A letter from May 27, 2025

Dear FutureMe, Hey future me, I want you to learn to let go of everything that is no longer for you. Don't lose hope. Pour all your energy into things that actually bring you joy and help you level up. Today, I feel rejected like I'm trapped in a cage, stuck and unable to let out what's inside. Like no matter how hard I try, it feels like the world is chewing me up while I walk. They see what I do but act like I don’t belong. They laugh, but for me, it's painful. I don't know if it is just emotions or maybe they never gave me the chance to grow, to be aware. Even though I feel I'm mature beyond my years, I’m always trying my best just to fit in. But here's the truth fitting in isn't the goal. You’re not here to blend into someone else’s story you’re here to write your own. So stop shrinking yourself to fit spaces that weren’t made for you. Remember, every rejection is just a redirection. Every no, a step closer to your yes. The pain you feel now? That’s fuel. Use it. Let it fire up your hunger to rise higher, to be stronger, and to become the best version of yourself. Keep your head up. Keep grinding. Your breakthrough is closer than you think. This struggle? It’s just the prequel to your glow-up. Trust the process. You got this!! :) -8:07 pm, Valenzuela City, metro manila @ry
