A letter from Nov 30, 2025

Dear FutureMe, I hope you are having a great day, beautiful! By the time you’re reading this, I believe you will have graduated with your master’s degree!!!! Look at you — big brain, big blessings, big boss energy. I know you’re still progressing on your goals, but I bet that body is TEA and you’re loving the warm weather again. I hope your sticker business is off the ground and you finally decided what you want to do with baking. And if you chose to just bake for fun and not sell — that’s perfectly okay. Joy first, always. Things You’re Proud Of I hope you’re celebrating yourself more. You used to work so hard without giving yourself credit — I hope you slowed down and finally said, “****, I did that.” I hope you learned to rest without guilt. You deserve softness AND success. Gentle Accountability Are you still meal prepping like a responsible adult, or did you fall off and go feral again? Be honest. Please tell me you’ve kept up walking and staying hydrated, hydrated queen only. Did you ever build a real work–life balance, or are you still arguing with spreadsheets at 9PM? Love + Relationships I hope you’re dating someone who adds to your peace, not your anxiety. And if you’re single, I hope you’re enjoying your own **** company — because she’s elite. If you are with someone, I hope the communication is smooth, the humor is matching, and the nights together are easy. Career + Money Bestie Business Are you still ******* it in analytics? I hope you’re making GOOD money and not letting imposter syndrome drag you by the ankles. I hope you bought yourself something nice — big or small. Past-you wanted you to stop acting like you don’t deserve luxury. Creativity + Baking Whether the bakery is a business or a hobby now, I hope you’re still making something that feels like YOU. And I hope you launched your shirts and stickers the way you dreamed — and that people loved them. Little Joys I hope you’re still watching horror movies with the lights off like you pay the light bill. I hope crawfish season was GOOD to you. I hope you still laugh at dumb memes because you are never too grown for that. A Pep Talk for You Whatever you’re going through right now, I hope you remember this: you have gotten through everything so far. You are allowed to pivot, rest, evolve, and change your mind. I’m proud of you now, and I’ll be proud of you then. With love, Me 🤍
