The Weight of Hope
Dear Me,
If this letter ever reaches you, it means you're alive and hopefully doing well. I hope life has been kind to you. I hope you’ve made it. Maybe you have a great job or your own business. Maybe you're doing something you love and getting paid well for it. I truly hope you’re successful and happy, because right now, I’m working so hard just for that version of us. Every morning, I wake up at 5:00 AM. I go to college, attend my classes, and try to focus. After that, I go to work at 10:00 AM and stay there for 7 long hours. When I get home, I study again. Sometimes, I forget to eat or just don’t feel like eating. My days are packed, and my nights are short. It’s exhausting. I’ve started drinking black coffee without sugar and strangely, I think I’ve grown to like it. Maybe because it feels like strength in a cup. I don’t have much of a life outside of this routine. My world is mostly my PC monitor, some tabs on the browser, and the sound of keys clicking while I code. It might sound dull, but honestly, I love coding. It gives me purpose. I really hope you still love it too, wherever you are in life now. I said I’m doing well but truthfully, I’m not. I’m tired. Deeply tired. Tired of the pressure, the expectations, the silence. Some days I feel like a loser, like I’m just going through the motions without knowing where I’m going. I walk forward in a straight line, hoping it leads to something better. But the truth is, I feel lost. And sometimes, I don’t know how much longer I can keep going like this. Still, I keep pushing. Because I believe in you. I believe that one day, all this effort will mean something. I’m doing all of this for you the future me. So please, be living the life I can only dream of right now. I hope you’re in love, and I hope you’re loved in return. I hope you smile often, not just for others, but because you’re genuinely happy. I hope you wake up excited about life. I hope you have peace, joy, and freedom all the things I don’t have right now. I hope you’re living fully, laughing deeply, and not carrying the heaviness I feel today.
Please don’t forget me the version of you who never gave up.
With all my love & hopes,
Me.
