A letter from December 4th, 2025

Time Travelled — 6 months

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, 
Its been quite a rollercoaster ride these past few weeks including a situation with a girl i recently dated. Dating her gave me trauma knowing that i got played. (my rizz game sucks) shes dating my former coworker. I feel like this shifted my sense of looking for love elsewhere. Living in nyc definetly has its competitiveness for lots of things in life but definetly not where i want to be at this point. I know that my financial situation is also **** and havent recovered fully from my layoff earlier this year, and i surely want to make it a goal to get back on my feet. I really dont want to give up and lose hope, recently ive been meditating and writing gratitude not as a form of manifestation but to actually feel present and feel content with what i have. Ive done a lot well in my boxing practice which is a huge plus for my fitness goals this year but still far behind when it comes to looking for love and meaning in work just to make ends meet. 

Financial goals havent been met and so on and so forth. i know that this will take lots of work to get there but i really think that anything is possible. By the time i see this message in the future, i really would like to see some form of change. it dosent have to be a lot but just to move the needle and make progress. its exhausting trying to bust my *** just to make ends meet. (hey, at least i dont have kids just yet but still greatful that im still alive and breathing). i have huge faith in myself and will continue to document my journey in self development.
if anyone reads this and struggles at this time of age as a millenial man. (you got this)

-Some random new yorker
