A letter from June 5th, 2024

Dear FutureMe, How is life  going ? seems like you're already grown up. Achieved your dream of growing up, didn't you? your 5 year old self would be happy to see you fr. Are you smiling btw? you should actually! Weren't you the one to say that "Smile a little, it makes you look prettier".*sighs* it's one of those days when I'm feeling all low, (hope you're not feeling the same) seems like life is all about ups and downs. The only difference is that I haven't reached that "UPS" yet, how about you? are you having the life that I've always dreamt about? I wish you are.....
Do things get better though? or it's just we get used to it? I have always wondered about that and I'm still wondering...I wish grandpa was still here to see me growing up... oh well do you still miss him and tear up? I assume that you do since he is your favourite person. How sad it is, isn't it? especially when your favourite person isn't here with you anymore to cheer you up. I hope you found a way to be happy instead of just pretending to be....
please be happy okay? please live your life the way you have always wanted to. Don't forget what you wrote on your 18th birthday. andsmile a little more so that grandpa would be happy to see his granddaughter living her life with a smile (the only motivation I could think of, to be happy and not lose hope).
I'll be writing more now, this is my first ever letter on this platform to my dear future self. I wouldn't have written if I wasn't having one of those days well we all feel emotions deeply when we are sad, don't we? probably that's how I'm able to find the courage to write this to you my future self, just to remind you that don't be sad for too long, who knows till when we could live. life is short yeah? keep smiling till you can :)
