A letter from Jul 08, 2025

Dear FutureMe, Hey you, I know you’re hurting right now. I know you feel like you’re not enough, like you’re always the one who gives but never receives, like you’re always the one left behind. I know how tired you are of trying, of hoping, of holding on to people who don’t always hold back. But listen to me: You are not too much. You are not unlovable. You are not wrong for feeling deeply. It’s okay to miss the people who left. It’s okay to still carry the love for those who’ve outgrown you. It’s okay to cry over friendships that changed and people who forgot. That doesn’t make you weak. It makes you human. I know you’ve been through things that left scars—things you never deserved. I know you saw violence, heard ugly words, felt invisible. But you are not your past. You are not your family’s mistakes. You are not the cruelty of others. Please stay. Even when it hurts. Please wait for the day when you’ll feel the warmth you’ve always given others. Please don’t give up on the girl you used to dream of becoming. You deserve kindness. You deserve peace. You deserve to live. Hold on a little longer, okay?
