Have you ever felt nostalgic for moments that haven’t even happened yet? That’s exactly where I am right now. I’ve put so much faith in my goals and the direction my life is heading that I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and nostalgia for all the amazing moments yet to come. It’s like I already miss these future memories I know are out there waiting for me.
I try to keep a realistic view of life and know there will be bumps along the way, but when I look back on where I was five years ago, I realize how far I’ve come. Five years ago, I never could have dreamed of the life I’m living now. So much of this growth came from holding tight to my vision, staying focused, and believing that I could build the life I wanted. That focus and faith gave me the drive to keep moving forward, even on the hard days.
Now, I feel that same energy pulling me toward my next chapter. There’s so much to look forward to: the new friendships, the unexpected laughs, the moments of peace I’ll find in places I haven’t even been yet. I think of all the joy, growth, and change that are yet to come, and I feel a little bittersweet—almost as if I’m missing those moments before they even happen.
Every goal I set, every small step I take, adds to the picture of this life I’m building. It’s a beautiful reminder that we’re never done evolving and that there are so many possibilities waiting to unfold. So here’s to staying grounded in the present but allowing ourselves to dream a little bigger, letting that nostalgia for the future fuel our excitement and focus.
The best is yet to come, and I can’t wait to meet the future me who’s living all those moments I’m dreaming of today.
xoxo,
Alejandra
