A letter from May 23, 2025

Dear FutureMe, Hi! How's your first year as a thomasian? I hope you are doing well. By the time I was writing this, I'm still a lasallian who only wishes for the term to end and start her thomasian journey. So I hope that even if life gets tough you'll remember that now you are living mommy's and your dream. 3 more years till you get that degree!! You can do it Gwen! You've gone through so much and still you are thriving. Please be happy. I'm not sure what you are going through right now but I'm pretty sure you'll overcome it. By that time, is daddy married? haha If yes, cry about it for a day then move on the next day. Yes, it's painful but you've been sad about it throughout your teenage years to the point where you have to give up on your birthday dream and spend your 18th birthday locked in your room without eating the whole day. Now that you are 19, I hope you stopped being bothered and focus on yourselves. They are living their life and you should too. You have your relatives by your side and mommy in heaven who is watching over you. Always motivate yourself and enjoy your college life. Join orgs! Stay strong as well! Remember why you started and love yourself! Mommy would be sad if you don't. I know you've grown to a much better individual. By this time, I hope you get to appreciate the things you have. Go out as well with your friends. Minsan lang ang college life, in a few years you would all be working and living separate lives. If you are tired, that's fine it's inevitable. You are much stronger that you realize! Just remember and look back on how much you've grown and always be happy! Love you Gwen!!!!
