A letter from Jun 07, 2022

Dear FutureMe, How are you doing these days? How is life? Currently, you are 22 years old and it is the summer of 2022. You finished college a month ago and are now trying to find a job. It is not easy, and this worries you. You are trying to be positive, take things slow, and only apply to jobs that really speak to you. But time is passing by quickly and you feel like you won't be able to find anything anytime soon. You are currently wishing you could jump to the future... skip to the good part, but that is impossible. Either way, I don't think you would want to skip on the lessons you'll learn along the way. I know something will come my way soon, but I still can't help but feel like I'm stuck and I'm not doing anything to better my life. Anyway, 27-year-old me, has this problem been solved? Have you found a job yet?? (Are we gonna find it soon?) Did you end up getting your real estate license? Are you working as a realtor, or did you go back to school to get a degree in interior design? If, that didn't happen, then why not? I imagine that as you read this, the past 4 years are flashing through your mind and you are answering every one of my current questions. Enough about work... As a 22-year-old, you have never had a boyfriend. There has never been anyone to interest you enough to get past the talking stage... well there was someone that had potential, but we already know why that did not work. Anyway... are you still single? Or have you found that special someone? Do you have kids? Or are you thinking of adopting? Did you move out and get your own house and start a beautiful garden? It might be too soon for that, but are these still your plans for the future? Now some general questions... How are mom and dad? J, K, and A? How are the babies? How are they doing in school? Has K married yet? A would have graduated high school by now... is she in college? You are currently thinking of adding more to 8 Years... did you ever finish writing that? Have you traveled to any of the places on your bucket list? Do you still listen to BTS? How are your seven best friends doing now? (The Truth Untold is currently playing). What more have they achieved? Have you met them yet? Now to finish... are you happy? Do we, in the next four years, find the happiness we are looking for? Do we find ourselves again? Or are we still going through life without a purpose? Only living to live. I hope the answer is yes, and if not then at least I hope we are close to doing so. If not then, I advise you to drop everything and reevaluate your life. Think of what you need to do to truly be happy. Think only about yourself. Follow your heart and do whatever it is that will give you a long-lasting memory, that will resurface every time someone asks you about a happy time in your life. Do whatever it is that you need to do in order to not lose yourself completely. Even if you might think it is too late, try again, it is better to have tried and failed, than not have tried at all, and live with regrets. Anyway, if no one has told you today... I Love YOU ( a lot). You are a special human being, who was born for a purpose, now go find it. P.S. Happy 27th Birthday!! (go have some cake) Te Quiere, AB del Pasado.
