letter to future you

When you beat the final boss and the credits start playing followed by “Let there be a new beginning”

[@FonVegen]

I only half focused on the comment the first time I read it and got "When you *are* the final boss and the credits start playing followed by "Let there be a new beginning"" out of it at that point. Is that anything? I don't know, but if it is, I have now shared it.

aah thank you for helping out and composing such a pretty piece for my video T_T it was an honor working with you!!! also stellar color choice for the tracks, i wonder who came up with that brilliant pink gradient...? 🤔 :cat_owl:

OF COURSE it was amazing being a part of a video of yours, and especially such an important one...!

[@NexusKirin]

And here, we see the aftermath It may not be here, but maybe one day, in the future, we will see a message from our past self hoping that we’ve found what we were looking for. If we never do, then we only need to stick around and wait for it. We persist to see what happens next. To see what more life will bring us. Be it strife. Be it simplicity. Suffering, grief, joy or love, we must persevere. That’s what they’d want, anyways. … the catowl, I mean. And your loved ones. Damn this song is good I’m crying

I had a letter 4 years ago I made about the future and my goals at the time. Hearing this just made me want to write another letter for my goals at the end of this year, and that's what I'm going to do now lol. This is amazing and I'm always looking forward to hearing your next song.

Whenever I learn piano, I am going to reference you because I love how you voice the chords. The tempo changes are something I need to look into too.

This week has been one of the most stressful weeks I think I’ve had in a long time, and listening to this beautiful work of yours really toned down all the nerves and anxious thoughts I’ve been having, I feel much better after this, and I have you to thank for it Azali, as always 🙂

I really don't know what to say, since like, every music coming of you is always peak, so... Anyways, i think this one hits different, really different. You've got a lot of those piano songs that sound sort like a "credits" or "tragic moment", but this one i guess goes on the bittersweet aspect, in a way which made me really enjoy it Maybe it was the key idk

My letter to the future: In times of strife In ways of life Where we struggle so Know where you are, where you can go Because love is fickle but sweet It is for the cold you’ll love the heat Of a brand new day So don’t stay Cooped up, emotions bottled away Even if the stars aren’t aligned There is still beauty to find The chance to shine A star so fine Needs a constant fire alight To charge on into the long night But never alone, a thousand fold Of stars born from a different mold To join in the heavens, dance together To paint a new canvas, forever and ever

Sometimes you gotta step back and look at how much your potential has grown. and other times, you gotta look ahead and hope you stuck with the road you paved for yourself to build a brighter future. All in all, I'm glad you're making music, Azali. I hope you will be proud of your future self, keep it up! 💜

[@Skymustbelimited]

Welcome to day 78 of “oh hey Azali just dropped a new song"!! This is like a "Thanks so much for everything you've done for me" vibe, reminiscing the highs, lows, goods, bads, everything, while pouring all of that emotion into a future letter to remind future you of who you once were. Eventually, when it does arrive, the same sense of nostalgia hits, a feeling you oh so missed. You may not experience them again, but you may keep those experiences in memory, events that will stay in your heart, forever. Oh and the piano composition is amazing, as always!! Rating: Approbed!! :D

[@BoredNgl-f9i]

Dear Future Me, I hope this letter finds you happy, healthy, and proud of how far you’ve come. As I write this, I’m filled with hope for the person you’re becoming and the life you’re building. I want you to pause for a moment and reflect on everything you’ve been through. Remember the challenges you thought you couldn’t overcome but did anyway? Those moments built your strength. Celebrate those victories, big and small, and give yourself the credit you deserve. Are you still chasing your dreams? I hope you’ve kept that spark alive, even if the journey has had its twists and turns. Don’t forget the reasons why you started and the passions that light you up. Keep nurturing them, they’re part of what makes life so beautiful. I hope you’ve stayed true to your values, surrounded yourself with people who uplift you, and created a life that feels right for you. It’s okay if it doesn’t look like anyone else’s, it shouldn’t. Keep carving your unique path. Lastly, don’t forget to breathe. Slow down and appreciate the little things. Life isn’t just about goals; it’s also about the sunsets, the laughter, the quiet moments, and the love you give and receive. I’m proud of you. Keep going. With love and encouragement, Your Past Self.

[@marimarill0]

Ahh, jeez. This is the first thing I see after one of those late night deep convos with a friend. Stayed up all the way until just before 4am just venting to each other. Those parts of life are really the best, you know? To future me: don’t ever forget those moments, don’t ever forget how special you are to someone else, that you mean the entire world to someone else, even if you don’t realize it. Whatever happens in the future, sweetheart, I’m proud of you. I really am. And even if you don’t love yourself enough to realize just how special you are, I am here, caring more than enough for the both of us. 🩵 Love you, future me. (And to Azali, I tend to have a bad habit of just lurking on the internet, but… while I’m typing things out here, please keep on creating beautiful songs like these. Your music means the world to so many others just like me. Thank you for everything you do.)

Letter to future me: Yes, you fucked up a lotta times. Yes, you can't get those moments back with the people you love, especially with her. And yes, it was most probably your fault all those happened, no matter how much you try and justify your own actions. But, what's wrong with that? Yeah, you made a lot of mistakes but you're still young. You have a future ahead of you that you neglected all because you live your present stuck in the past. As you from the past, I want YOU to live your present looking forward for whatever will come in our future. Yeah, you'll fuck up still. Yeah, you'll lose a lot more people. And yeah, you'll still be most probably at fault for all of those things. But hey, with every rain there's a rainbow, right? We didn't choose to be born in this damn forsaken world but we for sure know we don't want to be gone from here. We have so many things planned despite the darknesss that envelopes the very corners of our sight. I hope that maybe, in the future, something or someone, will be able to finally bring us back into the light. We've already reached rock bottom, only way to go left is up right? Remember that master oogway quote you used to love so much? Let me remind you: "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today, is a gift. That's why it's called the present."

Future me is now. I'm glad to say I've officially gotten into producing music, and while it was rough at first, comparing myself to others and what not, I've come to enjoy the process. Instead of comparing, now, I try my best instead to learn from others. I have a bunch of stuff I still want to try, and I'm still getting acquainted with the articulated chords I know you love to use. 5 songs and counting.

I feel like I recognize parts of this song??? When it got to around 3:20 I really like.. tapped back into the music. Like it was talking to me or calling my attention- and hearing that motif echo through the latter half of the song in general- it was. I don't even know how to describe it- very befitting of this song's atmosphere, I suppose FGSGF,, Seriously, why is that phrase so familiar. This song feels so very sincere and almost bittersweet, but in the way that change always does ..... Lovely stuff 💖

If i had to give my future self a message, it would be "Hey, you, how are you? I just turned 18 and i'll give my best effort for improving in every aspect of me, if you are reading this, you should know how everything went and i really hope i didn't dissapoint you! Also, never give up. You have come very far and you know you can still progress a lot more, so, keep doing great!"
