Letter To My Future Self.

Dear Future Paulina,

I hope this letter finds you well and that you have accomplished the goals you’ve been working towards over the past two decades. As I sit down to write this, I am filled with a mixture of excitement, anticipation, and, honestly, a lot of uncertainty about what lies ahead for both of us.

In June of 2023, I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in English and Film and Media Studies. The past four years were filled with challenges and successes — it was about discovering the world around me and my place in it. Right now, I find myself in a period of transition into the professional world. It hasn’t been easy, and I’m still learning how to navigate change, but I trust that the choices I make today will positively shape you into the person you have become.

I hope that you have learned how to embrace uncertainty as an opportunity for growth. And above all, I hope you haven’t lost sight of your dreams. Whether it is storytelling or digital media, I hope you are working on projects that spark your passion and creativity. 

Remember to celebrate the victories, however small, and to appreciate the ordinary moments. Most importantly, continue to put yourself out there — take risks and be open to new opportunities. I’m excited to see the life you build and everything you accomplish!

Paulina (January 2024)
