A letter from May 12, 2026

Dear FutureMe, I know that you're still struggling with the decision to continue your PhD study. If you feel tired at the moment you receive this email, maybe it's time for you to give up the idea and lead a life that eases you. Personally, I hope the futureme can settle down somewhere that she does not need to move anymore. Also, the futureme continues staying healthy, which is the most important asset. For the career, I hope the futureme can find a good partner to work with and gain more public attention. Good luck to the future me!
