Letters to My Former Self is a reflective and uplifting collection that speaks directly to the heart. Each letter feels like a quiet conversation with the author’s past – offering compassion, reminders of resilience, and encouragement to keep growing. Some of the pieces overlap in theme, and a few felt a little too brief, but overall the emotional honesty shines through. I found myself pausing often, underlining lines, and feeling less alone. A beautiful read for anyone on their journey of self-understanding.

'Every mistake you have made was necessary for you to become the person you are today.'

A quick yet powerful read. Every letter resonated with me in some way, especially XIX—it felt personal, haha.
