A letter from Jan 28, 2025

Dear FutureMe, This one's not going that far into the future, but anyways... JEE Mains result must be declared today. I am writing this a few days after my attempt (didn't get this idea before lmao) but just wanted to remind you that If it's good, don't let complacency take over. If it's bad, don't let depression take over. Chances are that you'd be preparing for Advance anyways. How much have you done up till now? Remember, you have nothing to lose. There are only things that you'll gain just by putting in a lot of effort. So why not, just for this once, try your best for real? Give your everything and leave no gaps in the 3 months you have left. It's just 1/4th of a year, so why not? Don't give in to addictions. The values you might learn will stick with you throughout life. Do you realize how close that'll bring you to the kind of person little you wanted to be? Mummy papa are obsessed with IIT and you can't change that. So why not give them this gift to acknowledge everything they've done for you. Just give it a try, an honest one. (I also hope that accountability technique of ToDo List + Parents worked out) I believe that you're done with most of the Literature syllabus. Please do well. You know you have to.
