A letter from August 13th, 2020

Dear Future #1, How's it going? I hope you fare well, it's been a while. Last time I wrote this for you it was 4 years ago, you can search your inbox for it, I bet it's still relevant. Just type 'futureme' I hope you still know how to operate these simple search engines, oldie. What is it, you're 32? pftt, welcome to the 30's newbie. Mi sono promesso molte cose durante questo periodo. Ho promesso di prendere le cose con calma, ho promesso di essere più attento, ho promesso di studiare l'italiano, ho promesso di essere un uomo migliore, ho promesso di essere migliore con me stesso, ho promesso di avere ragione di più, abbiamo promesso di rimanere fedeli a noi stessi , abbiamo promesso di trattare meglio coloro a cui teniamo, abbiamo promesso tutto a nostra madre e abbiamo promesso che questa volta è un momento di cambiamento. Using google translate? I really hope not, cause we promised ourselves a lot of things and one of them (as mentioned) is studying Italian. I hope you're still doing comedies (stand-ups that is), did you ever actually DO one yourself or are you still simply watching them occasionally, anyway both are fine, well I mean if you've done both, **** you're fine boi. Oh yeah, did we (almost!) finish our time at the academy for now? Last time I enquired about this (4 y/ ago, yea?) I said "I'm guessing you're nearing the end of your high education (At least your first degree)" when in actuality RN I'm going to begin my "2nd year" for the second time (out of 5, which turned to 6). Technically you should be done by now, if not if something (whatever) popped up by now, it's still fine, you're fine I hope that you've continued on this road but I acknowledge that the future holds nothing granted for us and I know that you have your own set of values/limitations and I hope that those changed a bit but that some of those stayed the same as well anyway you're fine more than that, I'm certain keep climbing brother. There's a lot more to life than certainty. You could live an uncertain life and a good one at the same time. Look, brother, look, me: You are your best at doing you at any given point in time, You are a sum of all of that you passed until now and that is the best that you could strive to be, The past resides where it should, the future is undecided and you are a shining example of what a story like yours can portray. I hope you're nearing the end of your studies, we kinda like this Architecture thing, even regardless of the Urban-Planning dream (that we will achieve if continuing on this road, in due time), if that's the case then I know that you excel, I know that we have a ton of gratitude to show to our nuclear family for they gave us a lot, I hope the old folks are doing fine, what are they, like 65 and 62? Life is strange my friend, it's fickle and nerving at times, it's unexpected and so pleasant at the most surprising minuscule moments. It's not about this or that, it's about what we do with what we have and what we use from what we have in what we do, I think, dude words of wisdom a day after a break-up and after one cup of coffee and 2 hours of weakness, I could be a poet with this amound of smugness. I'm kidding, poets are awesome. Dude I love you, this is getting too long for you (and me), az yallah ciao. It's time for me to continue on to become 28. Peace 20's it's my time to say my goodbyes. ביי ילד, ושלום גבר
