A letter from Apr 23, 2025

Dear Future Me, I hope you're reading this with a full heart and a calm mind. Right now, I’m finally healing and doing it alone. I’ve been through a lot — emotionally, mentally, and spiritually in the last year. I’ve let go of someone who wasn’t meant to stay, and even though it hurt deeply, I chose myself. That choice was hard, but I’m proud of the strength it took. This past year, I have been hurt by many individuals who made me question my self-worth, including friends who I thought would forever be in my life and toxic men. Recently, I was hurt by someone who I thought could be the one and had so much potential, but like most people in my life, he too left. There are days when I still think about him, and wonder why it all unfolded the way it did. But more and more, I’m finding peace in the not knowing. I’m learning to trust the universe, to believe that what’s for me will never miss me, and what missed me was never for me. I’m working on giving myself the love I used to look for in others — through small joys like flowers, solo trips, writing, and reminding myself that I am enough. I am finally filling my own cup. I want to thank you, future me, for holding onto hope and for becoming the version of me I always dreamed of — confident, at peace, and always full of love. I hope by the time you read this: * You’ve created a life that feels soft and safe, and fulfilling. * You’re surrounded by people who see your heart clearly. * You laugh often, love deeply, and rest without guilt. * And most of all — I hope you’re truly happy and you’re proud of the girl who wrote this. She fought for you. Always remember, you are the sun and the light of the universe. With so much love, Me
