Hey, buddy,
It’s me—well, you, from the future. I know you might find this strange, but there’s so much I want to tell you.
First off, take a deep breath and relax. Things won’t always make sense, but that’s okay. You don’t have to have it all figured out right now. The dreams you’re starting to have? The ones that feel too big or scary? Hold onto them. They’re not too big. You’re capable of more than you realize.
I know sometimes it feels like the world is unfair, or like you’re not enough. Trust me, you are enough. The things that make you different are going to be your greatest strengths. Never let anyone convince you otherwise.
Make mistakes, and don’t beat yourself up about them. Every wrong turn teaches you something valuable, even if it doesn’t feel like it at the time. Be kind to people, but don’t forget to be kind to yourself too.
One more thing: enjoy the small moments. Life isn’t just about the big wins—it’s about laughing with friends, playing your favorite games, and spending time with family. Those moments are priceless.
The road ahead won’t always be easy, but you’ll handle it, one step at a time. I’m proud of you already.
See you in the mirror someday,
Liam (the older, slightly wiser ve
rsion of you)
