Letter To Yourself From Yourself (10 Years in the Future) (#3)

Dear Daryl,

            I remember when you used to say, “the stuff you do now controls the outcome of your life in the future”.  I can tell you now that you are totally right. The future holds a lot for you, Daryl. Remember how Mom and Dad and your teachers always said you had “something going for you”, or “your future looks bright”. Remember when Jonathan used to say he would pay you if you would find the cure to AIDS so that he could keep “gettin’ it in”. You were so curious about the future, and now here I am, the future you. I do not want to tell what is going to happen, but I will forewarn you and lead you onto the right paths.

            Hopefully, you still have that ambition to get good grades. I’ll tell ya, you will need them. Your grades will bring you very far. They will help you get that dream job and that perpetual cash flow.  There may be times when the work will be hard, but know that the benefits are plenty in the future.

            Stay close to your family and friends. They will be your support throughout life. Remember to always put them ahead of yourself. Just think of all the things they do for you now and think of all the things they will do for you in the future, and I know they will do a lot.

            I bet you were expecting a lot of facts from the future, but that’s just unfair, and I know you know that. If you keep up your grades and relationships, the future you have always wanted will become a reality.

                                                                                                With love,

                                                                                                Daryl

P.S. Riddhi’s a keepa.
