A Prayer to My Future Self

I hope you have truly lived…

A Prayer to My Future Self

First off, I pray that while you're reading this, you still remember the amazing things that have happened to you so far.

I hope you never forget the little things, like your first kiss, high school graduation, and lifelong friendships that you created. I pray that you have accomplished your goals, but never forget where you started. I pray that you have found joy in your work, your home, and your family. As the going gets tough, I also pray that you still have a strong faith, because without it, you wouldn't be anywhere.

As I am writing this, I have a vision for my future, and who I want to be in it. I pray the relationships that I have formed are still strong, and if not, I pray that you try to mend them with the people whom we truly know we love the most. I pray you have found a passion, a true dream, and a purpose for your life, just as I am praying for one now.

I pray you still have dreams, and never stop believing that anything is possible. I pray you have created a family, and love them more than you ever thought imaginable. I pray you still ask for advice from your parents, and still have a permanent place in their home. I pray you are a role model to others, and to yourself, through the good times, and the bad. I pray you never lose hope, because you are capable of anything.

Most of all, I pray for your happiness. I hope you are living a life that is meaningful towards you, and towards others. I hope you are compassionate, brave, and still as strong-willed as I am today. I pray that you still see the best in everyone and every situation, even if it is still your biggest downfall.

I truly pray that you love yourself, and stay true to who you are, because there is no one more deserving of a beautiful life, than you.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
