A letter from October 15th, 2023

Hi, Even though you may be struggling you have got this! This is all you have ever wanted in life. You have made it this far. Any self doubt will be worth it when you reach the finish line. I hope you have not only learned that if you can’t change how situations are then they aren’t ment to be changed. You have recently gone though a breakup and despite it hurting that much you didn’t eat for days you have picked yourself up. PLEASE don’t go back to him. Even if he begs. You are worth more than half the effort he put in. You are worth more than being broken up with when he did. But please don’t let his actions reflect future relationships. You are worth more than putting your happiness into someone else’s hands. I hope take time to find your own happiness. Even though it will take time to build yourself up you will eventually do it! In 2026 we should have our degree and applying to your future jobs. I’m just happy to say we did it! All the self doubt and feelings of failure didn’t put you down and I love that for you! I hope being 22 treats you so well. How cool is it that I’ll have my future job at 22?!?!? I hope Life is treating you well and that you have learned to blossom. In 3 years I feel like nana won’t be here anymore so I hope you spent all the time you have with her. Reading one of my old letters from here and I said ‘I just want to feel like I’m worth something’ make her proud. I’m sure you already have made everyone proud but make note that you did this. You achieved what you needed and got there. I love you so much I hope you have learned to love yourself🫶 - c.
