A letter from May 18, 2023

Hi Michelle you have just received your letter from yourself 3 years ago that’s insane. Now you’re 23 struggling but you know you have hope. Also grandma taught you the Korean word for hope but I’ll type it in English for you… heemang it means hope don’t forget. You’re going to be okay you’re about to start a treatment for treatment resistant depression. Who knows if the diagnosis is correct but at least 2020 you was correct on one thing… that I’d make it and I’m gonna continue to push through. Michelle you’re going to make it there’s not way you lose lololol. I’m going to make it. I can do it. You didn’t graduate college or anything but at least you put yourself first. I’m so proud you were able to put you first and do what was best for you bc at 23 that isn’t easy. By the time you get this you’ll be 26. I hope by then your life is better or more stable quite honestly. We’re always rooting for ourself we can do it. I hope in 3 years you’ll read this and feel comfort like I did from the 2020 letter. Life will get better you can do it!! Also still no bf since the 2020 letter but I did meet someone who helped restore my view on love :). I still didn’t graduate but that’s okay bc you put yourself first thank god. Proud of you for asking for help and letting your family in. I pray the treatment helps and hope by then you understand your boundaries better bc you deserve to be happy. I love you Michelle. It’s gonna be okay. Even if the letter is wrong and we’re not where we are at just know god is with you. He will not leave he will meet you and lead you.. keep hope pls Michelle you can do it. Much love you got this I love you Michelle. -Michelle 5/18/2023
