Dear Future Self,
I know we haven’t had a round of proper introductions yet,
but there’s a favor I really need to ask.
I know it’s rude to request something from someone you won’t
even meet for five or six years, but this is really important.
I need a map for this thing called life.
You seem to be pretty good at navigating it since you’re already
ahead of me, and since I’m here and I really want to get where you are,
and you and I both know how bad I am at spoken directions, maybe
you could share a bit of an inside scoop with me?
You see, there are these things that are bothering me, and I’m sure they
bothered you at some point, too, but I’m having a tough time dealing
with them and I could really use your help in understanding them.
