A letter from May 30, 2023

Dear FutureMe, Hi Sylvie! It's been 3 years since I wrote this. I sent this to you after GCSE'S. I will start by hoping all is well with you, your family, and your friends. Now onto you personally. You've always struggled with finding the motivation to do what you must and that guilt that you feel for not doing it and feeling lazy sort of drives you. It pushes you up the steps of life. I want to be a lawyer right now but that may change as I grow older, just as long as I'm happy. Sometimes I feel like a failure, like when my parents walk into my room all they see is a lazy daughter. I know this isn't true (at least I think it's not true...Joking!) and that they're proud of me. But I want to be proud of myself and I've got to be honest I'm not feeling that right now. My grades are good, and I have amazing friends but there is still something missing and it eats away at me all the time because the worst part is that I don't even know what will fill the gap missing. I hope you've figured yourself out by the time you've got this. I don't doubt you (that's sort of a lie). I have high expectations of you and hope you do well in life. Remember the aim is to get a job I enjoy, have a family of my own one day and just live life to its fullest. YOLO (that was cringe). I love you to infinity and beyond. Take care of yourself.
