Letter from 22 year old Megan
"DO NOT OPEN UNTIL November 13th, 2023
Date:Â November 13th, 2013
Dear Megan,
Today I am 22 years old. My friends Jackie, Suz, Beccah and I love doing all sorts of things, such as lying around the apartment, netflixing, and eating. No joke. Thatâs literally what we do. What Iâll remember most about 2013 is graduating college and getting a full-time job offer in Atlanta. My biggest accomplishment of the year was getting the job! My favorite book this year was Fault in Our Stars. And by far, my favorite movie of 2013 was is probably going to be Catching Fire but obviously I havenât seen it yet - so perhaps instead Star Trek Into Darkness? Thor was good too. In ten years, I predict Iâll be living in London, ideally, with a cute labradoodle and a smoking hot husband (AND OH MY GOD, with kids?! Holy crap Iâm going to be 32.) Otherwise, in LA or Atlanta. I hope to become a ridiculously paid CPA. The friend Iâll most likely keep in touch with is - is it a cop out to say all of them? We have things called facebooks, you know. One of the goals I hope to accomplish by 2023 is an international rotation with my firm and a promotion to manager. I also hope that in ten years, someone will have invented a teleportation device - that will make life much better! For now, what I love most about being 22 years old is sleeping in and only working 20 hours a week (granted, Iâm very poor right now and Iâm hungry like 90% of the time, so Iâm not exactly going to miss it when I finally get to move to Atlanta.) See you in ten years! Love, Megan P.S. I hope you remember to take the time to spend time with others and enjoy the little things in life. Love your work, but donât make it your priority. There are much more important things than success."
Today, on November 13th 2013, I read a letter that my 12 year old self wrote in 2003. I kept the same format and wrote a new version for my 32 year old self. Annnnd, I'm setting it to publish for November 13, 2023. Here's hoping that I still have a Tumblr. (Pshhhh, who am I kidding? Of course I'll still have a Tumblr.)
