A Letter to Future Self

Dear Future Self,

Do you have any regrets? What are your most mournful moments in life? If you‘re given a second chance, would you alter anything about your past life?

I’ve posed this simple question, knowing that most people would rue their past, whether they had good or bad memories. Because, it’s human nature, they would never be satisfied, for they’d seek perfection in an imperfect world. But, how about you? Are you those people? Or are you a man, who made mistakes, fell down, and rose above circumstances, to live life to the best of his abilities? I’d hope the later.

I’m sure not all regrets mean bad. But, as long as you’re not so mournful to a point your eyes turn red, you have the rights to feel few regrets about the choices you’ve made in life.

Today, when you read this letter, laughter is one of the many things that should come to mind instantly. You should laugh, because you’re alive—that means more than anything. Secondly, the days you thought could not possibly be bearable, now vanished and became a distant memory; they’re more like a flickering dim light on the far-reaching horizon.

So, keep this letter close to your heart, for it’ll give you some comfort that you’ve done fine, and you’ve lived to see so much, even if you have any reservations.

Just breathe, and know this for sure, everything will be okay!

Yours Truly,

MI
