Letter for you....

Dear future me,

I bet you weren't expecting a letter from your past self. were you?
Well, you probably were, considering we're the same person,
and you'd have to know I was writing you a letter since you wrote it in the past,
so I guess you know already what's in this letter, right?
Do I even need to write it?
If I don't write it... will that set off a chain of event that lead to the you who won't read this being
SOMEONE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT?!

Well, I'm going to write it.I guess I can't offer you infinite insight about your future since I'm writing forward as opposed to back, and I don't know what the future is going to be like, but I want to reiterate a couple of things for you that might be weathered by time to time.

Alright, for starters:

1) Sci-fi, animes, manga will always be awesome. Forever and always. Don't lose your passion for the genre, bro.

2) There is ALWAYS time. When it come to projects or assignment, the less of it you have, the better! Just, don't give up on something on the count that you feel there is no time for it. If it is important to you, you'll find the time.

3) Those people (they will be new people in future, the actor may change but the character are the same) who tell you "That's really reaching for the stars'" in a condescending tone, don't pat them any mind. They can play it safe if that is what they want but you should give it a shot. Even if you fail you will know you tried. Zero regrets, right?

4) You love plucking the guitar. I don't care what form of music appears in 2020 or 2040, no matter how mind blowing it may be, do not lose your love of the classics.

How old are yeee anyway? 30? 40?

Yes, I know I shouldn't know too much about the future, kind of eliminates the fun of not knowing, but I'm going to ask some stuff anyway.

1) How did you figure out what you wanted to do after lecture? I'm still pretty puzzled at the moment.

2) Did you work things out with you-know-who in the end? I really hope so. Yeah, I'm still stuck on that, and yeah, I'm still suck on that. Some people aren't worth our time but unfortunately we won't find that out until we spend it on them. Hopefully we don't waste too many more hours on people who don't warrant it.

I hope you appreciate this, future self. It's hard enough writing to the future. I can't really say "It will all work out" because I don't know if it will. Allah is the master-plan.

You've got the better half of this pen-pal fiasco. You can just say, "Remember when you did this, did that? Yeah don't worry about that" or, "You're gonna think doing this is a good idea, but trust me it is not". What can I say really? "Hang in there mate!"

Well, I have faith in you and I look forward to being you in time, In Shaa Allah, Allah willing. I'm greatly anticipating it so don't let me down mate!

P/s: if you haven't already, give being a rock star a try maybe, or form the coolest band? I hear it's a good gig. Never hurts to have a go!

Best wishes,

Your dear from another year.
