Letter to the Future
Dear 2023 Hannah,
How has life been? Do you remember living in House on Iowa ave, eating Sunday dinner with friends, Lunches at Burge (oh, how great are cooks and dishwashers?), junior year, Jamie, going to Arizona with M and S, gearing up for trip to Europe?! What new technology has happened since back here in the dark ages? Do we remember our first two acer laptops? Do you remember the idea for a new book format you had that would let readers watch as the book was being written? Teleportation yet? (doubtful :P)
Where do you live?! What are you doing? Are you doing something you either 1. Enjoy or 2. has a kick-ass salary?
Do we remember what it was _like_ to be 21 yr. old Hannah? She's currently gaining an appreciation for wine, she love being outside, she spends too much time on the internet doing nothing, she plays diplomacy and gurps, she watchs game of thrones, vampire diaries and the walking dead. She writes dream journals, Skinny Coast, and random poems. She just started liking country music. :P
What new styles of music have come out? Do we remember Love,Love,Love by avalanche city, Satellite by guster, all of our favorite classic rock songs? Is love still as important to us? Did we find someone who is not just our love but also our equal, our best friend, but still more than that? Did we waste time having kids? Does that phrasing bother us? :P
Have we made it to Australia? Japan? Hawaii? Italy again? Scotland? Russia?
Did we spend a year after college traveling? In another location? Working? Adventuring? Teaching?
Do we still keep in contact with old friends (I know we're never all that good about it). Did we make up with Steve? Did we keep track of House? Did we ship Megan and Ryan together correctly?
How is the economy? Back in 2013 I can get a decent lunch at z'mariks in IC for 7$, rent is 385/month, a laptop for 400-500, phone service for 45/mo, froyo for less than 5. Do we still love trying new foods? Do we still love passionately? Do we still listen to songs and smile or laugh for no reason? Do we remember why exactly we love who we love, appreciate them, and tell them why? Do we remember to play games, talk to friends, _appreciate_ things, and express ourselves?
Do we still feel happy, lucky, and loved? Has every year gotten at least a little better than the last? 2013 was the last year we had any grandparents, have our thoughts on death changed?
Are we still an earth bound sun? Do we remember what it feels like to be cute, adorable, happy, envied, but also envious? Remember being young!
Do we remember our past fondly? Who had the biggest impact? What would you have told me, message from the future?
Finally, do we have any pets? and if no, WHY NOT?
Lots of love,
Hannah, ca. 2013 (I'm sure it was a great 10 years, cheers to many many more to come.)
