A letter from Oct 06, 2023

Hey future me! So, just a short recap of what has probably been one of the most fascinating, remarkable years of your life. You are 29 years old, you're about to turn 30, and it's not like you planned every single detail of what's happened this year but it's also not like you didn't plan at all. You had some ideas in your head but just when you read this, I still don't know when that's gonna be, but I want you to remember that you're really proud of you and it's not easy to say (you're actually using the dictate feature in in Microsoft Word) and you're kind of tearing up a little but it's just because you're happy and you are feeling grateful and you're feeling... proud. You are entering your 30s, you are less than three months away from your 30s, two months and a half away from your 30s, and yes, you're scared, yes, you are kind of stressed out about it, but you're reaching your 30s in a really good place. Yes you're single, yes last year someone broke your heart and he recovered faster than you did, but the important thing here is that you did, it doesn't matter how long it took, it doesn't matter how difficult it was for you, you did, and yes, you're looking back grateful because the best thing that could happen relationship-wise was breaking up, was never speaking again with the person who was not good for you. Remember this year you have been saying something that took a while for you to get there but you have been saying: "There were two options: one option was to get into his cage, another option was to get him out of his." You realized very soon that he didn't want to get out of his cage so you would have had to get into it and this year you discovered how freaking much you love being outside of that cage or any cage for that matter. No matter how big it is, no matter how comfortable it may look, no matter how good it feels, it's still a cage, and you're better when you're outside of it. You are feeling happy about it, you are feeling grateful for it and you are feeling just fine. This is a small reminder that you are finishing your 20s in the best way possible, you are enjoying yourself, you are enjoying your beauty, which you hid for a really long time, you are enjoying your adulthood so that's basically what I wanted you to know. You're doing great. Much love.
