A letter from Jan 10, 2023

Dear FutureMe, you don’t have to be perfect, you don’t have to seek validation from others and you don’t need to fit in to feel important. You just need to be you. But most importantly, remember you need to grow, you need to learn, you need to decide for yourself, you need to shine, you need to love, and you need to live. Don’t let anyone hold you down. You have the choice to be whoever you are. Don’t choose defeat. Don’t choose to surrender. Don’t choose to live like everyone else. Don’t choose to be mediocre. I love you!
