEP YOUR FEET ON THE GROUND. STAY HUMBLE. Give back to the people who helped you. Speak for those who can't. Fight for what you think is right. Check on your siblings. Check on your friends. Call your parents. Thank them for taking care of you. And pray. Thank God for everything. KEEP GOING, I BELIEVE IN YOU.
