Dear future self,

Hey, it’s me! You? I don’t know how to do this or I don’t know how it works but I just wanted to say, I hope you’re doing okay. Have you written your book yet? I mean, you have survived college, right? Gosh, don’t tell me you changed your mind again about what you wanted to be right; I hope not because currently, you are super excited no matter what you choose. Although present you doesn’t know what the future has in hand for us, here are some of my current high hopes for future me. As you read along, know that I am and I always will be proud of whatever you have managed to accomplish! 

MY HIGH HOPES:

I hope you’re genuinely happy.

I hope you’re doing well. 

I hope you’ve managed to figure out the ins and outs of life.

I hope you found the place you picture yourself you would be and hopefully it’s everything you imagined.

I hope you’ve kept all the wonderful people, and the little things in life, at the forefront. 

I hope you kept them close through the good and bad times.

I hope you remind them how important they are and how and they know how grateful you are for them.

I hope your face has aged from all the laughter you’ve spread.

I hope you look back at your past and cannot help but smile at all the confusion and all the silly mistakes.

I hope you carry no regrets and I hope you finally free yourself from all the negativity.

I also hope you’re the same insanely sane person. 

I hope you’re still learning from your past. From me. Don’t be afraid to see when something’s wrong, and don’t be afraid to be wrong at times. Take risks, but wisely. Challenge yourself and reach big. Believe that you can and understand when you can’t. Have faith that things aren’t always as hard as they seem and stay strong when they really are. And most importantly, live your life being you… and no one else’s.
