Time Travelled — almost 5 years

A letter from October 30th, 2014

Oct 31, 2014 Oct 31, 2019

Peaceful right?

Esteemed Veronika, This letter finds its way to you by means of an English composition class assignment. I write to you, my future self, from a mere twenty-three years of age. I am presently a full time student working three jobs, struggling to make a brighter future for myself. After my divorce and its aftermath, I really lost sight of who I was and what I wanted out of life. I still find myself horribly confused about love, life, and everything in between, though I am much more stable in knowing what is important to me and what I would like my future to hold. In 5 years, you will be twenty-eight years old. By then, you should have finished your degree and begun the journey of business investments. With a couple solid businesses under your belt, you should be working on starting the non-profit of your dreams, Idaho’s first farm animal sanctuary. You will probably still find yourself single and alone, yet determined and accomplished. The entrepreneur in you, coupled with your independence and drive will keep you well on the right track. Before this class, my writing was mediocre. I have many ideas and knowledge to share, but have a hard time doing so at a collegiate level. I am strong in voice and mechanics, yet my writing lacks organization, professionalism, and persuasion. I hope that by twenty-eight years old, you will have mastered the art of composing essays and other literature at a level in which people take you seriously and can sense your education and background through your words. Being a young business owner requires a lot of maturity and wisdom-- both of which are a constant journey-- but I know you can do it. In five years, you should have your head on straight. No more ridiculous late nights of irresponsibility, procrastination, and immaturity. You have a mission to accomplish, and I know you will make it happen with or without the support of the world around you. Echale ganas. With love, V
