Dear younger Sunny,

I know right now you are the sweetest cat in the world, living in the best world, thinking everything is right with the world. I’m sorry to tell you, don’t believe everything that you hear. Not everything is to be listenied to. In this age you have seen death, murder, war, things that most cats would never want to see. Luckily kits never have these things to think about, they are safe, kept away from the outside world. Just follow my advice. Don’t believe everything that you see.
The cats you most trust aren’t always who they seem. Watch your back. The ones you most love or trust, even they aren’t always who they seem. You were lied to when they said we would always be safe, I know this is a lot, but just remember not everything needs to be explained.
The Land of the Lost is different from your first home, it’s a little more comforting, but everyone seems to be cautious of outsiders. They watch over one another thought, making sure everyone is safe from harm. I would trust them over anyone else you would ever meet. The world isn’t always as it seems. It’s a dark and horrible place, full of death. For now you are safe, and I hope this message were never to reach you anyway.

Dearly,
SunBlossom, your future self.

T H A L A S S A | "I wouldn't miss you"
┏----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------┓

Dear Thally,

Remember that? 'Thally'? The nickname that father used to call you by?

Trust me when I say you were such a foolish kit back then, and I'm sure the others would agree,
with those little mews and startling at every single thing you see, even the smallest of rats
could scare you out of your skin! You've come a far way now, and I'm proud of that. The past
is the past, and with that the pain it brings, it ought to be left behind, to be forgotten as
time slowly take our memories away, healing our battle scars and broken souls.

And I'm proud of how you have coped with my parent's passing. How you had accepted the
fact that you will never see them until the right time comes by again, how you had
managed to survive on your own until Tikari found you and brought you under her
wing, nursing you back to health. I'm thankful that you accepted her help, otherwise
there wouldn't have been a me here today.
And of course, I'll be sure to express my gratefulness and thankfulness to her.

I don't know what lies for me for the future ahead, maybe something good, something
unpredictable - or maybe something bad, something that could change my life forever?
Whatever it is, I want you to know that I'm no longer afraid.

Maybe it comes with age, but the fear of the unknown has long melted away into an
abyss.
I remember how you used to be so afraid of what lies ahead of you, your refusal to
cooperate and to come to terms with your own mind, unable to accept the brutal truth.
Back then, you only had yourself to rely on, hence you watched out for your own
well-being, always seeking answers to the questions that still lay unanswered to this day.

Maybe you were born with it, but you had grown a lot since then, the experiences you had to
pull through had taught you to be a tolerant and feisty little kit, toughened up by the harsh
nature.

I'm glad to say I've come this far, with the help of you, of course, but now it is time to bid our
goodbyes to each other, I must let go of the past in order to make a new way for the future.

So,

Goodbye, for now, Thally kit.
I will miss you, and I won't.
It's time to bury these memories into time, maybe one day I will reminisce the good days
when I grow older, when I can no longer be as agile as I used to be, and maybe I will
reflect on my foolish ways and have a good laugh about the things I used to do, but until
then, I'll leave you to rest, you've done enough, and you deserve to be set free.

And so once again, I shall bid my goodbyes and let my claws go off the past, with that,
I shall end my letter here.

-Thalassa

Clan: Eclipse Clan
Rank: kit, later warrior
Gender: trans tom, afab
Age: 4 moons old
Prompt: Dear Cherrykit,

Things are a little difficult for you right now, aren't they? You've lost your first family, mother, father, siblings, all. You're on your own, just a sweet little kitten. And yeah, that really, really sucks. I'm not gonna lie. And the worst part? You don't even know who you are.

But I promise, things are gonna get better. Marblestar, that pretty kitty over there? The one who's a bit scary at first? She's going to be your new mom. And she's awesome.

Although she might be a bit scary, it's because she's super protective of her clan. She doesn't know you yet, but within the next few days, she's adopting you. Marblestar's actually super gentle and you can trust her. I did, and it worked out for me really well.

Another confusing thing? You're gonna start figuring out that you actually aren't a she-cat. Sound strange? Yeah, I get it.

The thing is, you're going to be an apprentice, right? And you're gonna start thinking about yourself. You know, introspection and all that. And the more you start thinking about yourself, the more you're gonna realize it's uncomfortable for you to be a she-cat. Not that there's anything wrong with she-cats, of course, but you definitely aren't one.

That's because you're a tom. Or, more appropriately, a trans tom. You weren't born one, but you're definitely one and you're gonna make sure you're treated like that. And you're going to be the best tom in the clan. I promise.

I promise everything's going to turn out okay Cherrykit. How do I know? Because I'm you from the future. Trust me.

Love, Cherryblossom

Gender: She-cat
Age: 5 moons
Prompt:

Robinwish stared up at the starry sky. She had just recieved her warrior name the previous day and now she thought back on her life within the clan starting when she was a five moon old kit. A familar grey and white figure sat next to the young warrior, Patchstorm.

"You're a warrior now, did you ever think you'd make it this far?" Robinwish's adopted mother asked her.

Robinwish smiled. "I beleive so, I always wnated to ever since you guys told me about being a warrior." The tri-color she-cat purred.
Patchstorm looked toward the sky too. "What would you have told yourself as a kit?" Patchstorm asked quietly.

"Huh?"

"If you could give yourself advice as a kit, what would it be?"
Robinwish looked curiously at Patchstorm, then back to the stars. "If there was something I could tell my kitself..it would be the world's not perfect but it's not bad either. I would tell Robinkit to trust you." She replied before smileing goofily. "And to not be a mischievious as I was, I didn't know the ceremonies could be delayed if I acted up." Robinwish laughed and Patchstorm joined in.

"That's good advice...the world's not perfect-"

"But it's not completely bad, as long as I have you and everyone else in Howlclan."

[237/600] (possible wip ?)
Dear past Springpaw,
I just want you to know to always follow your heart.
I have made so many mistakes in my life so far because I have doubted what my heart says I should do.
Because, if you don't follow your heart, you will spend the rest of your life wishing you had.
Make sure that there is always a large supply of herbs, otherwise Ripplesky will give you a light cuff over the ear when the Catmint or Borage is gone when it's needed. Make sure you check in your bed for prickles or dried leaves - the kits often get in and hide little nasties in there!
Always keep an open mind and a compassionate heart.
Don’t worry about your past – look ahead at your bright future.
I spent too many sleepless nights gazing up at the stars, wondering what would happen. But don’t.
Just let yourself give up the need to know why things happen as they do, you will probably never know, and constant wondering is constant suffering.
Just explore and have a light heart and a strong mind while you’re still innocent, while your biggest problem is still wondering where the feather went.
Dream big, you’ll grow into it!
Don’t let anyone limit you – although, be prepared to leave friends, places, ideas and projects you may have.
I know the past can not change, but I wish it could.

Sincerely,
Me
