A letter from Jul 18, 2023

Dear FutureMe, Wow! U're 20 years old already? Time flies really fast. Anyway, u should read this. You've always love writing letters for others, i think it's time for me to write for u, my human. It's currently 11:11 pm, listening to Cigarettes after ***, this not intentional to write at this exact time, it's like fate. The inspiration in this website says "A letter of encouragement for your future self", well i don't know exactly how to encourage u. But I saw ur progress, u're slowly becoming the better version of urself, that's good, I'm so proud of u. Don't rush anything, it will only ruin u. I know it's hard for u to make decisions, take ur time so u won't regret that decision. Never stop being kind to others, honey, most especially to urself, u can't give something to others what u don't have. Stop pretending, stop pretending like it doesn't hurt, stop pretending like u're okay. U don't know what to do in the future, u were so sure about ur dreams when u were young, but why happened? Probably because of that pandemic, it's all ruined:( U wanted to be a chef someday because u love to cook like ur mama and papa, u even ask papa when he's cooking something "unsa imong lutoon pa?". Anyway, keep that dream with u, u still have many things ahead. Don't stop dreaming, and when u dream something, achieve it if u really want it, so do something to achieve that dream, okay? U're really doing better than before, it feels so good. I love how u're keeping close to people who are close to God, u changed for good. U like to dance, right? U should use that talent to show God what He gave to u. Always ask Him for guidance, protection, and love. Always pray for urself and others, always do everything with faith and love. Wherever u may be, always thank Him. It's okay to ask for help, don't keep ur burdens with u alone, throw it all to God and he will keep u safe. "No one will praise u for bottling ur pain up. So just cry when u feel like it. Emotions are like that. If u hide them, u're the only one who suffers, and no one will commend u for it." Continue to be better until u become the best version of urself. I will always be proud of u even if no one will. Always look for a bright side. Oh, it's 12:17 am already, i actually took a lot of time for this, didn't I. God bless u, my human. Thank u for not giving up, I love u. Happy Birthday!!
