Dear Future Self,
I hope you look back and remember the long road that led you to where you currently are. It was a very hard road to travel with many car-eating potholes, but you got by it. Remember when you went 3000 miles to college, and all that you had learned from the experience even though the lessons were for life and not academia. You met your first -- and hopefully not your only -- love. He shattered your heart into a million pieces until you thought you would die, but you lived.
In your desperate attempt to forget your first love, you ran right into the arms of Mr Wrong and suffered dearly for it. At least you escaped by transferring to a college closer to home where you had the support of your mother to protect you. Remember the emotional problems that plagued you...the low self-esteemed you battled. You thought your life came to an end the day you were suspended from college. With a lot of help and soul-searching, you managed to get back into college and turn your life around.
As I write this letter to you now, I'm standing at the edge of a turning point in our lives. I'm finally getting my undergraduates and have applied to Grad School. Even after all the successes I have trailed behind me since the suspension, I'm still unsure that I'll be accepted. I'm sorry to admit that I'm afraid to succeed. All I can think about is what might go wrong.
I hope that your smiling remembering this silly fear. Right now, you're sitting at a desk, in your office or at home, and you have a bright trail of success trailing you as well. Keep me in mind as you continue succeeding in everything you do. Always be brave in everything you set your mind to. Your road is smoother now, but always remember the bumps and car-eating potholes you have overcome.
Yours,
