Dear Future Farah,
Hello from the year 2025! I’m writing this letter with a heart full of hope, dreams, and questions about the person you have become. By now, maybe you are a psychologist, helping women and children heal, listen, and find their strength. Or maybe you choose another path and become a lawyer, standing in court to defend women and children, giving them the justice they deserve. Don’t forget our promise: to always stand for women, and every woman has the right to live a safe and happy life.
I wonder, did you keep your pure heart? Or did the world and people around you have changed you? I hope you become stronger but also keep your kindness, honesty, and love for others. Life can be hard but I believe you have the courage to face challenges and turn them into lessons that make you grow. Please, never lose the light inside you.
Have you travelled to the UK and visited London, like you always dreamt? Did you walk near the River Thames and see the Big Ben with your own eyes? And what about USA, did you go there to meet your best friend “Nada” and make memories together?
I hope you got the chance to explore the world, learn about different cultures, and meet people who inspire you.
I also hope you’ve never forgotten the little things that make life beautiful: laughter with your friends, the warmth of your family, reading books, and moments of quiet happiness. These small details matter as much as the big goals.
Most of all, I hope you stayed true to yourself. Be proud of how far you have come, but keep dreaming bigger. Life will test you, but never let it change you into someone you not. Stay brave, stay strong, and stay hopeful.
Good luck, Farouha. I believe in you, always.
With love,
Your past self.
