Dear me that I haven't met yet,
You are the future of present me that I can only hope is a better version. Me that will be created only after the present me has gone silent. A me that isn't tainted by all the negative of today, a me that is hopefully happier. I can only hope that the me I am today make all the right choices that allow for you to flourish tomorrow. I hope the me today is able to tuck yesterday me into a silent coffin only to be heard in our memories.
But I am not just writing to me all my hopes and dreams instead I wanted to ask how is life going? Did I finally figure out how to quick the demons so that I can hear the joys of life? Have I finally found my place in this chaos or are we still wondering about with nothing but our dreams as fuel? Perhaps I finally opened my eyes no longer needing these dreams to keep me moving because I found something better to hope for?
I just really wanted to say to the me I haven't met yet please remember this me and the battles I have won. I know once present me is placed in the coffin of silence we will shut the lid and bury us with hopes that I become the foundation to the new me, but please don't forget me. These battles may be pointless to everyone else but to me, it will be what creates you. Remember me if only to care for the foundation so that it doesn't crack and fall. I wish this me could meet you so that you could say it will be okay and it will actually mean something.
With all the love and dreams I can share
Present me
