Dear future me/you, I’m hoping that this letter is received at a time when you are happy, healthy, and prosperous. I think about you from time to time, but I’m not sure that I’m doing enough to provide you with the aforementioned happiness, health, and prosperity (that you deserve). See I’ve got this problem where I continue to go through the motions and live without purpose. It’s almost as if I’m living a life that someone else plotted out for me. One that feels like I have little to no control over. I wake up, work, pay bills, occasionally go out or travel, sleep, then repeat. My friends, family, and even my own health take a back seat to this agenda. It doesn’t seem right or feel natural, but everyone else seems to be doing it, so I guess that’s just how life is. I make excuses as to why I don’t keep up with those who mean the most to me. I even occasionally downplay the importance of these people and social interactions in general. This helps me continue on my all important routine. I sometimes talk about retirement, and for those brief seconds I feel a buzz about my body, mind, and spirit. This feeling quickly dissipates when I think about my next shift, or an assignment I have due. I have a lot of uncertainty. I don’t know how I’ll look, feel, or even if I’ll be alive at all in the not so distant future. I want to do right by you, future self. I really do. But I don't know how... If you can somehow read this letter through the constraints of space and time, please give some insight. Sincerely, You/me **to be continued on #wellnesswednesday** https://www.instagram.com/p/BwBQ1EcgvqA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bha2a3ibs0ch
