A letter from Jan 02, 2026

Dear FutureMe, What are three things I am currently "obsessed" with (songs, shows, hobbies, etc.)? Currently I listen to some j-pop. I haven't really watched any shows. I need to find a hobby What was my proudest moment of the past year? Not really. I've been disappointed with myself and disapprove of how I've been acting. I haven't spent my year to its fullest and wasted a lot of it on pointless things. What is my biggest worry right now? Why? Will it matter in a year? My biggest worry right now is grades and college. It dictates my entire life or influences in some way. It will matter because even if I get older my grades will stay with me because colleges look at freshman year. What is one "scary" or new thing I hope to have the courage to try? One new thing I hope to try is to explore my passion and what I like, maybe join more clubs, and find a community where I can feel happy doing what I like. Did I stick to the habit I promised to start last January? Explain. No. I didn't really stick to the habit I promised to start last January. I hope to be better and improve myself for next year. Who are the people I feel most connected to now? Why? How? I don't really feel connected to anyone. I have friends and family but none of my friends are really that close to me and I don't feel that comfortable talking to my family. What advice / "pep talk" do I need to hear if I’m having a rough day? That I'm allowed to cry and things will be better. What is one thing about my personality I hope won’t change? Wanting to be better What does "success" look like for me at the end of this year? Being happy If I could describe my current self in one word, what would it be? 情けない
