Sincerely, Me


Dear Future Me,

I'd write to Younger Me but she is a long forgotten memory to whom I cannot speak. I refuse to waste my time and look behind on such things.  

But you, you're all that is ahead of me. You're my expectancy, filled with optimistic possibilities.  So please, Future Me, listen and hear in my plea. 

You cannot care what other people think! I know, it's tempting. Let go of the pick ups and let downs, and focus on what you believe. 

You cannot hesitate. Don't wait a minute, don't wait a moment, simply do not wait. Go now! Do what's on your heart today. 

You cannot give up, this one is for the both of us. Don't say, "I'm not enough.", you're capable of more then you can dream of.

You cannot dwell, and do not stay, on things that Current Me is dealing with today. You're older, you're wiser, you're better, so please do not be swayed. Move on and take it day by day. 

Can you do that for me? I know it's not a simple feat... but I believe in what you're going to be. 

I'm proud of you already... You're gonna do great things. 

Sincerely, 

Me
