A letter from Oct 12, 2025

Dear FutureMe, Hello Shayah, I’m the 20 year old version of you. How’s life now? Are you doing well? Because honestly, life right now kind of sucks. You’ve been dealing with a lot of problems, and it feels like you have no one to run to except Ashley. This 20-year-old version of you is just surviving, overthinking that she might have early symptoms of something because of the chest pain she’s been feeling. But if you’re reading this now, maybe it was nothing serious after all. By now, you’ve probably received a lot of birthday greetings, and life might be treating you better. You’re adjusting to new things, and you’re excited about your white coat ceremony, maybe it’s already happening around this time. I hope you’re happy turning 21. I hope you celebrate it with joy and love. I know that being 20 has been a tough phase, but I hope that by the time you’re ending your 20s era, you’ve already done so much for yourself. Happy birthday, Shayah. Be happy, stay healthy, and always remember, I love you.
