A letter from Sep 4th, 2021

Dear FutureMe, 2020 was a nice try. You wanted to achieve one of our main goals that year. But it didn't go as planned. Same as 2021. I know we have few months left but I decided to not take the board exam and I'm totally okay with that. That's a scary decision I've made because it's you who would take the consequences but I can manage it, we will. 2021 wasn't really unproductive because you graduated this year even though it takes longer. To tell you honestly, I am not really happy when in fact, I should be. Maybe that's because of this global pandemic which affect every aspects of my life. Maybe I am blaming the situation but I'll wait for you to tell me something sure about this and I hope that's what I am thinking about right now - the brighter side of this whole situation. I am altering my mindset of what's happening to my life now, to where I am in. I keep believing this is a blessing in disguise. I try hard to feel it. I keep looking at simple things, family, my home, nature, my emotional productivity, never ending journals, self talk and unending prayers and I think these help a lot. Please agree with me. This is the last month of the year 2022 and I want you to know how proud I am and that I'm thankful you're on your own feet ready to step forward to 2023 for more responsibilities, challenges and victories. You've tried again and we will keep on trying. You reached what we have prayed for, what we have fought in silent battles, what we desperately cried to the Lord. And now, we will still keep on trying to be better than this year. We will try for the rest of our life. No quitting. We will let our visions make sense. If ever this virus keeps spreading until now in there, I hope it is not stopping you from reaching your dreams, I really hope you won't give up the gift stored in you to help others. I really want you to make use of this. Let it out, don't just keep it in. I am not helpless and hopeless, right? Remember, always and forever God loves us and I love you! All the best, Gail ♡
