A letter from Dec 27, 2024

Dear FutureMe, Happy 16th Birthday! What a year, you battled from anorexia, went to a new school, tried your hardest every single day, and made so many new connections. I am so proud of you for doing what is right for your future self. Even when it gets hard, you never give up, I am so proud of you! I hope this year taught you allot about yourself and that you grew as a person. You deserve all the love in the world, don't let anyone make you feel different than this. Keep pushing and showing up everyday, it will get better, happiness will find you if you keep making the steps. You are 16 now which opens up a world of opportunity: you can legally work and drink. These are two things you have wanted since you were a child (in the best way possible). To be able to release your emotions, and have fun and make memories at parties, and to make your ow money to fund your dreams and ambitions. You are so ambitious and open-minded, trying and keeping these opportunities. You are so conscientious and a perfectionist who ensures she always does the best thing possible. Although you say you don't need a break, be kind to yourself. This is also your own journey and your own life, so do not compare it too much to other's. Try your hardest at school to achieve what you didn't believe you could, and make yourself proud. I am already proud of you if you are trying your hardest, good luck and enjoy and ******* live your summer, you're 16!! I already love you, the world will love you too. Lotts of love and strength, PastMe
