A letter to my future self. - 1302
Dear Madison,​
It's me (or you.) I just want to let you know how proud I am of you for how far you have come. If you saw me right now, you probably wouldn't even recognize me. You have truly grown into the person you never thought you would be good enough to be. I am still working on a few things, but I know I will fully get there eventually.
Not only am I proud of you for who you are right now, but I am just proud that you have made it this far without fully giving up. I know you haven't had your best moments, but trust me, they're coming. They're coming quick too. Currently as I write this, I am 19. I am enrolled in Lone star, I am a week away from completing my second semester. I still have the business.
I hope that you have achieved some goals, and gotten to the place I am working hard towards. My current life goals right now are to move out, grow the business, and love myself. Maybe even find a boyfriend too, haha. I hope you are in a good spot right now. I currently envision you reading this on your couch in your apartment, maybe with a dog in your lap.
I want you to remember what gets me through everything currently. My favorite motto is "storms don't last." Surely, you have found a better one but that is what I am sticking with right now. It reminds me to take a deep breath, and remember whatever I am going through is not permanent.
I hope you and Kendall are still close, along with Kaylee. Grandma Maxine is 99, so she is doing good. Hanging in there at least. Dad is my best friend, I wouldn't be the person I am today without him. Hopefully you still have the business, if not you sold it for a lot of money and you are now the CEO of a big cooperation... or retired by 20 haha.
Stay true to yourself. I have worked my ass of to get you to the person you are. Don't forget where you came from and what you have been through. Be grateful for all the things I went through that shaped us into the person we are today.
You are beautiful, you are loved, you are strong, and you are worth it.
I love you,
-You 2024
A letter to my past self. -1301
Dear Madison,​
It's me (or you.) I just want to let you know how proud I am of you for how far you have come. If you saw me right now, you probably wouldn't even recognize me. You have truly grown into the person you never thought you would be good enough to be. I am still working on a few things, but I know I will fully get there eventually.
Not only am I proud of you for who you are right now, but I am just proud that you have made it this far without fully giving up. I know you haven't had your best moments, but trust me, they're coming. They're coming quick too. Currently as I write this, I am 18. I am enrolled in Lone star, I am a week away from completing my first semester. I own my own business! Kendall co-owns it with you! We have TWO trucks, and actually might be looking to buy a third! I am paying for all of my classes myself, thanks to the business.
Grandma Maxine is my best friend. She finally moved here, and she lives near Kendalls school (Kendall is in private school now and she is THRIVING there!) I go visit her at least twice a week, and I take her to get her nails done at least once a month!
My other best friend is Kendall. Her and I are twin flames. I cannot go anywhere or do anything without her. She is my light. Sometimes, I wish we were truly twins. (Please don't tell anyone I admitted that.) I don't know where I would be without her. I definitely wouldn't be who I am right now. Please, be a little nicer to her. When she comes into your room after school to tell you what she's going through and about her day, don't shut her out. I regret that I treated her like that every single day. But I promise I make up to her for it by taking her on weekly chiller bee runs and getting her "crispy dr.pepper's"!
As of right now, I really enjoy college, but I do want to move out and go to a bigger university. While Lone Star is cheaper and is at home, I think I am ready to start my life on my own. Although, I don't know If I am truly ready, but I know I will be eventually.
Hopefully in a few years, I will be in a serious relationship, and I will be ready to start my life. Hopefully I will be done with school, and be really successful! ​​Keep going. Thank you for not giving up. We got this.Storms don't last!​
Love,
You 2023​
