Dear Future Self,
You didn't always have it all figured out, and you probably still don't, but here's what I hope for you. I hope you're happy most of all. I hope you're chasing your dreams. I hope you're in love. I hope your relationships with your family are strong. I hope you're bettering yourself for your future children or your already children. I hope you've reached your job goals or are working on it. I hope you have good friends and strong supports. I've always known how strong willed you are (not always for the good), so I know you're doing just fine.
Future Self, I've hoped you've learned as much as you could've possibly learned in your years. I hope you've found the strength to get out of bed every day and do something worthwhile. I hope life has never been too hard, and I hope you've always kept your chin up. Even when it seems like nothing can go right for you, God is protecting you and doing everything in his good will.
I hope you're thinking about or already have a family. I know that's always been one of your main goals in life. I hope you're being or preparing to be the best mother you can be. I hope you're patient. I hope you're loving. I hope you're understanding. Even in the hardest of times. I hope you and your husband see eye to eye. You've been working so hard for this, so keep working.
I hope you've reached your education and career goals. I hope you're happily teaching or going to school to further your education. I know you haven't always had it figured out as far as what you're doing in life, but I hope you've found contentment or you're still trying to figure it out. Don't ever settle if you're not happy. I've always known everything is going to work out in good time. No one can judge you for what you're doing now, because it is not the end.
I hope you've made good choices. I hope you never gave up on being an outstanding person. Stay true to yourself always. Seek the most noble choice, and do it, no matter how hard. Never settle for something less than what you're worth. You have the power to decide what you're worth. Never stop seeking God. Never stop being kind to His people.
Finally, I hope you've figured out who is worth it in your life. Sure everyone is worth something. But I hope you've decided on who is closest to you. I hope you've realized how much your family cares about you. I hope you've picked a good partner. I hope you've picked good friends. I hope you don't struggle with knowing the character of the people closest to you. I hope you always have someone to talk to and you never feel lonely. I hope you know that you're your best support.
Work hard. Never stop bettering yourself.
Love, Current, Hopeful Self
