A letter from Feb 24, 2025

Hello Jeko! It’s me—you. Well, you from the past. I’m writing this on February 24, 2025, at exactly 2:36 PM. I don’t know exactly where you are right now, what you’re doing, or how life has turned out for you, but I just want to take a moment to talk to you. First of all, I hope you’re smiling as you read this. I hope life has been kinder to you, and if it hasn’t, I hope you’ve continued to be the strong, resilient person I know you are. You’ve come so far, and I just want to remind you that every decision you made, every hardship you endured, was all part of the process. Every sleepless night, every tear, every moment of doubt—it wasn’t for nothing. It was all leading you here, to where you are now. And I truly believe that wherever you are, you’re in a much better place than I am right now, because I know how determined you are to reach the life we’ve always dreamed of. I want you to take a moment to breathe and look around. Appreciate what you have, the people who are with you, and the version of yourself that you have become. No matter how far you’ve come, I want you to always remember why you started. Remember that kid who used to dream big, who refused to settle for anything less, who kept pushing forward no matter how hard things got. That’s you. That’s us. And I know, without a doubt, that you never gave up. If things are tough right now, just know that you’ve been through worse, and you survived. You’ve always found a way, and you always will. You are capable, strong, and worthy of everything good in this world. I don’t know if you’re reading this in the exact moment you need to hear it, but if you are—keep going. Keep fighting. Keep proving to yourself that you are meant for greatness. Because you are. I believe in you, and I always will. Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing—I just hope you’re happy. That’s all I ever wanted for us. Take care, Jeko. Keep making us proud. – Your Past Self 💙
