Forever in debt to your priceless advice… (day four)
So, this is my thing-a-day for the fourth day. It is being posted now because although I finished the thing in time, it had repercussions that caused me to… get in a really foul, depressed mood (I mean it was for the better, it caused me to really think about things, but still) and needed to step away from it for awhile. What I had decided to do was write myself a letter to open five years from now, or when I graduate college, whichever happens first. So, I started writing about things that were happening right now, and how I wanted to handle them better in the future or should handle them, going a lot over myself and the way I am and general advice for myself. Suffice it to say it got pretty emotional. I had to stop at one point in the middle of writing it. But I’m gratified to have done it, I feel like I said everything I needed to in a sense, and I really can’t wait to see the person I am in five years and how I’ll be looking back at in, what situations I’ll be in - and maybe, if I’ll need that advice and those reminders then.
It ended up being a full page back and front. There are more pictures righhhtttt here

I’m sure this wasn’t easy to write, but you will treasure it in years to come. A beautiful idea and bravo to you for executing it.
In high school they made us write a letter to ourselves our senior year and they mailed them out one year later. I had totally forgotten about it, but once I got it I remembered pretty much what I had written. Only, it was WAY more cringe worthy than I would have thought. What a difference some distance and some more maturity makes. Heck even now, looking back on blog entries that are a few years old, I feel the same way.
Kudos to you though for taking the time to actually *think* about that stuff.
