What should you have done this year but didn’t because you were too scared, worried, unsure, busy or otherwise deterred from doing? (Bonus: Will you do it?)
Buying a house. Moving. Giving any identifying details on this blog. Asking my GYN for more information. Paying attention to my inner voice and trusting that I'm not heading in the right direction...
I would love to say yes I will do any of these things. But I'm scared!
December 21 – Future Self.
Imagine yourself five years from now. What advice would you give your current self for the year ahead? (Bonus: Write a note to yourself 10 years ago. What would you tell your younger self?)
Dear Now Me,
I give you permission to enjoy this time with your husband and enjoy being free, go on as many adventures as possible, seriously crazy ones. Explore who you are. Explore who your husband is. Create more. Write. Work set hours and come home on time. Watch for an opportunity coming your way to go off the beaten path because the path you are taking is not working. Keep working out, its a good thing for both of us. Please cut back on the cheeseburgers and fries: they are not working for us.
Love,
Future Me
Dear Younger Me,
Quit your job, right now. Seriously, just walk away. Go back to school, volunteer somewhere in the art field. Volunteer with children too. You'll figure it out. But get the heck outta there. And file that harassment claim. Next, stop picking fights with your boyfriend. He will stay with you through it all, so stop worrying so much that he will leave. (Also, you will end up getting married, although he takes a loooong time getting there, its totally worth it).
Stop smoking. You will quit in a few years anyway, but its too far away. Its not that hard, it just sucks the first day but it gets better. You will feel better instantly. And start working out. It helps with the depression and anxiety and you deserve to feel better about yourself. And while you're walking away from your job: walk away from McDonalds and Coke and sugar. The devil, all three.
Enjoy the time you have with your family now: it will get more complicated in the future and you will have missed this valuable time. Especially with your brother.
Love,
Now Me
