A letter from Oct 6th, 2021

Dear FutureMe, How are you doing? Are you feeling good? How’s life so far? Must be tough right? It’s been five years and you’ve grown up so much, i’m glad. This is Ysabel, your five year younger self. I sent this email at the age of 13, i’m guessing you must be now 18 years old! I know life is tough, you’ll experience something much much more harder in the future but don’t worry, i know you’re a strong woman—i’m you after all ajlsjs. I don’t know what you’ve been through but i’m so proud of you, Ysa. Please be a better person for your family, for your friends and mostly for yourself, for ourself. Being 13 years old is hard, i have a lot of insecurities that i needed to hide, afraid that if i let it out.. people will judge me. I don’t want you to experience the same, please accept your flaws no matter what it is at your time because that imperfections is your own definition of perfection. Anyway, i still have a lot of memories to show you, memories you once treasured before and i’m hoping you still do, right now. Stay safe and be who you are, iloveyou. /3 Your younger self, Dominique Ysabel C.D (10-06-2021)
