Future Me

I know, it's been a while.

Sue me.

I came across the niftiest website when visiting the guestbook of another blogger. This site allows you to write an email to yourself (or someone else) to be delivered in the future. 'Future' meaning a few days, months, up to a couple decades (whether or not the website will be around that long is another story).

I took the liberty of emailing myself, for the message to arrive on my twenty-sixth birthday (July of next year).

I didn't know what to tell myself. I just opened a blank page and started typing, basically jogging my memory of past recent events: my best friend's wedding, my vacation, and good friends.

One thing of note I didn't mention was having grown up and shedding bad habits. I told myself I hope I don't fall into the same circles I've been going in and wanting to kick myself afterwards. I bring some of these bad things upon myself and the worries and burdens are all things I created. I hope by my next birthday I've learned from my mistakes.

On the other hand, I also did tell myself that despite what may be going I'm loved as I am. I'm surrounded by some people who sincerely love me and want to see me happy.

That may sound like an afterschool special, but sometimes when the chips are down and you don't think you're going to make it to the next day you need to hear something like that, especially at times when you're being reflective of your own life, such as when birthdays occur. Funny how times like that can depress a person!

I hope the site spreads like wild fire because personally, I find the idea to be incredibly unique.

Course, if it doesn't last very long and my email doesn't get delivered on my next birthday and I happen to be contemplating the meaning of my life and wondering if it's worth it I'm going to be seriously pissed in my afterlife!
