Last week I did something a bit crazy 🙈 I wrote a letter to myself, but not the me of today. I wrote to the Alena who will be here in five years. I sat in my favorite café in Chernivtsi 🍰, ordered a cappuccino with extra foam ☕ and asked her questions. Is she brave? Does she still laugh too loudly? Did she finally learn to say no when she is tired? 😄

The most interesting part came when I tried to answer as her 🌟 She told me to stop apologizing for dreams that look too big. She said that my daughter will remember the cozy evenings and our silly dances in the kitchen 💃 more than any perfect schedule. And she added that one day I will see a new city, with warm sun and a sea breeze 🌊, and I will smile because I did not give up 💛

Now this little letter lives in my notebook 📖 and I read it when I feel tired or unsure. It works like a warm hug from the future 🤍 Try it yourself tonight: take a pen, a cup of tea and ask the future you one honest question. I would love to hear what she answers
