A letter from May 13, 2025

Dear FutureMe, Remember when you were feeling stuck, making little progress, and always being too harsh on yourself, as usual? Well, you thought you wouldn't get any further towards your goal. Guess what, time has passed and I hope you've been kinder to yourself, and made loads more progress. Remember thinking you'll never get through this tough stage in your life, and slowly chipping away wasn't good enough? It was and is good enough always. Progress, not perfection. Don't let that naughty voice in your brain tell you that you're not good enough, or that you'll never improve your life. You will and you are capable. Put the effort in for yourself. Keep going. You can do it. Maybe you've done it by now or are at least much closer. You can and you will get there. Be kind to yourself. past me.x
