A letter from September 22nd, 2020

Time Travelling — almost 5 years

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, Hey future me, I know that even though I'll likely never read this document again, I'll write this letter to you anyway. So, 5 years in the future, I imagine that by now I've finished high school, and I am about to finish my education completely, or I already have. I’m not sure what I want to do when I grow up just yet, but I have to start thinking about it soon. I believe that by this time I’ll still have that Altima. It’s not like it wasn’t gonna last me 5 years. I imagine that the Altima will never die on me, but I don’t really want to drive it around all these years. Hopefully in 5 years I’ll have enough money to buy myself a Challenger Scat Pack, but if not, maybe an older Corvette or a Miata? Either way, car is a car, but sports car is nice. I should at this time still be in North Carolina, I don’t really feel like leaving NC for many years. Sure, I have dreams of living in LA but LA is expensive and it’s really starting to get crowded and crime there is growing at an alarming rate. Either way, I still should be living in Roxboro. In 5 years I probably won’t have any kids, because I don’t want any until I have a good paying job that I know will be able to support a family. Maybe I’ll be married in 5 years, but unless something happens, I shouldn’t have any kids. I don’t expect to be making too much money in 5 years, seeing as I’ll only be 21 and making more than 80k by then seems far fetched. Hopefully I’m making at least 40k a year, doing god knows what. Maybe I’ll be a cop, a welder, maybe I’ll be in the army, or building computers, or maybe I’ll have achieved my dream of being internet famous. Hopefully that last one comes true. I’ll probably still be playing video games, especially VR. I’m super excited to see how far VR has progressed. I wonder if I’ll still have the same computer, but with just upgraded parts. Either way, I don’t see my activities that I enjoy as changing much at all over 5 years, so there’s that. That wraps up this letter. I’m gonna find a way to get this emailed to me by snail mail. See ya in 5 years dude, I hope everything is awesome. With love, Me (you)
