Hello beautiful Safira,

"As I write this letter for the bright future that awaits me, and for the me of 5 years from now, I hope that one day I can get into the university I dream of, and that one day I can graduate as the best student in my class. I also hope that one day I will become a very helpful person in any way possible, and a successful person who can help those around me. And I hope that in the future I will become a motivator and a multi-talented woman. I also hope that by the time I reach adulthood, I will have made my parents and family proud and raised their status. And in adulthood, please grant health and a long life to my parents, family, and the friends I love. Perhaps this letter ends here, as there are still many things I need to dream of from now on. Keep the spirit and always be healthy for myself; there are people who love you waiting for your success there."

To myself five years from no, wherever you may be,

Hi! How are you? I hope you're reading this with a smile on your face. five year is not a short time, and I know many things must have changed. I just wanted to write the letter as a reminder that today, you had many hopes.

I hope that by now you've become someone more patient, wise, and humble. I know you've been working hard to chase your dreams. whether it's finishing your education, building a career, or making the people you love happy.

Don't forget to always be grateful, no matter how small your achievements may seem, you once had big dreams; to create something meaningful, to make your parents proud, and to live an honest and purposeful life. I hope you never gave up on those dreams.

and if you're feeling tired or lost right now, remember all that you've been through to get here. you're stronger than you think.

thank you for continuing to pus forward. keep walking even if it's slowly. the universe surely hears your kindest hopes

with hopes

yourself in 2025

This letter I write for myself 8 years from now...

Hi Ilmi, how are you doing when you read this letter? I hope you are always and continue to be well. As I write this letter, you are doing fine, physically and emotionally a little tired, hehehe... Oh yeah, your age is still 17 right now, hopefully when you read this again you won't feel this is too much... That's all for the greetings.

Ilmi, honestly right now you are still very confused about what you want to do in the future. You actually want to go to college, but in reality, your parents' finances are currently insufficient, so it seems you will go straight to work. But I will try my best so you can go to college after earning enough income.

Yeah... even though you are still on the verge of confusion and don't know which way to go, I'm sure you will become a successful person, financially or in every other aspect. I hope you have truly been to or are currently in Japan, your dream country, and also that you already have a permanent job, a sufficient and high salary (amen...).

May beautiful things, kindness, and people who care for and love you always be around you, wherever and whenever. Hopefully, with all the things you will achieve in the future, it won't make you forget every single thing and everyone who accompanied you, prayed for you, and was always there for you, and also won't make you forget the creator of everything. May a smile always be etched on your face, your parents', your family's, and the faces of those who love you.

May the limits of your patience, sincerity, and acceptance always be limitless, and if in the future you receive something that doesn't meet your expectations, may you understand that those promised to enter paradise cannot enter without the selection of trials; consider it as a form of His love. (Amen).

Best prayers and hopes for my future self.

allow cydahh pretty

When I write this letter, you are 17 years old, you are still standing at the crossroads of hope and effort, praying that the future will bring good news for you.

I hope, from the age of 17 I change myself to be better for the future. So that it is easier for me to achieve the dreams that I dream of, hehe. From the age of 17 you must be more enthusiastic and continue to strive for what you want to achieve, from this journey you must remain yourself, from a you who can't do anything at least you have to try again.

I also hope, I will continue to live this bitter life with patience, enthusiasm and always be happy, a strong you must never give up.

Hopefully in the midst of this busy life, you must remain steadfast in worship, always get closer to Allah, and never stop learning to be a better person. Remember, learning is never finished, so is improving yourself.

Be yourself, don't listen to people who only talk about your bad points, you should be proud of your efforts, keep moving forward with enthusiasm...

with full hope

:

Therefore, my future self, this is me, my past self who shaped you into who you are now. Continue to struggle to find our identity. And don't forget to be grateful for anything because our life is a process. Happiness is our own responsibility. Before loving others, love ourselves first.

Maybe that's all from me, see you in the future.

warm greetings from me

five years have passed, and I hope that when you read this letter, you have achieved everything you dream of in the culinary world. I know, your journey is full of challenges. both in business and personal life.

I imagine, you now have a successful branch of business, maybe even have developed a new menu that is a favorite of many people. all your hard work and efforts have paid off, and I am sure that every dish you serve is not only about taste, but also about the story and ability that you pour into it.

hopefully on this journey, you are not only successful in terms of material, but also in terms of personal satisfaction.

these five years may feel like a long journey, but believe me every step you take has brought you closer to your goals. continue to dare to dream big, and don't be afraid to continue to innovate and shine even brighter.

with a very sincere gratitude, from:

you 5 years ago

I wrote this letter when I was 19 years old. I want to say happy birthday to myself, may good news always accompany you. Aamiin. I hope that at the age of 24, I have become a successful person. Don't forget to always be a child who is devoted to your parents. I also hope that my life is filled with all feelings of happiness and gratitude, remind myself if my ego is too high and continues to force life as I want. Because basically this life will continue to turn like a wheel, there are times when we are on top and vice versa. Learn to accept reality. Always pray that if I am successful later there will still be parents who always accompany me. Until my age and finances I feel strong and able to find a good life partner in religion, economy, and physical. Don't forget to always be strong like my mother who is currently the backbone of the family, never give up whatever obstacles and problems in life. You can read this letter again, if your heart is not well okay.keep spirit :)

Hi Nabilaa,This is such a heartfelt letter! Here's the English translation:

"Hi Nabilaa,

As I write this letter, you've turned 17 years old, and you're currently experiencing the high school years, which I'm sure are filled with many memories. I always strive and pray in everything so that all your dreams and hopes will be achieved. With this new year of your life, I hope you always become a better person, again and again. May the news of the future that comes to you always be the best news for you. By the time you reach 20, I hope you're already in college, pursuing the major you've always dreamed of, facing challenges without ever knowing tiredness or despair. May you always be steadfast in all good things. And when you turn 23, I hope you find the man who can be the best leader for you and who has a deep understanding of religion. I hope your future family is filled with unwavering love, always harmonious and full of happiness. Never stop striving to be a better and more useful human being. May everything you always work for never feel in vain."

With heartfelt hope

Nabila, who is 17 years old

for myself i want to say thank you for fighting until now, until you are still enthusiastic to live your days more enthusiastically.

remember, now you are 18 years old and living your real life, where at this time you have to fight tooth and nail to achieve a bright future. Hopefully for the next 5 years, namely at the age of 23, you will have received a bachelor's degree in S. Kom (bachelor of communication experts) and after that you will have found a job that suits you and have found a life partner who can take you to heaven, lead you to the path of truth and become a family that is sakinah mawadah warohmah, and successful in this world and the hereafter.

and when all is achieved, may you remain steadfast to continue fighting for you, your family and for your future too. I hope that you can take your parents to the umroh to the Baitullah, aamiin, and you succeed in becoming a successful entrepreneur and do not forget to always be with Allah SWT and His Messenger.

Forgive me, if I can't be perfect, everything needs a process, so wait for me to be the best in your version someday.

Take care your self

Hai naa

How are you? I hope everything is well. Stay steadfast in striving for Allah’s pleasure. Thank you for the efforts you’ve made so far. Even though it may not seem as grand as others, it’s okay because everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses.

I’m 17 now, and I’m writing this letter to encourage you to keep learning with enthusiasm, and to keep memorizing the verses of the Qur'an. I hope you will reach your dreams. I also pray that you graduate with a degree from your dream faculty, UIN (Indonesian Islamic University), majoring in Education (SPD).

I hope you can become a righteous child who will elevate the status of your parents. As time goes by, I hope that when you succeed, you will be able to visit your dream country, Japan, to gain new experiences. And I also pray that you can take your family to the Holy Land of Arabia to perform Hajj and Umrah together.

As time goes by, I hope that by the time you turn 25, you will meet a righteous man who can guide you and your family on the straight path, blessed by your Lord. With your prayers and efforts, surely Allah will give you results according to your striving.

Stay motivated, my dear. Remember, there is someone waiting for your success. Thank you for everything. I’m proud of you, and I hope you will always be happy.

to my dearest Eva..

when i write this letter, you are still 17 years old and currently my news is good, very good of course. hopefully in the year you read this letter your condition is also very good. at your young age there are many hopes and prayers that your future will bring good news. which of course there are some twists and turns that you have gone through and even more amazingly you have made it to this moment.

I hope that at your increasing age you have found and achieved the dreams that you hope for, I hope that you have become a student with the major that you dream of, and a hard-working, active, cheerful, and kind woman and of course not stingy to my family when I am working.I also hope that your dreams, your desires, will gradually come true, starting from the smallest things and your dream of going to college, working in a place that you really dream of like in a mine, hopefully that will also come true, Amen. Keep being yourself, who never gives up, who is anti-mainstream, a strong woman like the Korean drama you've watched before, Strong Women the bungsun.May you be given prime health, a strong mentality like steel, a calm heart and may your finances always be stable enough to meet your needs or even more. Oh, and don't forget to share with those in need and enjoy small trips to new places with your family or lover.

I hope that in the midst of your busy life you remain steadfast and in worship continue to draw closer to the Creator and never stop being a beautiful and good woman.

Thank you for my legs that are willing to walk this far, thank you for the body that is willing to be strong even though I always hear your complaints every night, especially for my mother, family, and closest people who support me and I say thank you once again to the Almighty because of Him I have become like this.

take care of yourself
