Dear Future Self,
I hope when you read this, you are okay. You are not sad or anxious or scared. I hope you accomplished everything you wanted to accomplish. I can only hope, for I don’t know what the future holds.
Future self, take a deep breath and think of all the good memories
Dear Future Self,
Whatever you’re doing right now, stop. Go outside. Call your parents (if you’re lucky enough that they’re both still here).
Take a moment and go have yourself a proper personal day. And don’t you dare feel guilty for taking the time for yourself.
These past years have been a crazy one. You learned what love means, the lengths to which friendship can be tested (and lost) but here you are living your best life just like you dreamed of
Future self, dreams do come to pass and they are valid
Dear Future Self,
Take a breath. Look down at your two feet. Where are they right now? Look around you. Do you see nature? Go touch the leaves. Pick a flower and deeply inhale its beautiful fragrance. Do you hear the birds?
Stop and take a moment to go listen to their music, because not everyone is so fortunate enough to be able to listen to them
Future self, be thankful for where you are right now
Dear Future Self,
I hope your friends are doing well, I hope you still have the same friends you have had. I hope you still remember it’s the quality of friends and not the quantity.
If you still have at least one of the same friends, I want you to contact them right now and tell them how much you appreciate them for staying in your life this long.
I hope you made good memories over the years with the friends you have now. I want you to appreciate what little moments we have with friends before they’re gone.
I want you to remember who they were before life changed them. I hope you laughed, as well as cried with them. Those are the friends that stay together.
For the friends that left, I hope you’re still on good terms with them. Don’t burn your bridges, they have influenced you and kind of took a part in who you are today. Thank them for being your friend, for staying in the toughest of times, for being a part of your life, for helping you grow and mature.
Future self, be grateful for the friends you have in your life at the moment
Dear Future Self,
I hope you are still close with your family. No matter what they say or do, they are still your family. Don’t let an argument or a fight stand in the way of talking to them. I hope mom and dad are okay and are doing well physically, emotionally, and mentally.
Future self, Family comes before anything in Life
Dear Future Self,
I hope you found someone who you trust, someone who will always be there for you. I hope he is your best friend, I hope he takes care of you and protects you.
Take care of him, love him for all that he is. Tell him how much you appreciate him for staying in your life. Show him that you care. Be with him through all the ups and downs that life throws at you guys.
Relationships only stay strong because of trust, loyalty, and the strength to hold on even when it seems hard to.
Future self, find love and I pray the love you choose doesn’t harm you
Dear Future Self,
I hope you are happy, truly, genuinely happy. Happy with your life, your friends, family, happy with yourself. I hope you are successful with your career, life, social life, as well as your accomplishments and goals.
I hope you take risks and still end up happy, no matter what happened in the end. I hope you lost as well as found something. I hope you become happy with your choices, your goals, as well as your failures.
Future self, I wish you all the happiness in life and I hope you are truly happy wherever you are
With Love,
Your Younger self
