A letter from Aug 31, 2023

Dear 26-year-old, I hope this letter finds you in a much happier and brighter place in life. As I sit here, writing to you from a point of pain and desperation, I want you to know that things do get better. You may not believe it right now, but trust me, you will shine like a diamond in the near future. I know how deeply hurt you are by the person you trusted. It feels like a piece of your heart has been torn away, leaving an emptiness that seems impossible to fill. But please remember, this pain will not define you. You will heal, slowly but surely, and you will come out stronger on the other side. Leaving your job due to being bullied was a brave decision. It took immense strength to walk away from a toxic environment, even if it meant being unemployed for a period of time. But don't worry, my dear. You will find the job you've been dreaming of soon afterward. You will be recognized for your skills and dedication, and even be awarded a scholarship to further your education. Your career will flourish, and you will finally feel a sense of fulfillment and accomplishment. You will no longer be surrounded by people who betray and use you. Instead, you will attract a circle of friends who empower, mentor, and support you. These people will have kind hearts and genuine compassion, restoring your faith in humanity. You will learn what it truly means to be loved, and you will reciprocate that love by spreading warmth and positivity to the world around you. And oh, the places you will go! You will travel to new and exciting destinations, exploring cultures and immersing yourself in the beauty of this vast world. Your smile will radiate the joy within you, and your happiness will be contagious to those around you. I know it's hard to believe all this right now, when your present seems so bleak. But keep holding on, my dear. The journey to happiness may be full of hurdles, but trust me when I say that it will be worth it. You are so much stronger and more resilient than you realize. Take care of yourself, be patient, and never lose hope. You are destined for greatness, my dear 26-year-old. Your dreams and visions will indeed come true. With love and support, Your 24-year-old self
