Today’s prompt: Write a letter to yourself in 20 years.
Dear Future Self,
Are you balanced yet? I can’t believe you’re reading this and are 48 years old!
Have you accepted aging yet? Right now, as it stands, I hate being a grown-up.
Yeah, it’s a bit like that, and has been since we’ve been… gods only knows anymore! Hah!
Are you and Aussie still together? I hope so! How are the kids? They’re all grown up now. I can’t believe Kat is 32!! I hope she made it through college and is working at a Zoo like she dreams. Oh my, this means that Lisi is now 26! Wow… how much has changed with them over the years?
I really hope we’re happy…
I really hope we finally found meds that work perfectly enough that we can survive.
Did we finally move out of Idaho? Out of anyplace with an overly harsh and emotionally disastrous winter? I hope so! This long in the future and somethings bound to have gone right… right?
Please remember to bring the kids home for Holidays. Invite them for sushi, take the grandkids (if we have any!) trick or treating, hand out candy, decorate, make costumes, do stuff! Enjoy life because you have the chance!
You’re still young, even if I already feel old in all the pain I’m in.
Hey, have you figured out what that is at all? I hope so, because I’d hate for us to still be in pain so many years in the future. That’d suck!
Did you ever get that tummy tuck we wanted? How’d the weight loss go? Are you looking as awesome as we’ve always wanted?
So what color is our hair now? I wonder if we’re lucky enough to go silver on our own… or are we still all funky and punky colored? That’d be fairly cool too. 😉
Hope all is well! Be good to yourself and Aussie!
~Your younger self.
