The Daily Write
A Letter to my Future Self
I hope you’re doing well.
June 16th: Write a letter to give to yourself 5 years from now.
Dear Future Me,
I’m sitting on the couch in the small apartment we got for our senior year of college.
As I write this, I have no idea what the future holds except a general idea of what kind of things we like: art, psychology, and writing.
I try not to worry about where you are in the world, and most days I succeed at it. Other days, I succumb to the uncertainty.
Since this is my summer of self-discovery and creative exploration, I have had some time to think. I will share with you some wishes I have for our future.
I hope you are happy most days. I hope you are doing something that you love. I hope that you are still doing things to let your inner child go free.
I hope that you have more people in your life that you love. I hope that you are comfortable exploring the world on your own. I hope that you are truly, and unapologetically yourself. Ideally, you have a better idea of who that is.
I hope you have some pets. I have been wanting a dog so badly, lately.
I hope you take some time to sit in nature and take in the present moment.
Most importantly, I hope that you live each day lighter than the last. I hope you heal and let go. I hope you are free.
Love,
Faith
Key Message: I hope that my future self feels free.
