A letter from Jul 13, 2026

Dear FutureMe, Hola, me encanta escribir, debo decir que ha sido un tiempo de cambios este ultimo año, salir tal vez huyendo de tus miedos y necesitar parar fue necesario para llegar aqui,no ha sido un recorrido facil pues ha estado lleno de muchos desafios, una nueva cultura y todo lo que ella conlleva, ver la diversidad cultural que existe en este país y descubrir capacidades que nunca pense pudiera desarrollar, desde limpiar casas, autos hasta ser mesera en un restaurante, fueron momentos muy duros para mi donde sentí flaquear, rendirme y querer salir corriendo, pero por el contrario fué reencontrarme consigo misma y entender todo lo que el dolor y la ansiedad de los años anteriores causó en mi y que fueron el fuego que avivo mi llama de vivir de nuevo para por fin comprender que todo lo que me pasaba fue necesario para hacer todas las cosas que he soñado. Deje todo y sali corriendo para conocerme y respirar en otro lugar, dejando lo que tal vez queria en ese momento porque no me sentía preparada para confrotar; ahora luego de casi un año me pregunto que hacer y donde buscar respuestas, estar a solas realmente ayuda. Ahora quiero volar hacia mi destino, hacia mi proposito, hacia mi verdad de la mano del que siempre ha estado, mi amigo, mi confidente, mi fuerza que es lo divino y espiritual en mi, con la certeza que voy por buen camino, viviendo cada día sin mirar atras, lo que deje fué un aprendizaje que me ha ayudado a crecer y a reencontrarme con mi ser y lo que quiero para mi vida. Ho me siento mas yo, mas autentica , mas fuerte, mas líder y capacitada para sortear cada reto y encontrar en el camino mi compañero de vida con quien pronto me cruzaré en el camino, porque todo se esta dando para que sea asi; mientras tanto, voy creando mi nueva realidad haciendo parte del entorno pero no completamente sumergida en el, porque siempre he creido que no soy una mas del montón y tengo cosas grandes que mi creador tiene para mi y cada uno de los desafios lo sortearé con valentia y agradecimiento ya no ocupandome de lo demas sino de mi misma y el amor que nunca me habia tenido... Se que todo lo que he dejado valió la pena y todo lo que transitó ya cumplió su proposito, no me ato mas al pasado sino vivo ahora mi presente y con el trabajo maravilloso de mi hoy veré los resultados en mi yo del futuro, orgullosa de lo pasos que he dado para cumplir mis sueños. Voy a ver mi emprendimiento de cuidado de perritos y la consultoria para emprendedores en la red de apoyo al inmigrante, voy a verme de nuevo en las tarimas de un escenario compartiendo lo que he aprendido para ayudar a construir a otros, voy a ir por el mundo enseñando a volar a levantarse sin mas miedos ni ataduras que no nos corresponden, pues aprendí a dejar atras lo que no era mio y no tenia que cargar, deje atrás el estar complaciendo a otros sin darme nada a mi misma, deje atrás las mentiras de pensar en que no podía y ser solo un estandar que la sociedad o el mundo quiere...pero yo soy, unica, autentica, hermosa y líder con la iniciativa de probar que se puede hacer y que nuestro valor no los lo da nada ni nadie.... Gratitud por todo lo que la vida y Dios me han dado, todo me ha dado el brillo que ahora empiezo a revelar y la sabiduría para decidir y elegir bien en adelante, sin escuchar el ruido del mundo sino mi voz interior y no lo que otros quieren para mi sino lo que yo realmente quiero y me da paz. Cuando leas esto verás las bases de lo que has logrado y contarás como lo has logrado con disciplina y perseverancia, porque triunfaremos nos irá bien en todo lo que emprendamos, se que en este camino conoceré grandes personas... será un escalon mas... Gracias por lo que has hecho a lo largo de tu vida pero principalmente en este ultimo año donde creimos perder mucho pero por el contrario en esta tierra de oportunidades obtenderemos mas de lo que soñamos, ..tambien se que pronto en unos meses pordré volver de nuevo a visitar mi amada tierra y será una recompensa regresar con tanto para contar y dar a los que me aman y siempre han estado. Un abrazo de victoria por lo que hemos logrado y lograremos... Dear FutureMe, Hello, I love writing. I must say that this past year has been a time of many changes. Leaving, perhaps running away from my fears and needing to stop, was necessary to get here. It has not been an easy journey, as it has been filled with many challenges, a new culture, and everything that comes with it. Seeing the cultural diversity that exists in this country and discovering abilities that I never thought I could develop — from cleaning houses and cars to working as a waitress in a restaurant — were very difficult moments for me, moments when I felt like giving up, surrendering, and wanting to run away. But instead, it became a journey of reconnecting with myself and understanding everything that the pain and anxiety from previous years had caused within me. Those experiences became the fire that reignited my desire to live again and finally understand that everything I went through was necessary to become the person I am meant to be and to achieve everything I have dreamed of. I left everything behind and ran away in order to find myself and breathe in a different place, letting go of what I may have wanted at that moment because I did not feel ready to face it. Now, almost a year later, I ask myself what to do and where to find the answers. Being alone truly helps. Now I want to fly toward my destiny, toward my purpose, toward my truth, guided by the One who has always been there: my friend, my confidant, my strength — the divine and spiritual presence within me. I move forward with the certainty that I am on the right path, living each day without looking back. What I left behind became a lesson that helped me grow and reconnect with my true self and with what I truly want for my life. Today I feel more like myself, more authentic, stronger, more of a leader, and more capable of overcoming every challenge. Along this journey, I will find my life partner, the person I will soon cross paths with, because everything is aligning for that to happen. Meanwhile, I am creating my new reality, being part of my surroundings but not completely absorbed by them, because I have always believed that I am not just one more person among the crowd. I believe my Creator has great things planned for me, and I will face every challenge with courage and gratitude. I am no longer focused on taking care of everyone else before myself; now I am learning to care for myself and embrace the love I had never given myself. I know that everything I left behind was worth it, and everything I went through has already fulfilled its purpose. I am no longer tied to the past; instead, I am living my present moment. Through the wonderful work I am doing today, I will see the results reflected in my future self, proud of every step I have taken to fulfill my dreams. I will see myself building my dog care business and my entrepreneurship consulting project within the immigrant support network. I will see myself standing on stages again, sharing what I have learned to help others build their own paths. I will travel the world teaching people how to fly, how to rise again without fears or burdens that were never theirs to carry. I learned to leave behind what did not belong to me. I left behind the need to please others while giving nothing to myself. I left behind the lies that made me believe I was not capable, that I had to become only the standard that society or the world expected of me. But I am unique, authentic, beautiful, and a leader with the initiative to prove that things are possible and that our value is not given to us by anything or anyone. Gratitude for everything that life and God have given me. Everything I have experienced has given me the light that I am now beginning to reveal and the wisdom to make better decisions and choices moving forward — without listening to the noise of the world, but instead listening to my inner voice. Not following what others want for me, but choosing what I truly want and what brings me peace. When you read this, you will see the foundation of everything you have achieved, and you will tell the story of how you achieved it through discipline and perseverance. We will succeed. We will do well in everything we pursue. I know that along this journey I will meet incredible people, and this will simply be another step toward everything that is meant for me. Thank you for everything you have done throughout your life, but especially during this past year when we thought we had lost so much. Instead, in this land of opportunities, we will gain much more than we ever dreamed. I also know that soon, in a few months, I will be able to return and visit my beloved homeland, and it will be a reward to come back with so many stories to share and so much to give to those who love me and have always been there for me. A victorious embrace for everything we have achieved and everything we will achieve. With love, Your past self.
