A Letter

Hey Future me, whats up dude!?!

I know you are very wealthy and good looking, intelligent and popular, and think I'm kinda weird, but unless you've changed into a jerk, I know you can read over this like you are getting a letter from an old friend. I'm a friend for my part at least. I mean, I really hope you haven't changed into a jerk--that would ruin almost everything that I've striven for so far in my life. I've written you letters before, and  whenever I've gotten them I've always just skimmed them non-nonchalantly and thought they were pretty awkward and a little bit stupid. I shake my head because past me was so petty and immature. I know you won't judge me like that though because I'm more mature now than when I read those letters before, and I know that you are more mature than I am now.

Writing to you sucks because I can tell you anything and everything in an attempt to get it off my mind, but this relationship is kinda one-sided because you never write me back. I really wish you would. I'm sure the laws of physics will be able to be broken by the time you get around to this so it shouldn't be a problem.

I know there is that witty remark about how the destination isn't as important as the journey--yea, yea--but I really just wish you could share some of your wisdom with me! How did you do it man? How did you make it to where you are now? I could really use some of those nuggets you have attained over the years. How did you let go of the things that shouldn't have been dwelt on, and forget the things that were unimportant? I hate to be burdening you with all my crap--I'm sure that you've got some of your own to deal with, but I wish you could just let out one of your little laughs that you do, pat me on the back and tell me that it's not going to be so bad. Everything that I worry about now is pretty insignificant to the problems that I'll face coming up. Ugh, That's not much of a consolation. But in the same way that I thought it was the end of the world if I missed  a homework assignment in high school, and thought it was more of the end of the world if I failed a test in college, I know that you will be able to tell me with certainty that everything going on now isn't going to be an issue at all. It will work itself out.

Please. Just tell me it will work out for the best. That's all I want to know. And maybe a lotto number or great novel idea.

I can't really explain this. I know I don't have to though, because you've already been here. You know what it's like.

Your best bud,

Matt

P.S. I'd appreciate an answer pretty soon. I know you will be able to time it so I get it in the minute or two before I send this, with all the capabilities of physics in the future. I'm not into the whole delayed gratification thing so it would be awesome if I could get a reply before I even send this off. Even though I consider myself a very patient person, sometimes it's hard to keep everything in check.
