A letter from May 12, 2023

Dear FutureMe, You've been through a lot, I know. You're turning 26 in three days and you're feeling like you didn't accomplish anything worthwhile in life. You feel you failed as a father, you failed in your relationship with Tim, and you're doing all you can to stay positive. If you're getting this in 2026, it means you found more strength to keep pushing on beyond what you could. It also means you continued our journey on the path of the Tao and found peace. Let go of your past. Dont worry of the future and embrace today, the now! Remember the poems of Guru Laghima, and you'll be fine. It will always be hard. Nothing worthwhile comes easy. But if you made it this far, whats alittle further going to do? Remember: let go your earthly tethers, enter the void. Empty. And become wind.
