To the Future Me:



Hi there Ysabelle! 
How are you? What's keeping you busy lately? I wrote this letter 10 years ago. When you were 21 years old and currently unemployed. You have tired applying to different hotels, travel agencies, airlines and even entertainment industries but while I'm writing this for you the luck seems not in our favor but I'm not giving up. I will never give up! Because I am preparing and creating YOU.


You've always wanted to be a flight attendant then, you are a wanderlust and curious by nature. You adore the sky, fluffy clouds and even then twinkling stars-- well I'm not sure about the latter  part though I haven't travelled via air at night, maybe you can tell me if you can see the stars at night through the clouds? Other than the relaxing views that you adore, you also want to provide service to people and to get to know them somehow. You also believe that they are like soldiers on board like the safety and security of the passengers always comes first and you can do all of that by being a Flight Attendant. Ha. So? Are you now a Flight Attendant? Have you passed the Height requirement? Hahaha! 5'21/2" is too small for them. Haha. I know. I've tired it once. Maybe along the way of finding yourself, you've found your confidence to re-apply again? Well, If you're an FA now. Then please do me a favor and pat you back for me. Because you have achieved our dreams finally! How many places have you seen? How many people have you talked with? Are you enjoying? 



But wait!  maybe you're not flying regularly like a FAs do. Maybe you're an Event and Parties Organizer. OMG!! That's so fantastic! Like you're doing all these tasks, regularly checking your schedule, driving around the city and talking endlessly through phone and calling all your business partners to check if their doing everything right, having this time line, talking to different clients and just being worn out with everything BUT, I know how satisfying and worthy it is to be on this kind of job! Seeing your clients crying for joy because of a job well done. OHHHH! I'm so thrilled and so happy for you! Horaay! I just have one question for you, Are you enjoying?



Waaaait!!!! Maybe you're not an FA or into events BUT you entertain people as an Actress! OHGOSH! You nailed it didn't you? Ohhhh! I'm so proud of you, Ysabelle! So are you into Drama? Horror? Comedy? Rom-Com? Come on what's your genre? Have you tired hosting too? And performing like you sing and dance on stage? Hahah! wait! Don't tell me you have your own music album already? Hahaha! I can't believe it! You and your voice! Haha. Have you won an award or awards? Do you have a love team? Oh please don't tell me that you let random artists kiss you on the lips! I have been protecting your first kiss for 21 years now! So better behave yourself there! Hahaha. One question and you better answer it honestly, Are you enjoying? 

So, tell me which career did you take? Or which are you in now? Have you tried it all?  Or you're out of these careers and tried different ones? Well, let me be honest with you, Ysabelle, no matter what role you're into as long as you are happy and satisfied, I am proud of you! No matter what! You have successfully overcame another 10 years of your life. Congratulations Ysabelle! I hope that you are happy and enjoying everything that you're doing because someone once told me that if you love your job, you will never get tired of doing it. You will always have fun. And I know that you are making the right choices now. Right? 


May you always be hopefull and be filled with joy. And in case that the odds is not in your favor now--- please keep on dreaming, keep the faith, keep the passion burning, and trust God always. He has plans for you like he had for me. And if you're still in doubt, just look back. Just remember me. Then take it from there, you'll get the answers to your questions. 

You can do it Ysabelle. You always will. 

Keep on dreaming! 

Sending my love and support thru airmail. 

Loving you from the past,

Post-Ysabelle, 21
