15. A Letter To Your Future Self

Dear Future Self,
Remember who you were a decade ago? What about three years ago? What about two months ago? What about yesterday?
What I want to tell you is, things happened that had never dared to cross your mind before. People came into your life and left while some stayed. Some of them for their reasons and others for your own.
What I have learned is that we’re all part of this matrix/adventure/dream/Droste effect/whatever you would like to call it and sometimes it can feel futile (not necessarily in a negative way).
You have asked yourself and wondered abysmally about the significance of life and your purpose. I don’t want to establish the answer just yet (heck, we’re only 20 for goodness sake) but it would be funny to tell you a theory that has been proven time and time again. The theory is sort of like the first thermodynamic law.. only that it finds application in human relationships and, instead of energy not being able to be created or destroyed, it involves a constant cycle of change through self reflection.
Sometimes, your sense of ethics can clash with that which is good for your health (mentally speaking, in this case) and it happens to everyone, really.
I want you to know that I don’t know what you will be like in 5-10-15 years from now; I don’t know if you’ll read this and think how naïve you once were, I don’t know if you’ll still be here.
What I do know is that the optimization (if you will) of your time on this Earth can be reached (or partially reached, for that matter) if you have an open mind and an open heart.
Alongside with this, you can find peace through forgiveness and the presence of love behind a lot of your actions. Those, as you have realized time and time again throughout the hardships, have proven to enlighten your soul and mind.
Appreciate the small moments for they will be gone before you know it.
I don’t know if you’ll still be on the path that you have chosen but I am optimistic that you will try your best in whatever you set your mind to.
Keep making mistakes, keep taking risks, keep dreaming and keep the rhythm going. That having said, don’t hesitate to stop every once in a while to observe and value the people around you and your challenges behind and waiting ahead for you.
Love,
Past Marilena
