As I scroll through social media, my best friend emerges, pulling several old letters from dusty, small, square, clear plastic boxes. She carries them back and forth before dropping them on my table. I pick up a blue envelope with a label reading "Hello self."
Carefully, I open the sealed pack and reveal a time capsule: parchment rolling paper tied with a bow. Removing the bow, I'm astonished by how much I wrote about myself when I was younger. I'm so excited to learn more about myself.
Reading the words I penned on that old paper brings back memories, helping me regain hope and boosting my self-esteem despite everything I've been through.
I am Blue
Dear future self,
I'm pouring so much love into this letter! My family inspired me to share these thoughts, and I can't wait to hear about your future dreams and ambitions! Today, my teacher truly saved me by blocking a potentially damaging message. It was my first experience witnessing a classmate trying to tarnish my reputation, but thankfully, the teacher intervened, defended me, and reprimanded him. This is a moment that changed my life forever. I can't imagine what would have happened if she hadn't stood up for me and decided to focus on her other duties; my classmate would have crushed my hopes and self-worth. I feel deeply thankful to God, my teacher, and my parents, my classmates who disagree with those bullying, as they play a crucial role in my life and honestly care for me.
I don't have to share my future with you simply because you have an unexpected, grand dream. You're on your path and can pursue whatever you wish. I just want to keep the message simple and sweet.
I want to share some positivity with you. I hope that any negativity doesn't diminish your hopes and desires. You shine with an exceptional. Your natural beauty and individuality distinguish you from everyone else. The universe and nature cherish the rich and varied traits of humanity.
With sincere love and admiration,
My old self
I am Blue
I am ecstatic as I shed tears of joy, thanking the universe for sending a message to the instincts of those who are always by my side. As I hold the old letter, my dearest friend, a purple bird perched on my shoulder, offers me solace through its smile.
I am Blue
