Letter to future self.

Dear Future Self (Jenna DeAbreu),

                It must have been difficult to get to where you are today. I hear you just finished your Bachelor of Applied Arts degree in Photography exactly like you wanted to! Where are you living now? Still at home or have you flown from the nest? Either way, how was Africa? I hear that you got some awesome shots! I really hope you are still determined to make it into National Geographic like you always wanted to. I know you can do it if you just believe in yourself. Keep sending them your shots and one day they will respond. How is the family? I hear Amanda just had her second kid! I bet you are the best Aunt Michael, and Jenny could ask for. They may not appreciate all the shots you take of them right now, but eventually they will understand the importance of documenting their life as children.  How is the family planning going? Any men catching your eye? ;) Or are you still with your high school sweetheart? Either way never settle for less, make sure that man tells you how special you are everyday! I hope that you are still talking to your parents. How about your dad? I know that the distance was hard, it was even hard for you when you were 17. But now you are 22 now, and I understand you are travelling a lot and busy trying to find a job, which is very difficult these days with this quickly downspiralling economy. So does that mean you have no time for family anymore? I hope you are still talking to him, as he is coming up on retirement he is going to have a bunch of free time that I bet you any money he would love to spend with his youngest child, as you are the only one not busy with starting your own family. How’s your mom? Is John still making her crazy? I hope and pray that you have gotten away from that hell hole, Longos. If not please do it now, before you become more attached. Some things don’t ever change though, so I wouldn’t doubt that you are still working there. Anyways, time for me to go. I hope your future brings good things! Love always!                   

               

                                                                                                                          Sincerely, Your past self.
