A letter from Feb 12th, 2022

Dear FutureMe, Hi, haha how are u? Okay paka I mean okay na ka? I am you from the past, I'm here sitting at our store, it's past 9pm, sky is dark, no stars, am hearing raindrops and the buzzing of our old refrigerator. Btw, I hope you already found a path that makes you feel your worth, that makes you feel that you're not a failure. I hope you have already established the self-confidence you've always needed, I hope you're genuinely happy even though I know there are rocks and stones life throws at you anytime. These times I am always looking down on myself because I am 19 turning 20, dropped out of college because I don't like the course I took, haven't done any remarkable success in life yet, too much self-pity, low self-esteem, and an overthinker human being. I hope by the time you read this you have nothing like this kind of girl anymore, I hope you're now a woman with power, with voice, and with face haha. I wish you're living my dream. I miss the child you and I know you miss the teenager you too. Be brave, I love you♡ -Genevieve 2022
