A letter from December 16th, 2017

Dear FutureMe, If you've made it this far in life, congratulations. I hope with all my heart that you have found something that you love doing. I pray that you have found a way to take care of yourself, whether that is in therapy or nature, maybe even both. I hope that you are surrounded with good friends, but more importantly, good family. While I do hope that you have found your soulmate at this point, I long even more for you to know that it is okay if you haven't. However, I do hope you know that I am not happy if you have not put yourself out there. I wish for you to find someone to confide in; family, friends, therapist. (I think there's a reoccurring theme there...) What you're holding inside isn't healthy, and I hope it hasn't festered inside you. We both know how dangerous that can get. I pray, more than anything though, that you are happy and healthy. Keep it up. You've survived this long, I know you can keep going. With love, M
