a letter from 2036.

february 8, 2036 · a letter from ten years from now

hey. it's me. you — ten years from now.

i know you're not sure it's going to work. keep going.

what grew wasn't what you planned. it was better. quieter — and bigger at the same time. the roots you're putting down right now, the ones nobody sees yet? they're the whole reason everything else holds.

you didn't need more. you needed better roots. you were right about that.

the uncertainty you're feeling right now — that's not a sign you're doing it wrong. that's just what it feels like to build something real before it exists.

the kids are good. wyoming happened. god's plan, not yours — and it was better than yours anyway.

i love you. keep building.

— V, 2036
