A letter from October 5th, 2014

Peaceful right?

Hey there J-S! I'm currently 26 years old, 6th week into the last year at Sheridan in Animation. Not so sure about how "our" film is going to turn out, not even so sure about my future in the animation industry quite honestly! I feel so behind artistically! So for a re-cap, I am currently passionated with art, aspire to one day work for a big animated feature film studio, its pretty much the drive of my life really. I am determined to prove to myself and others that one can suceed in art even if you didn't grow up doing it and stuff. I have been in a relationship with Krystal Ruplall for only 2 weeks now, how did that turn out? It's really hard to tell how things are going to evolve since so many things could happen by the end of the year..! And also I had been single for the past 7 years or so so it was quite a scary new situation for us at the time. It's a bit sad to think that by the time you get this, Pistache will very most certainly be dead by now. Did you get a dog like you always wanted?! If not you should consider it! So anyway, heres what I'd like to know now! I really hope our life is turning out in a way that makes us happy. I am a little bundle of optimism usually even though I have my lows, so it would be sad to see that go! Are you married yet? Do you have kids? I always wanted a girl named Sakura, do you have that? o.o I want a family so hopefully you got that going for you =) I hope you still draw.. remember, you wanted to go into art because even if you disliked your job, at least you would be doing something that made you work on yourself instead of just collecting a paycheck. We only have one life so it would be a shame to live it for some stupid corporation without getting anything in return! We always were creative so I hope we still are 10 years later.. (wow I'm 36 now..?!) How was the animation industry venture? Did it work? Did you get a good job? Thats something that really worries me right now! Who knows what the future has in store for me..! Well, you do now, but I don't! I hope mom and dad are still living and healthy, it really feels weird sometime to go back home and see them age while I'm gone. so I hope you still keep in touch if you can. Its a bit scary to send this letter to myself, because who knows what will happen in 10 years. I hope you will read this and think to yourself that your 26 years old self would have been proud of how things turned out. And you know what, I don't want to write an alternative ~ Just keep being the guy you were at 26. Be happy, be positive, be stuborn, never give up and follow your dreams! Live life for yourself and those you love! Signed, your past self. Kero.

Dear past J-S!

I remembered part of this letter fairly well but I didn't remember I had made it so long and elaborate, so that was a fun surprise!
