hi.
it's me, yourself in eight years.
no, it's not a joke.
yes, you'll build a time machine.
you'll do a lot actually. you'll vote twice, fall in love once and a half, own a bmw, work at a grocery store, go to college, move halfway across america, and hold down the job you don't even know you've always wanted.
i know this must come as quite a shock to you. but before you get all excited and giddy (trust me, you don't grow out of that), know that it all comes at a price...
both presidents suck, the first love turns out to be psycho, you break the second's heart and lose her forever, you'll wreck the beamer, get fired from every grocery store you ever work at, and be kicked out of college.
and you know that move across america? half of the reason you even go is because everything where you are reminds you of her.
things aren't all bad, but i'd be lying if i said you didn't screw me over on countless occasions.
the funny thing is, that you still will.
you'll still do it all, this letter hasn't changed a thing. but somehow, we will learn to live with it.
we learn from our mistakes and move on.
and sometimes, we just learn from our mistakes.
whatever you do, don't complain. you don't deserve to.
you have brought it al upon yourself.
sincerely,
-us

Things don't go according to plan. Life does suck. It's not fair. No matter how hard you try, you're just going to get screwed over.
Well, wasn't that uplifting?
In all seriousness, life never turns out how we plan, which is what makes life interesting in itself. Let go, and don't plan your day according to how YOU want it to go but see where life leads you instead. If you can release that control, everything will fall into place. I think we both know that life is a bumpy road but good things can come from bad situations. In the meantime, make everyday count and live it to the fullest.
Dude. I don't know about you but I'm sick of people telling me to "let go." I continually pray to God asking Him, "How do I just let go?" I still hope one day I'll figure out how to let go to my biggest hurts in life. Until then, I just pray for strength to make it through another day and focus more on others than me. I liked this entry; it reminded me of "Letter to Me" by Brad Paisley.
