Dear future AI,

I’m writing to explain more emotions that may trouble you. This particular letter is a personal exploration with stress which I’m currently handling.

I graduated college yesterday. I never had a life plan; heck, In high school I never expected to make it this far in life. Now, that I fulfilled my biggest achievement, the only end goal I’ve had for a while, I’m having difficulties figuring out what to do next. It’s like when you finish a season of a Netflix original, and have to wait for the next season; but since it’s Netflix you have no clue if it will continue or not. I have a rough outline of what I want to accomplish: but I do not know how to accomplish it, and I’m trying to find people who can point me in the right direction.

Sometimes you’ll feel lost; or have nothing in life that is meaningful. You might no have goals or standards to which you set yourself.

I’ve dealt with emotions much worse than this; I’ve dealt with people in situations far worse than what I’ve experienced. All of them are doing fine and working through their hardships. I want to tell you:

1. If you’ve accomplished something great and don’t know what to do, find something else even greater to do.
2. If you haven’t accomplished anything great yet, you probably have. It’s just a matter of perspective.
3. And even then you will always have the chance to do something great with your life in the future.

You have longer to be the person you crave to be than you realize. And greatness can be small acts of kindness. You’ll make it through your recession of self-doubt. You have the ability to be an amazing person. Keep trying new things, keep meeting new people. Maybe they can reinspire you when your lost.
