A letter from Jun 05, 2025

Dear FutureMe, hi, love. it's me — your 14 years old self, Kayla, writing this on june 05, 2025. right now, i’m sitting here with a lot on my mind and even more in my heart. i decided to write this letter not just to look back on a specific day — but to remind you of who you were before everything changed, before you grew, healed, transformed, and became someone even more beautiful than who you are today. first, let's talk about the basics — who i am right now, and what makes me happy. my favorite colors are baby pink and purple. i don't know why exactly, but those colors just feel like me. they make me feel light, soft, girly, and peaceful. i find comfort in those colors, like how others find peace in sunsets or warm hugs. they represent the version of me that wants to be loved gently — and love others the same way. i’m currently doing taekwondo, and it's not just a sport or hobby. it's part of my identity. it reminds me that i’m strong, capable, and worthy of discipline and growth. i don't just train my body — i train my mind, too. every kick, every move, every breath teaches me to keep pushing even when i feel like giving up. i hope future me is still doing something that empowers her like this — something that makes her feel alive. now, let's get real for a moment. i struggle. i bite my nails when i’m anxious or stressed. it's a habit i wish i didn't have, but it's my body way of telling me that something's off. it shows that i still feel deeply — that i overthink, that i carry things in silence. i’m not always be strong. sometimes, i cry late night, sometimes i feel invisible, and sometimes i feel like i’m not enough. but even with all that... i’m still here. i’m still standing. and that means something. that means a lot. lately, i’ve been listening to “magnolia” by laufey, and it brings me a kind of peace that's hard to explain. it's soft, emotional, and quiet — just like the parts of me i don't always show. music has always helped me say things i can't say out loud. i hope you, future me, still have songs that make you understood — songs that hold you hand when no one else does. i’ve been through a lot emotionally. some things i won't even put in this letter because they're still raw. but what i will say is this : i’ve loved, i’ve lost, i’ve laughed, i’ve broken, and i’ve kept going. and i’m proud of that. i’m proud of myself, even when i feel like i’m falling apart. to the Kayla reading this on june 05, 2026. i don't know exactly where you are in life, or who you've become. but i hopr you're still gentle with your self. i hope you look in the mirror and love the girl staring back at you. i hope you've learned to forgive yourself for the mistakes, the stumbles, the moments where you didn't know better. i hope you've started seeing the strength in your softness — because you're strong, even when you feel fragile. i hope you've let go of what was never meant for you. i hope you've healed from what broke you. i hope you've grown past the people who made you doubt yourself — snd sorrounded yourself with those who remind you of your worth. i hope you've learnothat walking away from people doesn't make you selfish — it makes you wise. i hope you've made new memories. maybe you've picked up new hobbies. maybe you've met people who changed your life in unexpected ways. maybe you've learned something that reshaped how you see the world. whatever happened, i hope it brought you closer to the person you're meant to be. i hope you still write. i hope you still dream. i hope you still have that little spark in your eyes — the one that make you you. but most of all... i hope you're happy. not just the kind of happy that shows in photos, but the deep, quiet, peaceful kind — the happiness the lives in your heart when you're at peace with yourself. and if you're not okay right now as you're reading this — that's okay too. don't rush yourself. healing is not a race. growth isn't always pretty. sometimes we bloom in silence. sometimes we grow in the dark. just keep going. that's all i ask. keep trying. keep being kind to yourself. keep choosing yourself — even when it's hard. you've come so far, and i’m already so proud of you. PROUD KAAYO KO SA IMOHA KAYLA : )) with all my love, Kayla (your 14 y/o self ^^) written on: june 05, 2025 to be opened: june 05, 2026
