A letter from May 16, 2025

Dear FutureMe, I just made chatgpt look into the future and write fiction for both my success and demise at age 50 or 60. The success is something that I have been told over and over again. Maybe I have told it to myself as well. but the demise. if nothing works and I regret not having reached my true potential. If I let that feeling overpower me then that would be the worst thing. Above any thought or ambition is the necessity to be happy. The sheer requirement to be in full mental capacity. And I believe, truely believe, that you are not in that state right now. I really believe that you will be successful, even though I also believe that you will be too ambitious to realise it, you will always be moving that goal post. if that has been you all these years; I am not going to say stop; rather I'll say I am proud of you. I hope you are too. And on that note, take a break if you need it. Don't let work or anything get to your mind. This is a lonely world. It has been lonely way before you ever got into business (I think I am at the edge of that era now). The world was lonely even when you were surrounded by "friends" So the only true company that you have , is yours - (unknowingly, but) company in both sense of the word. So take care of yourself. I hope you still feel excited to wake up in the morning, because if you remember, that is what we were working towards. Keep smiling and take care, You - the naive, a little ambitious and over think kind. Hopefully you are wiser now. Who am I kidding, I bet you are! Take care, You.
