A letter from Apr 16, 2025

Dear FutureMe, Making this on April 16, 2025., I hope you look back on the past month was good, with pride and clarity. As I write this, you’ve just finished G7, and hopefully, you’ve felt accomplished about the progress you've made. How does it feel? Did all the hard work pay off, or was there something unexpected that came up? Either way, I know you’ve been putting in the effort, and that counts for so much. One of the things that’s been on my mind is Yoona. I’m writing this knowing you’re in a relationship with her right now, and I really hope that by the time you read this, you two are still together. I know things can change, and relationships have their ups and downs, but I trust you’ve both been making the effort to stay close, communicate openly, and support each other. You deserve happiness, and so does she. I hope, in these 6 months, you’ve built a bond that only grows stronger. As you’re moving forward, I know you’re probably juggling multiple things—your coding projects, your writing, and your vision for the future. How are they going? Have you been able to keep that passion alive for the things that matter to you, like the RES & REN Cipher Codex? I hope by now, you’ve made some serious strides with that book, bringing your ideas to life and maybe even sharing them with others. Keep pushing forward on that—whether it’s with Skybound: The Edge of Fate or any other creative project you’re diving into, I know it’ll be worth it. But with all that ambition, don’t forget to take care of yourself. Balance is just as important as success. Make sure you’re carving out time for Yoona, your friends, and even some well-earned breaks. You deserve those moments of joy and relaxation. Maybe even more naps (remember those "Is it Time for a Nap?" days?) to recharge and stay grounded. If things haven’t gone exactly as planned, that’s okay. Life has its own rhythm, and sometimes it takes us on paths we didn’t expect. Whatever’s happened, I know you’ve kept pushing forward, and that’s what truly matters. Look back with pride, but also look forward with even more excitement. You’ve got dreams to chase, goals to hit, and an incredible future ahead of you. So, future Ephraim, wherever you are when you read this, keep being the person you’re striving to be. Keep being true to yourself, and keep chasing the things that bring you joy and fulfillment. I hope Yoona is by your side, sharing in those dreams, and that your bond has only gotten stronger. And above all, I hope you’re happy, fulfilled, and continuing to grow. Keep the momentum going. You’ve got this. With all my confidence, Your Past Self
