So, this is my thing-a-day for the fourth day. It is being posted now because although I finished the thing in time, it had repercussions that caused me to... get in a really foul, depressed mood (I mean it was for the better, it caused me to really think about things, but still) and needed to step away from it for awhile. What I had decided to do was write myself a letter to open five years from now, or when I graduate college, whichever happens first. So, I started writing about things that were happening right now, and how I wanted to handle them better in the future or should handle them, going a lot over myself and the way I am and general advice for myself. Suffice it to say it got pretty emotional. I had to stop at one point in the middle of writing it. But I'm gratified to have done it, I feel like I said everything I needed to in a sense, and I really can't wait to see the person I am in five years and how I'll be looking back at in, what situations I'll be in - and maybe, if I'll need that advice and those reminders then.

It ended up being a full page back and front. There are more pictures beneath the cut.

My post for today's thing-a-day will be up later. :) It's much simpler (emotionally and physically haha).

That's a really good idea, but I see what you mean about it being less-than-simple. I think that's a bit more personal than I'm willing to try, at least for a public blog!

You've got me wondering now though about writing a letter to the present me as if it were from a future me, and putting it away until future me is present, and seeing how far off I was...that sounds a lot more complicated written out than it is in my head!
