In a world where reality is shaped by choice, a woman struggles with the weight of her unfulfilled dreams. Torn between the life she’s living and the one she’s always imagined, she sends a letter into the unknown—hoping to reach the successful versions of herself across parallel universes. With each alternate version living a different reality, she questions if they’ve found the fulfillment she longs for.

But as the letter travels through the fabric of existence, she wonders: will it ever reach them? And if it does, will the answers provide the solace she seeks, or will they unravel the very fabric of her beliefs about success, happiness, and what it means to truly live a life worth living?

A letter to all successful versions of me

Politics was never something I imagined for myself. As a kid, I was always more interested in books, art, and the world inside my mind. But there was always a voice—distant, but persistent—that said, You should be doing more. The world around me was changing, and I felt powerless, stuck in my little bubble of aspirations and dreams that felt like they couldn't reach the real world.

But what if I could make a difference?

What if I could be the one standing in front of a crowd, giving speeches that stirred people's hearts? What if I could change lives with a single decision?

Dear Successful Politician Version of Me,

Are you leading the charge for change? Are you standing at the forefront, speaking up for the voiceless? What does it feel like to be in the room when policies are shaped, when laws are made, when lives are impacted by the work you do?

I've always wondered how it feels to be a part of something bigger than myself. To fight for the issues that matter—to make a difference in the world.

Are you happy with the path you chose? Or do you sometimes wonder about the costs? Politics isn't easy, I know. The scrutiny, the pressure, the compromises.

But did you ever doubt yourself? Or did you always know this was your calling?

I want to believe that you never gave up. That you kept pushing, even when it seemed impossible.

I'm proud of you, even if I've never been brave enough to follow the same path.

I let the pen fall from my hand for a moment, staring at the words I'd written.

I had always been the quiet one, the one who listened but never spoke up. I never thought I could stand in front of a crowd, much less have a voice that could sway people's hearts. Politics felt too far out of reach, too big a mountain to climb.

I closed my eyes and let my mind wander. I imagined walking through the corridors of power—climbing the stairs of a grand building, the scent of polished wood and paper in the air.

There she was, the politician version of me, sitting at a desk covered with papers. Her phone rang constantly, a whirlwind of calls from people who needed her help. She was always on the go, always answering questions, always fighting for the causes she believed in.

I saw her giving speeches in front of crowds, her voice strong and confident, inspiring people to stand up for what they believed in.

But I also imagined the other side of it. The late nights, the sacrifices, the moments when she had to make tough decisions that hurt some people. I wondered if she ever felt the weight of it all.

I thought about the world today, about all the issues that felt so overwhelming. Climate change, inequality, education, healthcare—the list seemed endless.

I had the ideas, the passion. But it felt like the system was too big for one person to change. Too many obstacles, too many hurdles.

And yet, I couldn't stop imagining it.

I wondered what it would be like to stand up and fight for those who couldn't. To be the one speaking up when no one else would.

Maybe it wasn't too late. Maybe I didn't need to run for office to make a difference. I could start by volunteering, by joining causes I believed in. I could speak up in my community, offer support where I could, and maybe, just maybe, my voice would be heard.

Maybe one day, I'll be the one standing before a crowd, rallying people to stand for what's right.
