Futureme email to myself

Dear FutureMe, Hey. How did everything work out? How's the kid? Did you really end up doing what you wanted to? Do you still hold it against her? I'm writing this now, to me, which sounds stupid, but I think in the 5 years this will take to get to me, I'll need it. Everything will work out. Everyone has dreams and aspirations, but life sometimes gets in the way. I think in 5 years, I'll need to understand that the mistakes of today can be the blessings in the future. What happened, happened, and I have no one but myself to make the best of what happened. Look on the bright side, there's always a bright side, that's the key to making sense of it all, understanding that nothing is really as bad as it may seem. There's never a shortage of things to be happy about, and I hope in 5 years, I'll understand that, and be able to recognize it better. Have you told them yet? Was it really as bad as you thought? Probably not. I wish you could email me, and tell me not to be so afraid of it. I think that when I read this again, I'll understand that it may be the best thing that will ever happen to me.
