Dear Laura of the Future,

(This was originally a facebook comment to Nenny, however, I believe it is something worth keeping.)


Dear Laura of the Future,
It is almost two and you should really be going to bed, but before any of that we need to have a serious talk. The beginning of the rest of your life is close, well, actually you missed it by seventeen years but that's "OKAY". Just know, for you - my future self, that if the choices are made and the choices fail miserably you will have at least learned something that you never would have otherwise. So, if you are the crazy artsy shy yet wild semi-vegan you want to be as of right now - I am proud. If you are nothing of the sort yet had every intention of being- I am proud. If you did not try and are not - well, we will never know. If you turned the other way because of what others say - YOU will be disappointed. So dear future me I write, I promise to not burn any bridges in case you decide other wise about being a vegan, or insane, or anything you are now, or anything you want to be. I will try my damnedest to make it that all you ever want to be you can be. But this, future me, is something I really feel I have to do..

Love,
That naive person you once were.


-gool.
