A letter from May 7th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, Salman Mohammed Ms. Broji 5/7/20 Pd-6 Letter to my future self Part 1: Post-reading reflection (10 minutes) Include two things: (a) What are some of the benefits that the author of this article claims come from writing a letter to yourself? and (b) Do you agree or disagree with her, and why? The author claims the benefit of writing this letter is a desire for balance and self acceptance. I agree with the author, I think that this letter is beneficial for me in the future. I agree how she talks you learn to accept yourself more even though i haven't experienced it like she did. It makes sense as u grow up, you accept your past self. Part 2: Write a letter to yourself 10 years from now What would you like to see in your future? What hopes or plans do you see? What does your life look like in 10 years? I suggest looking at Cerundolo’s letter and the question she poses at the end of the letter in particular. Your letter should be two paragraphs in length. If i am actually seeing this 10 years in the future, hey. I hope to see myself living a happy life in the future and actually doing what I like. I hope that I am doing great physically, mentally and financially in the future. I hope that I have a great job that I enjoy doing and that I am not stressed all the time like I am right now. I hope to see everybody that i know right now to be alive and well in the future. I hope i keep in contact with some of my close friends. I hope that I have found something that i really like to do. I hope as time goes on from today to then i won't be struggling too much and by when i reach that time i hope that i will think it was worth it. I hope i don't regret anything that i did in the past 10 years or even anything in my whole life to that point. I hope i don't go through a tragic event and end up suffering badly from it. I hope i don't suppress myself from doing something or being someone that i want to be because of others. I hope that I start resonating with my religion more and have a bigger cause for living than just myself. I hope in the future I don't mind what other people say and do whatever I want and act like I want, not like right now, always being affected by other people's opinions indirectly or directly. I hope I don't lose my qualities that I like about myself such as confidence, independence and being kind. I hope I don't become someone insensible and not a person that you wouldn't have a fun time around. I hope i have a better sense of what to do with my life by then. I hope i have gone through many experiences that have given happiness and sometimes even the opposite but ultimately have taught me something important and worth the experience. As for the world around me, I hope to see that we advance as a human race not just technologically but also humanely. I hope that people are more accepting of each other, people don't discriminate against each other because of race, religion, ********* and mainly viewpoint. I would like to also see making strides into outer space and hopefully more cures towards deadly disease today for example cancer. I would like to see earth in good shape even though it's probably not going to happen from what I see right now but we could have made strides to a better and healthier earth. I hope that we are striving all through the whole world and not just some parts of the world like right now. I hope I have a purpose by the time I read this because right now I don't see myself doing anything and to be honest that really stresses me out. I hope I see myself eating better and just generally taking better care of myself. i can go on for days about what I want from myself and others in the future so I hope that all of this is true when i am reading this in the future. Bye my future self.
