Dear older me you better thank me for this I feel like I'm about to crash so hard and yet here I am writing some silly letter to you.
Nah I kid I love this kind of thing though this really is leaving it to the last minute and I really honestly do feel like crashing. Because wow exhaustion is suddenly a thing that happens.
All things change. I read my previous time capsule entry and I turned out so different than past me could even envision. So I'm not going to try predicting what will happen this year. Hopefully things will stay relatively the same. Maybe they'll be so different you don't even have the same close friends or games you're in or anything.
Just... don't fear change. Don't be afraid to let things go. Sometimes it's inevitable. It'll hurt, and that's okay, but don't let that hurt hold you back. You can get through anything. Hell, look how much of a turnaround you had this past academic semester - from feeling like a failure on academic probation to having a semester that raised your overal GPA and now nearly a semester ahead of schedule.
And you'll have taken some pretty damn big steps this year. Getting a job, trying to live on your own income. I really hope it's going okay. If it... goes not as well as you hoped... I know you tried. Really tried. I also know you'll feel like you could have tried harder. Stop that. You did your best if I know you, and thinking about could-have-beens won't change thins anyway.
Just... keep going. Go as far as you can. Even if you don't know when or where or how, just keep going. I know you'll get there.
You still need to work on that confidence though, kiddo. I don't care that you're 22 now you'll always be kiddo.
Good luck. Love yourself and everyone around you. <3
