Letters from the Past

Throughout my younger years there were times where I would try to imagine what my future self would say to my younger self to tell my future self in the different future. That is, at the moment I would envision what myself would tell me to tell myself in case the future I had envisioned changed. I would leave these letters littered throughout various papers so that in the event I would find them my current self would be able to reflect upon them. 

Some of them were cryptic one liners than even the most mystic soothsayers would not be able to decipher with ease. Some of them were meaningful and full of optimism. Others were from a darker time and carried a darker tune. 

Regardless of what they said the message was always the same: "As usual we're probably not where we want to be, but I know we're where we need to be." Even now I wonder if those words were to be of encouragement to strive for my dreams, or words of humility because I crave for more.
