To future self
Older self, when you're doing the things you really love doing, nothing can stop you from getting it done. But come on, you're older than I am. You know this.
I want to remind you though that at the ripe age of 24, you don't have that. You hate your job. Actually, not at first. You loved it here your first year, can you believe that?? Then, eyes started opening. This is where you realized that you've met the first of probably (I hope not so) many horrible people in your life. This right here, darling, is where you learned that there are things, people, that are not what they seem. This is where you're at you're shittest, you stutter like I'm sorry but there's no other other way to put it, LIKE YOU'RE STUPID. Here is where you're anxious most of the time. Like everytime someone at work comes up to you with a f$#*ng question, it feels like an accusation. Please don't talk so much, especially when you're nervous. You're more prone to making a fool of yourself the more you talk. Actually, find a job where talking is at the bottom of the requirements' list. You can't talk. Trust me, you tried. And tried you did, in a very uncomfortable work setting. You're job right now, simply put, is not for you. You are not for this job.
So, future self, wherever you are now, I hope it's not here. I don't care if you're not rich, although I hope you have been traveling the world and not tired of it still. I do want you to live a life that people who know you get inspirations from. I hope you're an inspiration to the people around you now. I hope you're not grumpy like you were at 24. Most of all, I hope you're living a life as if you never have to work for it.
