Dear Future Self,
Hello, me. Right now, you're older than me, and I'm younger than you, but really we're both the same age because we're both the same person. This message is just trapped within your 18-yr-old mind. And you might wonder what kind of crack you were smoking when you wrote this. You might even be embarrassed. I know when I read some of my past letters to myself, it's kind of embarrassing. I can't help but think, "Did I really talk like that?"
I'm not really sure what the purpose of this letter is, other than I just think they're fun to read later. It's like getting a letter from a friend, except less exciting because you are expecting it. But it can still be fun to look back on what could have been going on then.
I hope that having a major in international affairs is working for you. I really hope it will. I've not started the coursework yet, so you'll have to tell me how that goes ;) lol that's not even funny. Anyway. I hope that you've found a place where you belong and that you're still staying in touch with your artistic side. Hopefully you've got an apartment right now, too.
A piece of advice: be nice to people. For real. Just do it. But not so nice that they mistake you for a fool. Find a good balance. I know it's hard for you. Also, don't let yourself or anyone else hold you down. You need to do what is best for you. Maybe I should take some of my own advice now. Hopefully you have.
Answer some questions for me.
- What is your major?
- How old are you?
- Where do you go to school?
- Are you happy?
- What do you wish I had known today that you know now?
Now I need to refrain from reading this for a few years.
See you in a while.
Love,
You
