I am still young as of the moment and I don't know what the future awaits to me but I am certain whatever it is will be the outcome of my current actions.
I've read some journal about writing letters to their future self and I got interested in it because why not? I would like to read the letter I made for myself in the future. My life is not that hard as of the moment unlike others because as of now my parents are doing their best for me to have a bright future but we know life is full of ups and downs and I want to remind myself in this way, writing a letter for my future self.

Dear Future Self,
Hello there! First of all I would like to congratulate you for coming this far, that you'll be able to read this letter I made for us (self). It's not an easy ride, but rather a rollercoaster ride before we reach this far and I am pretty sure it will continue as life was never take highways for an easy journey, yet I am sure we will do good as we have come this far.
As of the moment while I wrote this letter, you haven't encountered huge set backs in life yet. The only thing that bothers you is that your mom, that she's strict with you always implementing this and that but she always tried to explain to us why she did that it's for your “sake”. Also dad is away because he works at the sea, although you are not lonely because you have your mom beside you always and your grannies but still it feels like you are missing something, and that is “fathers comfort”.
You are also aware that your dad loves you and cares for you a lot, your mom keeps reminding you that. She even tell you a story of how your dad took care of you when you were little, that you are closer to him than your mom. You even saw the photos of you and your dad, how he held you in his arms, how his eyes glow with admiration by looking at you.
But still you felt there is something missing, it's when you need comfort when your mom was annoyed by your naughtiness. You are also aware that you are a brat sometimes but you cannot stop it because you want attention, full attention from your mom and dad. Maybe it's just a normal thing to act this way or maybe not, you don't know and you are confused, probably because you are now at the confusion stage, confused of what you should pursue or take. Ah, teen-agers dilemma!
You've done many mistakes that is why your mom always try to correct you, sometimes you rebel from her lectures but in the end you'll realize that she was right and indeed “mothers knows best” and you've learned your lessons and try your best to do better next time.
I just want you to know that life is never been an easy journey but whatever actions you may take as of the moment will be the reflection of your future, and I am glad you surpass all the challenges you've faced.
I am pretty sure whatever trials may come to your way, you can conquer it. Your mom thought you so hard how to be tough because the world will never give exception to naive and weak ones.
Your mom is a fighter for she had been through a lot and through her experiences she has molded you to become a warrior as well.
I want to know, I am proud that you have come this far. You are the lead of your own role. Congratulations, stay strong and keep fighting! Until next time...
Yours truly,
Hart05
Oh, you have come this far huh? Anyway thank you for spending your 3 minutes reading this stuff. Actually I don't know what to write yet, I had a little pressure after the warm welcome attention that I got on my introduction post. I don't know if I give justice to this letter I made for my future self. But I hope I can write interesting article sooner.
How about you, have written something for your future self?
Before I end this I would like to thanks again the people who welcome me and help me, Eybyoung for making short post to introduce me, SimonBruzzi fro generous tips, Zhyne06 for the generous tip as well and the rest thank you so much, if I can have a bright leap of my faith here I will surely give back to the community.
Thank you for reading!

I'm not yet ready to write a letter to myself. Maybe soon. Anyway, that's a really great letter you have for yourself. I guess you should try making another one after 10 years. 😉
