A letter from May 26, 2025

dear future fio, i picked this date, your birth month and prolly the end of your first year, ig. can’t believe how far u might’ve come by now. anw, how’s your first year in college? i honestly don’t know what ur feeling today, but i hope it’s not the same heavy stuff u used to carry before. i hope ur breathing a little easier now. i hope ur healing. i hope ur growing into someone u can finally be proud of. it’s okay to make mistakes. pls don’t be too hard on urself. don’t think ur weak or incapable just because things didn’t always go right. ur doing your best, and that’s all u’ve ever needed to do. pls don’t carry guilt for the choices that didn’t turn out the way u wanted—u were just trying to survive, to learn, to grow. and maybe iwasan yung katangahan na decisions ones next time, but even then… it’s part of the process, right?ik adjusting wasn’t easy. maybe it still isn’t. but i believe in u so much. ur past self—me, we’re so proud of how far u’ve come. u made it here. even if no one claps for u, even if no one sees the effort, pls know that i do. i alw will. and if ever u feel like no one’s there for u, pls remember this. u have urself. and u have God. and that’s more than enough. u’re stronger now, i know it. stronger than i ever was. and i hope, with everything in me, that u’re happy with the path we chose. that psych feels right. that college, no matter how messy, has given u something beautiful too. i hope u laugh a lot. i hope u cry only when it’s safe. i hope u love urself a little more every day. and most of all, i hope u never forget how much u deserve everything good. LOVEUU ALW, MY FUTURE FIO! pls keep going. i’m rooting for u. always:))
