A letter from February 19th, 2024

Dear FutureMe,
Hey ***********. how you doing? We celebrated our 23rd birthday about a month ago in JAMACIAAAAAA. It was beautiful and you were so happy to cross off "spend birthday in a different country" off your bucket list. I hope you're still crossing off things on that list... no matter your age. How are you feeling... genuinely? right now you're still a adult probation officer and you love it! you're still figuring out what school you're gonna go to to get your MA in Psychotherapy. You're terrified because you don't know if you'll be good at it. I think you'll do fantastic at it. I'm guessing you still love working with offenders and anything crime related. You'll figure out a way to mix the two without limiting yourself. I hope you're still building yourself and chasing the life you've always dreamed of living. I know you are. You have a life you wish to achieve and you'll get it.. by any means necessary. You may or may not have your MA yet... I'm sure you do. I'm proud of you regardless. ***** YOURE 25 WHAT THE ****???? how has that differed from 23? Probably not much. Anyway, I know you're still determined and strong as ever. How has life been? what's different? You and Noah live together at mom's house.. he's been talking/hinting about marriage & proposals a lot.... BRRRPP LOOOOL maybe we're engaged by this point. He always stands on business so I'm sure we are. 
we've been chilling. just trying to develop while navigate through life. I hope you're travelling much more and you've been to so many places :) especially the ones you've always dreamed of going to (France, England, Los Angeles, New York, Mexico, Switzerland, Italy...)
Remember to take a moment and look around sometimes because life moves pretty fast... you can miss it, if you don't. We struggle with that a lot. Remember you're THAT ***** and you've always been that *****. Despite all the odds.... you're a fighter. I love you <3
— Your 23 year old self.
