Hello friends, On the 16th of April I celebrated my 20th birthday, I got some amazing presents that I am very grateful for from people that I love, oh, so so much. One particular gift stood out from the rest, surprisingly the gift was from me to me. Okay I'll explain, exactly 5 years ago on my 15th birthday I came across a website called Futureme.org. What it does is that it allows you to send letters to yourself in the future, I thought the idea was amazing and decided to go for it. The thing is that the website was under development at the time, which means that I wasn't really sure whether I was going to get it or not. But guess what, I got it. I got it and it's unbelievably cute and embarrassing. 15 years old me thought 20 years old me would have traveled the world and found love, talk about incredibly high expectation. ( although I did find love, a lot of it) . So this post is basically me replying to the sweet, funny, weird and incredibly unrealistic letter I got from myself.
Hello love, It has been a while since we last talked. I wanted to write this little letter to check on you and ask how you are doing. Even though I know. I know you’re feeling shitty , lost and confused. But believe me when I say that in a couple of years, most of the things you’re worrying about right now will be of no importance. Obviously you will still be kind of confused (probably forever) but everything will be much more better. YOU will feel much more better. I know that the last thing you want to hear is some wise pretentious person saying “it gets better” over and over again. You are right but you are also wrong. It doesn’t get better unless you work for it. It doesn’t get better if you lay in bed and cry. It doesn’t get better if you lock yourself in your room and hide your feelings from the rest of world. It doesn’t get better if you don’t do anything about it. You are allowed to grieve, you are allowed to be sad. Do that, but don't let that be who you are, don't let it consume you. You need you alone time I get it, but please don’t push people away. Every once in a while try and let them in, share you feelings and maybe just maybe they can take some of the pain away. Don’t worry about your future too much. Again I know you are going through a rough patch, but you will do just fine, believe me. You'll grow so much. You'll get to go on incredible adventures and meet strangers who will become your people for life. You’ll discover a whole new world. A world you’ll fall in love with. A world you always wanted to exist in. But no spoilers, just wait and see. Now there are a few things I need you to always remember. - LOVE YOURSELF, APPRECIATE YOURSELF AND GET TO KNOW YOURSELF. - Friends come and go. - If someone leaves your life, It’s not because of you. Some people are just not meant to stay. - It’s good to have a comfort zone, but trying new things is even better. Try to do that every now and then. - Some people will hurt you, that’s a given fact. I’m sorry but you have to get over it and move on. - Love. Love wholeheartedly and with passion. Love your family, your friends, or your significant other, it doesn’t matter. Give love to people who deserve it. - Wear sunscreen, ALWAYS. My darling life is beautiful, so live it to the fullest and go after what you want. I love you. You, me, us.
