“Your future self sees you tonight. What do they make of who you are? Write eight lines from them to you, and eight lines back to them, from you.”

Dear Present Dave:

Go easier on yourself. You’re human. You’re allowed to mess this up sometimes. As long as you don’t dwell too much on those screw ups You’ll be okay. You’re where you need to be. You should definitely read more. You need to write more. Find something you’re passionate about and stick to it. You don’t want to reach my age and be stuck in the same place you’re in now. Continue to work on yourself and make the most out of what you want in this life.

Dear Fewture* Dave:

Does it get easier? What should i get myself into these days? I have nothing but time in this lockdown. I always feel lost, like a shell of who i could be. But enough about me. I believe in you to be honest. I know you’ve made something of yourself. That you went for what you wanted most. That you’ve been a positive member of whatever communities you have reached. I hope you’ve touched the Seven continents. I hope you’ve climbed that mountain. I hope you worked on yourself. That you’re a good father. I hope I just get to make it where you are.

P.S. KyAsia thanks for the prompt. You’re missed.

P.P.S. The song of my day is… Erykah Badu- Hello.
