Dear future me,

I don't know what I want to say to you. So I'll tell you what I want from you. I hope you're doing everything I have planned. But if you didn't end up doing it then I hope you're doing something good. One of my biggest fears is being a failure and I hope you didn't become one because I have big hopes for you.

This sounds weird, but I think of you every day. I always think about what I'll be doing when I'm older and I wonder if I'll become that big author I've always dreamed of being. Then I think of how much I procrastinate and get lazy now and I hope you don't do that anymore. So this is what I want from you. I want you to be graduated already and have traveled at least two times. I hope you got out of Chicago.

There so much more out there for us. I hope you published a book or two. in reality I hope you're doing something with your life because we have the potential to. I hope you're married by at least 32. I also hope you still listen to good music and that you still like playing Zelda. I want you to have gotten that tattoo you've been wanting. I don't want you to be stuck up either, I want you to remember who you are and where you came from no matter where you are now. No matter what I'm proud you made it through the dark times and I hope it's easier now.

We were never the time to enjoy children but I know if they were mine I would love them so I hope you have a baby and make a great future for him or her. You know what a good mom is so one. I hope you end up with a great guy that is going to love you and your kids and that also lets you have as many dogs as you want. I want you to have the best life someone could have. Most importantly I hope you are genuinely happy because yes I want all this stuff but being happy is something I've wanted forever. Make me proud.

Sincerely,

Me
