Letter to Myself from Me

Dear Kiran (aged 30)

Hi !

*waves hand*

*high five*

I'm SO excited to meet you!

I often hear that your version of me will be more sensible and mature. And when I turn into you, my life will be more stabilized and will finally be in a position to fulfill all my life long dreams.

No wonder I'm so excited to meet you!

But, there are certain things wish to know.

First of all, how similar are you to me?
Or rather, how different are you from me?

Is the change too dramatic?

I know change is an essential part of life, but I wish to maintain my authenticity and remain true to my Core Inner Self throughout my life.

Have I managed to do that?

Despite all our difference, is our "Essence" the same?

Next about my dreams.

How many of my dreams do you see fulfilled?

Or, are our dreams and desires different?

Do you find my dreams to be silly and childish?

What are YOUR dreams and goals?

Uff…too many questions, right?

I'm sorry for that…just couldn't hold my curiosity.

Anyways, looking forward to meet (and merge) with you at the earliest.

Love,

Kiran (aged 22)

P.S. Just one last question. Do marks, grades, and other such things hold any value for you?
What are things that YOU value the most in life?

XOXO
