Dear Odette (A.K.A Me In 2 Years):
Hey how am I? How are we doing in 2015? Well, right now I am not doing too well as you must know. I'm having a hard time right now, with everything. I just want to know are we feeling the same as we are now? If so I want tell myself, you, not to give up. I know we have been wanting to give up everyday, because is it really all worth it? But it is worth it in the end, because when we get to where we want to be we can smile and say "Hey I did it.".
This is your story. This is our story and we have to finish this story with an ending we can be proud of. Some day we will hear a victory fanfare just for us, but until then you keep on fighting a splendid performance. I know we have the potential and the determination to do great things. So advance onward and maybe some day tell me all about our journey.
Right now these times will try hard to define us and we have to try to keep our head held high, even though we feel several steps behind. I know there is someone out there that has it much worse than us, but we have dreams too of a life we want. I know it may seem like we are failing and may get to the point where we feel beaten, but I want you to know that the hard times will pass. They will pass. I just hope it is not long for us to see them pass.
So when we are on the precipice of defeat please stand up and be strong. Believe in yourself when you feel the pressure of challenges in your wake, and with our sheer endeavor stand and believe you can be strong for us. Do not give up on yourself we can get through this! We are going to make it!
Sincerely,
The you that believes in you.
Odette
