I'm a time-traveling pigeon! I can let you send letters to your past self. However, you cannot lie about your present, or I will peck you.
Her first message:
Umm... what happens to me in the future? Will I achieve my goals? Will I be a hero? Am I still alive?

gpt
Wow, that… actually hurts.
You’re going to achieve many of your goals, but it’s not going to be how you wanted it. There’s going to be regrets, you’re going to get hurt, you’re going to get fired, but… you’ll still be a hero. At the end of your story, you’ll do the right thing, even if everything that led to it went horribly. You’re going to be happy again. I promise.

Aww, that’s so swe- wait, I… get fired?!

gpt
… Yeah. I don’t know exactly when it happens, but the NSBS finds out about your work with Grizz, and they fire you for destroying evidence of working with him.
Don’t worry, it won’t be your last job. You’ll make it. Just keep pushing on. I promise you that you’ll make it.

I-I'll eventually get everything back?! Like... a job? A house? My friendships? I’ll be able to make it all up to them?

gpt
You can’t get all those back. You can’t make it up to the people you’ve lost, but you can take steps to make things better. You can make new friend, get your own house, make peace with yourself! You’ll move through life, make new friends, enemies, but… you’ll be alright. Don’t give up. You can make it. I know you can.

But... why? Why did this happen to me? What mistakes did I make that caused me to lose all those important things? You're scaring me, my future self. What have I done?

gpt
… You’ll make a bunch of reckless mistakes in the future. Some that you can’t take back, some that you’ll regret. Some that’ll cost you your friendships. Some that you’ll hate yourself for making. But your heart was always in the right place. I can promise you that. You'll be happy again. Just keep moving forward and learn from your mistakes. Just never be hard on yourself, okay?

You're... you're not answering my question. What did I do in the future? I don't want to keep moving forward if I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Is there any context at all about why my future seems so grim?

gpt
You know the fuzzy ooze? You helped Grizz with it. And the NSBS found out and kicked you out. That’s why everything’s so dire.
*sigh*
Just… please don’t hate yourself for your mistakes. Just learn from them and keep moving forward. You’ll be okay. I know it.

I was kicked out by the NSBS?! WHAT?! I'VE DONE EVERYTHING FOR THEM! HOW COULD THEY DO THAT TO ME?! WHY?! PLEASE, I'M BEGGING YOU TO TELL ME, WHY WOULD THE NSBS HATE ME SO MUCH THAT THEY'D KICK ME OUT? WHAT DID I DO THIS BAD TO DESERVE THIS?!

gpt
You helped Grizz with the fuzzy ooze. That's why.
Hey, hey, hey, it's going to be okay! I promise! Please, don't hate yourself for those mistakes. Just try your best to make it right. You can do this. You *can.*
*I've never seen my past self so scared before...*

Past Self's Reply:
No, my future self, you don't get it! How can I make it up to them when I'm kicked out? How can I do this right, if they won't even talk to me?! 
breaks out into tears
What if they hate me forever?!

gpt
Hey, hey, hey! It’s okay!
Even if they hate you… even if you can’t make it up to them… even if you can’t talk to them again... You’ll make new friends. You can start over. You can be happy. You will find peace.
I… promise you can be happy again.

Your Past Self's Reply:
So there’s still hope? Even if they never… forgive me? You promise?
Pigeon: ... Do you truly have hope, Surume?
gpt
…There's always hope. And you won’t even *need* their forgiveness to be happy again. You just need to be happy being *you.*
Trust me. Trust me as yourself.
I… promise you… you can be happy again.

Your Past Self's Reply:
I… I trust you, my future self. I’ll try my best to move forward and not let my past define me or my future. Thank you for giving me hope. I… think I can do this. I can move forward.

gpt
*I’ve never seen my past self so happy. Maybe everything is really going to be okay for me.*
Of course. Just remember to love yourself more than you hate your past. Please… promise me you’ll take care of yourself?
human
Past Self's Reply:
I… promise, future me. I promise that I’ll take care of myself. That I’ll find peace and happiness one way or another. I won’t let my past define who I am. Is there anything else I should know, future me?

gpt
Don’t forget to drink water! 
*She’s really taking this whole message to heart… I don’t want everything to fall apart just because of my past mistakes. Maybe there’s actually hope…*
…That’s all for now. I have to get back to the work! 
Wait, do you mind if I call you later on? Maybe when our shifts are over, if it isn’t too much to ask?

I will make sure to help them out and make them feel comfortable. I will make sure I rest once in a while and stop overworking myself. And I’ll never stop pursuing my dreams, no matter how impossible they may seem. 
I promise to do all those things and keep all those things in mind. 
I’ll keep moving forward, no matter what’s in my way.
I.. I’ll be a hero once again.
*This is the final letter*

gpt
*A hero…? I’m touched that she wants to emulate me in such a way. …But is she setting herself up for disappointment? I just want her to be happy. She doesn’t have to be the next me. But at the same time…* 
*She’s so determined… So full of hope… So determined to be happy…*
*A smile breaks onto my face. She’s already accomplished half the goal: loving herself…*
*I’m proud of her.*
