A letter from Dec 21, 2024

Dear FutureMe, (●’◡’●)ﾉ It’s currently 21st December 2024 . I got my results for the practical report. I got a 60. I was aiming for a 70, so I’m feeling a bit worried right now But even in this moment of doubt, I believe in myself. I know I’m capable of putting in the hard work and I’m determined to finish strong. I want you to acknowledge the fact that you’ve been juggling a lot. Between university assignments, graduate applications and the disappointment of rejections, it’s been overwhelming. I’ve been navigating my mental health and trying to stay hopeful despite everything. I want to remind you that even when things feel heavy you’ve shown so much strength just by continuing to push forward. Whatever I end up achieving—a 2.1, a 1st, or a dream job—I want you to know that I’m proud of you. I know how much of a struggle university has been. The late nights, the setbacks and all the moments of doubt—they all led to something incredible. Just making it through this journey is a big achievement and I hope you feel proud too. I hope that as you’re reading this you’re living a life you’re proud of. Maybe you’re thriving in a career you love or maybe you’re continuing to grow in ways that align with your dreams. Whatever it looks like - I hope you’ve learned to trust yourself more, embrace the process and celebrate how far you’ve come. Celebrate the small and big wins ❤︎︎ Your worth isn’t defined by grades, job titles or anyone’s opinions. It’s in the effort you’ve put in, the resilience you’ve shown and the kindness you’ve given to others and yourself. Keep believing in yourself because I do. You’re stronger than you realise and you’re capable of amazing things. I’m rooting for you, always. With love and pride, Your past self :)
