Dear Future Me: Letter to Future Self

Hey amigo!

Let me assume that this letter is read on some kind of grapheme screen wrapped around your wrist or glued to your face. Future must be awesome with High-tech machines! Most probably my words of knowledge are going to be of no use to you since1)I am only 21 and you must think aim pretty stupid to advice the older you who has experienced more in life than me and 2) you are a stubborn person with no clue on when to stop and a helplessly adamant fighter. Also if you are reading this through a waterfall of tears clouding up your eyes thinking about the old you, then you are not going to believe a single word I am about to say but here it goes.

Your life had always been and will be one giant rollercoaster. It’s exciting, it’s frustrating and it’s also depressing. However, it’s temporary. I hope you have a few more things figured out by now while you also still have some doubts. It would be pretty perfect if you managed to survive without dying due to assassinations planned by people who were pissed at you for ruining their perfect composure with your ‘SO not appreciated Sarcasm’. I have no idea where you ended up but yeah kudos to you if you managed to survive the wrecked hurricane I live in and call my life.

If I was to take a wild guess at your life and the person who you’ve become? My answer would probably be a crazy ass person with a awesome social life and with an irritating type of personality, lack of any type of cookery skills and an addiction to ice cream, novels, pets and obviously mangos.

I am and I always will be proud of whatever you have managed to accomplish and I am holding on to the thought of you still being the insanely sane person. Ha! Who am I even kidding? You have surely not grown up and that is the best thing! Do you still shout the lyrics of a song when driving with your dad like me? Do you still dance around not caring about what place you are in like me? Do you still not get least bit worried about what others think about you when u speak to others in such a loud voice like me? If yes, then WHOOHOOOOO

On a lighter note, I am dead sure you will still be a beaten up soul and hence here are some tips to survive.

1. Stop crying over people who became ghosts (they all were bitches and assholes in the first place).
2. Stop aiming to be a perfectionist (don’t overwork yourself to meet your own expectations, it’s good to be a messed up failure sometimes).
3. You should probably stop crying with happiness every time you see a cute dog or cat (I know it’s not gonna happen! but hey, nothing is wrong in advising).

I am pretty much sure that you have got a lot of things(sad things…happy things…weird things…every shit!) going on while you are reading this, but trust me when I say that everything is going to be awesome. Most importantly, Spend time with people you love. Try understanding your little brother a bit more if you still haven’t made any progress with that! you must never forget that he is a cactus, thorny outside but soft inside! He loves you even though he pisses you off on a whole different level!

The following are a must do! if you didn’t do these, I will hunt you down and kick your ass pretty hard.

1. Make some plans.
2. Get outside, even when the couch is calling.
3. Prank your friends (the meaner the better).
4. Go for a sail.
5. Climb a mountain.
6. Build a fire.
7. Stay up late.
8. Camp in the woods.
9. Eat good food cooked from scratch.
10. See live music.
11. Travel abroad with someone you care about.
12. Immerse yourself in a good book.

I hope you have already toured the world with your best friends and family. You should have scuba and sky dived. Also I hope you got the new tattoo that you always wanted. Knowing myself the way I kinda do? You are a screwed up ass but that’s cool!

Never lose track of what is important, what is worth making time for. Your nightmares are still gonna be there like your shadow and your heart is still gonna get broken but you have to be a master at letting go and may the bridges you burn light the way for you.

The main thing is life will remain shitty and difficult as always, do not let the world dull your sparkle! Be the rebel you always have been. And never forget to be grateful. You should be oh, so very grateful to god for everything he gave you so far. Keep going.-with love and sarcasm Present me!
