So a while back in 2005, I did
this and got the email in today. Here's the original email, and my reply.
Dear
Future Me,
Happy Birthday! You're a year older today and I'm sure none the wiser. How are things with you? Please tell me you're not still single! How goes the job hunt? Friends still a-okay? Or have you shot a few down? I hope you've managed to travel to somewhere! How has life been for you so far? Just wanted to wish you on your (our) birthday, and hope you have a great time!
Yours faithfully,
Past Me
Dear Past Me,Thanks for the wishes! Every year I seem to have mixed thoughts about my birthday, but things seem to straighten out (pun intended) just fine on the day itself. Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm still single - though I've kinda come to terms with that, and believe it or not, I can occasionally be happy about it! The job hunt has ended - I have been working for just over a year now in a hectic company as an IT & Marketing chap, though I tend to do a whole lot of things! Friends are great and fabulous - this year has been great for meeting a lot of new people as well as reconnecting with some long-lost people. You should have *so* signed up for Facebook - there are loads of old classmates and relics on there! I did indeed travel this year - I headed to UK in February for company training, and it was great! London is such a vibrant city with so much to do as a first-time visitor. Though I was only there for a week, I am seriously considering going back for a short trip soon. Life has otherwise been pretty good for me - I have a car now! Yup - you heard that right! So I'm driving to work and have transportation 100% covered when I go out on the weekends! I'm happy where I am now - well and truly happy, and not just saying that. Maybe it just takes birthdays for people like me to realize just how good life can get? Anyway, that's the update from my side - see you again in 2 years!Love always,Future Me
