A letter from December 9th, 2012

Peaceful right?

Dear old FutureMe, Damn 25 are you really so old? Already gray hair? Just to remind you here is your 16 years old past. How is it going? I mean generelly everything all right? Are you still as happy as you know? locking forward to every single day and enjoing it even if it is shit? Well I know you so you are all right if not why? sort that out fast it is your 25th birthday and you don't have much time left in your life. I sorry to frustrate you at your birthday but you have to be realistic you are old in some ways... Ok come to the hopefully better parts of life. Had a great IB and after that nice time at University or are you still there and working(partying) hard? What are you actually doing there? Hope you know at least because I have no plan right now what to do once I am as old as you are ;-) How about girls? Had many? Hopefully you setteled now? Do you still remember your first girlfriend Pia? or even your first great love, Mara? When was the last time you had a relaxed beer with them? Why don't call them NOW? Told mum and dad that you love them? What actually was there future? Back in my days it wasn't going well between them ;-( I don't want to make you sad on your birthday but what happened to Barcley, the best dog on the world? I have so many questions I would like to ask you but unfortunally you can't answer to your past. Well I am in England right now, do you still meet some of the old Worth guys? Or at least having contact in some ways. Oh I was about to forget the most important part do you still have your gliding licence? Would be a pitty if not and I hope if you don't you are already writing an e-mail to the next aiport near you as you are probally not living in Germany any more and you want to continue gliding man. Oh If you still very engaged glider I am sorry for being so harsh in the last sentence but I wanted to make my point clear. Hope you sorted out your problems with English spelling as you are terrible right now and I find mistakes all the time. Wow? I can't belief I am writing to myself in the future, nice. Oh if this email doesn't reach you because you changed your contact details could the new owner of the adress please contact me in some ways? I hope there are enough information in the mail to find me. Well, happy birthday enjoy your day. Oh and if you can't read English anymore I hope they improved Google translate so you can change it back to German but I simply thought it would be more appropriate to write to you in English as I am in England right now and all this stuff. See you your 16 years old past is waving in mind.

Dear PastMe,

Receiving this mail from you has changed my perspective enormously, thus I would like to answer you. Not only your spelling, but also your math was improvable: I...
