Letter from future me to myself

Dear Vienna,

This letter is to inform you that one day, you will be successful! Until you reach this point, you need to participate in a journey called ‘life’. In this letter, I have given you advice on how to deal with your current situations.

Have the courage to tackle any feelings of self-doubt and self-criticism, as these can poison some of the best years of your life. It is not wrong to be self-assured and happy with yourself. You are a strong person with a bright future, do not let little things get in your way. Always keep your eyes on the main goal. Do not worry what other people think. Do not let others stop you from doing things.

Group work can be hard but cherish your relationships and interactions with people and squeeze every drop out of them, even when it can be exhausting. You can learn a lot from interactions with others, so make sure you take the time to listen and learn. It may not seem like you’re getting anywhere with group work, but it is helping you develop skills you will need in your future career. Always make sure you stay true to yourself and your morals.

Live without boundaries. Go a step further than you are comfortable with and see the excitement and fulfilment it brings you, as well as the satisfaction at the end of your life that you grabbed life rather than sat by and let it happen.

Sincerely,

Future Vienna Smith
