A letter from May 23rd, 2021

Dear Future Ian Escandor, The year is 2026. First off, I hope you are well and healthy. Please tell me you have kept on with daily meditations and daily exercises and daily skin care. These are important. Here is a recap of 2021. Your intention was to make your first million by the end of 2021. Although, this seems like a far goal right now - your business with Ricky and opnsrc.co is looking promising. We need to keep building - and keep pushing Ricky. He has a stronger skill than you, to build partnerships, which is needed. By the way, I hope you have become more assertive and confident in your approach. LEAN INTO CONFLICT. That's the goal of 2021. Also, you and Mae just broke up. It's a tough month for you. But you are getting better overall. Still cannot imagine who you could possibly end up with - but I hope she is a beautiful and supportive soul. Jhene Aiko's Chilombo and Olivia Rodrigo's Sour album is your break up album of 2021. You are about to drop Good As Gold! That's exciting and scary. Right now, you are avoiding thinking about how well it may or may not go - but remember, 5 years from now, you will be glad that you put it out. It's your best work to date. Family. How is your family. Stay connected to them. They keep you grounded and are your number one supporters beyond everyone else. Keep pushing Ruscel, stay close to Henry, give Cielo space to talk, check in on Mum, and learn the skills from Dad. Sunday Dinner is important. I hope your passions and projects are going well. You should be a master guided meditator by now, and taking on grand projects. I'm certain your comedy career soared in the previous years. Continue to follow your passion - and your life can do no wrong. Thank Jon, counsellor, for encouraging you to do this. I'm excited to see how this goes. Stay strong. Move with intention. Honour your self. Ian
