30 Day Catch up!
29–Futuristic Thinker
Write a letter as your character to themself 10 years from now. What are some hopes/wishes they might have for their life? What kind of a person do they hope to be? Is there something new they might desire 10 years from now? What might they hope will stay the same? What advice would their current self give their future self?
Charlie,
How are you? I hope your nightmares are over. I hope you’ve managed to grab hold of them and tell yourself that everything will be okay. I know you still miss mom and dad. It’s hard not to and I sincerely hope that you keep their memory alive. Don’t forget to visit them and don’t forget the family reunions at the State Fair .It’s okay to miss them, Charlie. I don’t think that’ll ever go away. By now, you must have a child or maybe two? I know a lot of fear came with that. I’ll tell you something I should be telling myself now, in the present and that’s that your fears aren’t irrational With that said, you’re going to give those kids the best mommy they could have, the best mommy you could be because I know how important that is for you. I hope you make them waffles in the morning with the funny faces and you draw on their lunch bags and you take them on “airplane rides” around the house. I hope you enrich their minds and read to them and read them poetry until they fall asleep beside you. I hope you build their library like you did for yourself. I hope you encourage relationships and show them the importance of them. Let Sidney lead the way. He’s already such a great kid.
Stay friends with Marcus and Mason. They’re two peas of a pod and they sometimes share a mind but they love you with their being. You’re definitely like a sister to them. Keep Trixie close to you. Tell her you love her and remind her she’s your sister. She needs to know. Just trust me on that. Don’t forget to tell Liv how special she is and that’s the reason why Trixie loves her so much. I hope your relationship with Dorothy has flourished and the two of you are out snatching wigs when need be! Maybe you and Izzy have opened up your own place by now! If so, good luck you two!
Ten years from now you’d be married to Ben for that long. I don’t know if things have progressed from where you are now into something else but you do have children together and I’m sure you’ve both figured out how to work through your issues with the law. Together. As a unit. Truth be told, you were both a unit long before the letters. In helping Trixie, or in just being in each other’s lives, there was always an “us” in one way, shape or, form. You’re both too stubborn to admit that. So keep that. Keep it, embrace it, let it be. Be good to him. Remind him of all the good things he represents for you; his friendship, his loyalty, his kindness, how much of an amazing kisser he is but also never hold back in calling him out when he’s driving you up the wall. Keep up the banter. The cute, flirty, like no one is in the room banter and the heated, yelling that doesn’t last for too long before you’re both laughing kind as well. He’s scared. Just like you. Or at least he is now but I doubt that’ll ever go away. Like you, he’s lost so much. Remind him that, in spite of everything you’ve both lost, you found and have one another and that’s something not everyone can walk away with. Spend less time bickering and nagging and more time kissing away the hurt. You’re both broken but you can both be warriors too. Lastly, take that strength and that unconditional care you have and give it to your child (or children). Good things can come of all this. I hope you two are one of them.
Finally, I hope you’re still smiling. I hope you’re still giving people the benefit of the doubt. I hope you’re pursuing your dreams. Keep running. Keep loving. You’re not alone, girl. Mom and dad will always be with you.
Love you,
Charlie
