Dear FutureMe,
I'm writing this from my cubicle at work (remember Playboy?) - I feel like at age 28 I'm at another crossroads in my life trying to figure out what the hell am I supposed to do in this world (feels like I have been trying to figure this out since college!) - I will be 29 when I finish my Masters in Psych next year and at that point I will have to figure out if and how to transition into the field of mental health as a career.
Besides being in an existential crisis (which my mom tells me will be a lifelong crisis!), I'm very happy in my life - I have a bunch of great friends, a fun social life, a house that I adore, 3 cats (I've exceeded my limit), a steady job (though I'm still waiting for that raise), and I love being in classes at MSMC!
I guess the only thing that is missing from my life is a little love, but sometimes I think that I barely have time to miss it - I guess I'm just getting nervous as I approach 30 as a single woman. Will I ever get married? I guess you, my Future Self, know the answer to that question. And will I ever be a mother? Did I have the 3 kids I dreamed of? (already got the white picket fence!)
I know you will be happy at 38 (10 years from when I write this letter) - you are a happy person - and if you aren't, then you should be! I'm not sure where you will be in life when you read this, but just make sure it is a happy place. You already know that you create your own happiness. And I know you will be 10 times more confident and self-assured that you were when you were 28.
Hey, how did the thesis turn out that you wrote in grad school? Where did you celebrate your 30th birthday? Have you traveled to any exotic places lately?
See you in 10 years!
much love, the younger me/you
