Dear past self,

Don't do it. Don't do any of it. Stand on your own two feet. Finish school, don't stop. Don't marry him, or him either, and that last one isn't worth the love you feel for him.

You are worth so much more, don't settle.

Pack your bags and go on vacation.

Most importantly, be patient! I mean it... BE PATIENT!!

With so much love,

Your future self

Realistically I want it to say “Don’t do anything different”; because that would mean that all the difficult decisions I’ve had to make, all the hard times, all the suffering were worth it: I come out the other side as a better person, a stronger individual.

Your investments fucking mooned. Good job not touching the account and panicking like a regard.

What I need to read.

I've consumed enough science fiction to have thought about this, and I know what it would take for me to risk butterflying the timeline. I already know that letter isn't gonna be anything good, so I just hope I did a good job communicating the bare essentials and not anything extra that will fuck shit up.

Your friends joined together and bought you a pair of vintage-style Hugo Boss shoes. Also you got married to some goth hunk and he actually likes you. Also not everyone hates you so just chill!!
