Dear future me...

If you're reading this, it means that you made it to a point that you once deemed impossible. You overcame the hurdles thrown in your way and you're still here. I hope you're somewhere safe, basking in all the joy that life has to offer, and breathing easier than the girl I am today.

I wonder what you've carried with you through the years - the scars, the lessons, the laughter. I wonder, do you still look in the mirror and see a stranger? Or have you found a way to come home to yourself?

Right now, it's August 2025, I'm 23 years old, and some days still feel impossibly heavy. For 11 years, I have carried hurricanes in my soul, lived through nights that seemed endless, and fought battles no one else saw. But even here, even now, there is hope hiding in my heart. Writing to you is proof of that - proof that I believe in a tomorrow worth fighting for.

I hope you're proud of me. Proud that, through every tear shed, I didn't give up even when it felt tempting. Proud that I kept choosing life, even when my mind told me otherwise. Proud that I turned pain into purpose, that I started building Serenity not just as a brand, but as a sanctuary for me and others.

Future me, I hope you still laugh at the silly things. I hope you still sing too loudly when your favourite playlist is on. I hope you haven't lost the wild, carefree part of you that dances like no one's watching. I hope you're grateful for all the luxuries you have, and for how far you have come. And I hope you remember that life isn't about survival, that life is meant to be lived, felt, and cherished.

I hope you're surrounded by people who see you - really see you - and love you in the strong and steady way you always deserved. But I also hope that you've built enough strength to stand tall on your own, to know your worth without needing anyone to confirm it.

I hope you've kept fighting for your dream - a home for those who are hurting, a place where no one feels alone in the darkness. Serenity by Sach is just a seed right now, but I hope you've nurtured it into something bigger than yourself. And if it's still blooming, that's okay too - flowers take time to grow.

I also hope, that if life hasn't gone exactly the way we dreamed, that you're gentle with yourself. I hope you know that growth isn't linear, and healing is not a straight road. I hope you remember that each obstacle you face is teaching you something, and that you welcome each lesson with open arms. I hope you maintain faith, and trust that even the detours and delays are leading you somewhere meaningful.

But most of all, I hope you're at peace with who you are. Not a polished, perfect version of yourself, but the real you. The one who has scars and stories, laughter and losses, light and shadows. Even now, I'm still learning that all of those belong. All of it makes us who we are, and we are pretty awesome.

So if you're reading this, just know that I am rooting for you, that I love you, and that I'm ever so proud of you. Know that through all the storms, clouds, and rain, the sun will eventually shine through.

With love,

Sach x
