A letter from Mar 26, 2024

hello futureme, you must be in your second year of uni now, and if everything went according to plan and you got into the programme you wanted, you must be in the midst of the busiest and most hectic year of your entire uni career. and if things didn't go according to plan, then well, I'm sure you'll be okay in the end. you've always had a special talent for making the best out of every situation, and things always turned out well for you because of it. I love that about you. I hope you're doing great in uni! I hope you've retained your passion and love for history and education even after all these years. it's crazy to think that just four years ago, we didn't think you would survive for long enough to even complete your A levels, and yet, look at you now! you've always been an incredibly strong person. in fact, and I mean this with my whole heart when I say this, you are the most resilient person I've ever known. your ability to bounce back and adapt in the face of adversity forever amazes me. if you're currently feeling ****** about anything or anyone, I need you to know that *this too shall pass*. things don't always go the way you want them to and screw-ups happen, there is absolutely zero need to beat yourself up over it. just learn, adapt, overcome and grow. I cannot tell you how incredibly proud I am of you for how far you've gotten and how much you've grown, especially with what little help was given to you from those who were meant to be your guiding light and haven. no matter what happens, no matter how the world burns and crashes, you forever will be my favourite person, and I'll stand by your side and love you with my entire soul and being for however long we exist. with lots of love, little you :)
