Future Me
June 27th, 2025
Hey!
In a month I'll be 25 years old. 25! Can you believe it? And you'll 30 soon as well. Happy birthday my friend.
Right now I'm in the midst of burnout at my job. This job that me and you couldn't have ever believed we get when we were, say, 10 years old. That's 15 years ago for me, and it'll have been 20 years ago for you! Time flies, doesn't it?
I'm sure, you've probably forgot some about how I felt in this moment, just as I forgot some how I felt preparing for college at the age of 15 years old, and my career worries around the age of 20 years old. It's amazing how much perspective 5 years is.
I hope, well, there's no pressure either way, but I hope you've got what you wanted. At the moment I think 30 year old me would like a wife and kids, but perhaps that'd change by your time. Hopefully not though, and hopefully you've made great steps towards carving good relationships in our life.
I hope your worries settle, whether that's with your relationships or the potential kids or the state of the world. Anyhow, I really do hope everything works out.
A last reminder, because everytime I read something younger me wrote I'm impressed at how much wiser and smarter they are in comparison to myself, I'll leave off with a quote. Remember to remember what Wittgenstein said! "Tell them, I've lived a wonderful life."
This journey is only so long, so please, enjoy it with that joie de vivre.
Cheers,
Lanhful
