To: Future Me

Today, what I thought would be a normal day turned out be quite a funny one (this happened about half an hour ago). I had just gotten home from frantic Christmas shopping, did some chores around the house, then I sat down in front of my computer and checked my e-mails. I was surprised to find an e-mail from "Emailcapsules.com" titled "To: Future me"! At first I thought it was spam mail; my cursor hovered over the Spam button until curiosity got the best of me.

Once I opened it, I found a long e-mail from my ten year old self. In fact, I distinctly remember 5th grade me excitedly typing out this e-mail years back. It was impressively long, detailing the many "life problems" I had at the time and wishing myself a Happy Birthday (which is in a week) and a Merry Christmas. I then asked future me if I still liked [crush's name from elementary school]. It was quite amusing to read the younger version of me talk about how cuuuuuteee he was and how I should never give up on him because we were obviously going to get married later (unfortunately, I completely forgot about my crush back then until now).

I then proceeded to remind myself never to do drugs and alcohol. And then I ordered myself to go and hit my brother ("right now!!") because he had apparently hogged the PS2 the night before. "And then tell him that past Hannah finally got her revenge!". I also talked about a lot of other things, such as how much I wanted a puppy and a lot of childish things like that. At the bottom of the e-mail, I wrote, "AND REMEMBER! I love you future meee!"... which is kind of lame if you look at it but cute at the same time. :P All in all, this whole e-mail from the past really cheered me up. It also made me think of what a dork I must have been back then. Anyways, If any of you guys want to send an e-mail to your future self...here you go!

Happy holidays to everyone!
