This beautiful letter is to the future version of  rose272054:

Dear Future me,

I hope this letter finds you well, happy, and fulfilled. As I write to you from the present moment, I find myself grappling with a lot of emotions & uncertainties. How are you doing? Are you living a life you love? I hope you found a place that makes you happy.

Right now, I'm in a place where I often put on a smile, & I'm always eager to lend a helping hand to others. It's become almost second nature for me to hide the struggles that linger inside of me. I wonder if you've found a way to be more open about my emotions or if you are still carrying the weight of silent battles.

There are times when I feel like I'm going nowhere, despite putting in my best effort. It's as if I'm trying hard for reasons that I don't know. The days seem to blend together, & the happiness that I once felt about the things I love are no longer there. Or at least less of it, if that makes sense. Growing older has brought a sense of standstill, &I find myself going through the motions with a mask on.

Do you remember this feeling? Have you found a way to break free from the cycle that makes each day feel like a repetition of the last? I'm writing to you, hoping that you've discovered a path that has made you feel the most happiness. I hope you have overcome the struggles that I am currently feeling.

But I believe in my strength. So I'm sure you are happy in the future. I remind myself that every step I take, no matter how small, is just something that adds to my personal growth & will hopefully make me stronger.

As you read these words, know that the present me is cheering you on. I really hope that you have found yourself and broke free from this feeling. If you've found a place for yourself—a place where you belong and is happy—I want to hear all about it.

Anyways, the present me is cheering you on because I know you'll do just fine!
