A letter from Feb 15th, 2022

Dear FutureMe, Hi Coleen, I hope when you read this, you're no longer the same introverted, shy, and awkward girl who you used to be. I want you to be confident. I want you to reach the highest level of confidence—not to the point of arrogance, though. Keep yourself humbled. I just want you to overcome your fear of socializing with other people other than your close friends. Please, don't choose who to bond with. It's completely okay, but you need to interact with people you are not familiar with. That way, you can gain confidence. Please? Stop being so insecure about your physical appearance. You're very pretty on your own. Please start a new life. Never dwell on the past but never forget the people in your past and the good memories because they helped you become who you are today! If it weren't for them, you'd probably be the same super awkward and ignorant person you were in grade 7 hahaha. And please do not be so hard-headed and stubborn. Listen to your parents!!! Hahaha. Don't disappoint me, please :') Don't be the same girl I am today. That's probably what I fear the most. I will help you become the best version of yourself. I love you so much and I'm very proud of you. Never give up on life.
