A letter from Sep 08, 2023

Dear FutureMe, I am so proud of you Farzana! I'm proud of everything you've achieved on your own. There's times where you look at your surroundings and feel depressed by what's happening around you. BUT, you should not focus on that. Rather, you should be ensuring you are in the best position career wise, through focusing 2X as hard this academic year at university - balancing grades with extracurriculars. I want you to study a Masters degree at Oxford/Cambridge, for your parents but yourself too. I'm glad you don't spend your time thinking about your past achievements i.e travelling to a completely different country by yourself. Follow your dreams. Don't say you will edit vlogs or make time for YouTube - JUST DO IT! If you want that future you dreamed of since 11, and the one your mother is supporting you to obtain, then stop procrastinating and shifting your priorities and focusing more on work. You left Argos, and you will be leaving Explore Learning as of yesterday. JUST EDIT THOSE VLOGS. Yes, its difficult and yes its hard to motivate yourself to do so, but you're in control of your time and your channels, and commitments outside of uni like work and volunteering. If this letter is really coming from your heart, then YOU won't have to hope for this future you want in two years time. Instead, you will be living in it, and focusing on how you can make it better.
