A letter from Jun 05, 2025

Dear FutureMe, hey girl. how r ya? i truly hope ur doing well. taking ur vitamins. going on walks. eating fruit. sleeping well. u know all the stuff mom tells us to do but we don’t do lol. but more importantly i hope ur more courageous and confident and assertive! i hope u feel stronger and a little bit closer to the person me and younger us always envisioned. ur also graduating university ! congrats shorty ! these past 4 years have not been easy and i KNOW this last semester was rough so good on u for getting through it all. i hope ur going on that eat pray love grad trip we were thinking about doing - i hope ur planning to see the world the way you want to. of course, as u know, my absolute dream is that ur one step closer to figuring out what it is u wanna do for ur career but jesus it’s only been a year since i wrote this so give me a break right? but i hope that once u do, u go for it without looking back. right now im doing the disney program we dreamed of doing and im on week 4 - this experience has been so liberating, inspiring, exciting but also challenging. its been scary at times but i think doing scary things is good for us. i hope u do something next that scares u bc i think we can handle more than we think. i also hope that money is up girl bc getting frickn drained by the mouse rn! now. i don’t know if disney is the route we wanna go but i do want to say, if its something ur still thinking about 1 whole year from now don’t hesitate to do this again. to go through all of it again. some of these ppl r kind of really inspiring and the privilege of being here and contributing to something that’s so special to so many ppl feels incredible. “Disney(TM)” aside, stories and places and experiences that mean this much to ppl is something i know we need to be involved in one day. i hope u have dreams. right now it feels like one day they disappeared and u don’t know where they went in all the mess of covid. i hope ur dreaming of ur life again and are excited about it instead of scared of the great and vast unknown of the future. i hope u listen less to others and listen more to u and have a plan to do what u want. and oh my god i hope ur not sobbing reading this bc im an absolute mess writing this rn - snot bubbles and all. (but if u r, that’s fine too - we have always been like this and its taking me a long time to realize and be ok with it lol) anywho, congratulations. keep going and don’t look back. be brave. be confident. and make me proud - i know u will. …and also ur so welcome this took me way too long to write (and i edited it like a nerd???) but yeah. hope it helps. <3
