A letter from Jun 04, 2025

Dear FutureMe, Hi tal! Kamusta man ka diha? Okay ra ka? Gi-send nako ni nga message para mabasa nimo a year from now. Honestly, ga-worry ko ron, what if mag-shift-shift ka ug course kay basin dili diay ka kaangay sa akong mapili karon? Ambot, ga lisod pa gyud ko’g desisyon unsa gyud akong gusto. Basin naglibog pa ka diha ron, or basin naka-settle na ka. Whatever it is, I hope you’re learning to embrace it. Okay ra imong mga grado? Stable imong mental health? Asa na ka karon nga skwelahan? Unsa nga course imong gi-pursue? Ga-boarding house ka or nag-ulian ra ka diri Lugait? NAA NAKAY UYAB? I hope okay ra ka, Tal. Bisan gamay lang nga okay. I hope naka-adjust naka and naka-find naka ug rhythm sa imong bag-ong life. Pero karon, diri sa present, nibalik nasad akong overthinking ug anxiety. Ambot, usahay di ko kasabot sa akong kaugalingon. Pero I’m hoping and praying nga ma-okay ra ang tanan, and unta dili mawala ang mga tao nga importante sa ako. Naa na kay bag-ong na-amiga dira? Naa na kay new circle of friends? Unsa sila? Safe ba ilang presence? Unta they’re the kind of people who bring you closer to God. I really miss praise and worship sessions with people, Tal. That’s one thing I hope you get to experience again. Anyway, diri lang sa taman akong letter. Bisan pa og unsa’y dagan sa imong kinabuhi ron, please trust God always. Trust His timing, His plans, and His ways — even when they don’t make sense. Ayaw kabalaka kung maglibog ka usahay. Basta padayon lang. Slow progress is still progress. You are doing better than you think. And I’m proud of you for not giving up. With all love and hope, Your 18-year-old self, Taltal
