A letter from Mar 10, 2023

Dear FutureMe, This year started off ****** up… Both your parents are diagnosed with cancer, mother is on the expensive therapy and father is in the hospital. Yet still there you are looking for apartments in the Netherlands, as per your masterplan of moving there. Too many pieces were laid out for you to back out now, you feel. You were lost at this time, yet not completely- still you had your fire determined to figure out a way out of this all. How to support your parents yet pursue your own dreams and establish a future potential for your children to be? How to navigate the geopolitical climate optimally in this time of conflict and turmoil? How to navigate the economic landscape when all is f-ed up by inflation and crazy capitalism? But hard times showed you that you’re not alone. You have many smart and generous friends, caring about you and being there for your every step. You will be someone, one day, I’m sure, if you don’t let go of your flame. Wishing you peace and contentment that you so much yearned for these 3 years ago. 😇
