Dear Future Me,
While reading my psychology book, there was mention of a site www.futureme.org that lets you write letters to yourself, and they'll send them off however many years later you want them to be sent off. I thought the idea was pretty intriguing, but anyway... here goes.
Dear Future Me,
Wherever you are, I hope this finds you well. That's really all I hope for. I hope that you're happy, and living a good life, surrounded by people you love, and who love you back. On my end right now, things are a little rocky, but they're slowly smoothing themselves out (making the way for where you are now).
There's just some things I hope that you remember from this point in time.
I've cut some people out. I hope that if those people have managed to find their way into YOUR life, that they truly are worth it. I hope you remember all the caution that I put in to choosing people. I don't want you to be cold or jaded, but I've been hurt one to many times, and I don't want that for you.
I'm quite happy right now. There's people that I wish I could see and talk to more, but for the most part, I have everyone that I want. Sometimes those who are a little sketchier try to find their way in, and that's okay on occasion. They keep me grounded. Remind me of my goals. I hope the best for them, and I never want you to see them and scoff. I never want you to turn away from them. They are sweet people that just need to figure some stuff out. Stay grounded. That's another thing that I want for you. But the ones that I have around me now, are the ones that I hope you have around you now, too. I've never felt so much love from people as I do right now, at this point in my life. I plan on striving to keep this. I hope it worked out for the best.
Money is NOT everything. I've always known that, but sometimes I get a little caught up. Never let it be a priority of yours. Never ever. Just want for enough to take care of yourself and your family (I hope you have a family to take care of. Keep the ones you love close to you. They're more family than anyone can ever hope for). Don't get too caught up in work (unless you have to. Overtime is sometimes a necessity). Just make sure you stay balanced.
I suppose I'm still trying to find myself, so I hope you've found yourself. I'm looking for things that make me... me. I realize that there may not be as much to me as I want there to be. I need more hobbies. I need more interests. I need that thing that when someone mentions it, or thinks of it, they think of me. The "Oh, you know, Manda's really good at that!" Or "Yeah, that's totally Manda's thing." As lame as it sounds, I hope you have a "thing". That means that I'm going to find it. I think I need it, too. Sooner rather than later.
Now is my time of experimentation, and research, and living. Here's to hoping it serves you well. Here's to hoping I do nothing you regret. Well, too much. A little regret isn't a bad thing.
But on that note: Don't regret me. Do NOT regret anything that you were. Some of your actions, sure, occasionally, but I am quick, and sarcastic, and alternative, and a pain in the ass. That is you. Don't think you're any different, even if you don't dress and act this way now, it was, is, and forever will be a part of you.
These tattoo's don't fade.
Anyway, I hope you're living well. It means the best for me. I'm going to go make my room mates and I breakfast now, and then work on a butt load of projects for school.
