Dear Future Self...

*Before I start, I'd just like to say--it's been two extremely hectic and rocky months. Honestly, with everything that's happened, I sort of just neglected this blog. But for my sanity's sake, and because I don't want MF or any other readers to lodge a missing person report, I think it's time to show my HG face again. So without further ado, and before I completely destroy the nostalgic tone of this post...*

Dear future self,

I'm curious. I really am. What will it be like in 5, 10 years? Will I still be the same person this time next year? There are a million things I'd like to ask you, if the space-time continuum really did exist, and you were somehow able to read this, and respond in the comments.

Will I still be stressing over marks? Forever picking up the slack and getting dumped with all the work in projects? Do I get over this funk that has me constantly irritable and quipping sarcastic remarks? 

Does some idol-like and inspirational character finally enter my life? Or will I be forever doomed, stuck in a daily routine of mediocrity? Will I find some cause to rekindle excitement, or engage myself in a rewarding challenge?

Am I still in contact with my old friends? Or have they been replaced, by a circle of new people? What are my highest priorities? Have they changed? Do I still have the same interests? Play the same sports? Read Dramione?

How different is the world now? Do cars still exist? Have governments ceased to exist, or fallen apart as a result of unforeseen crises? Which songs are on the national Top 40? Have countries been covered by huge tidal waves, sucked back into the ocean, or destroyed by earthquakes? Which animals are now extinct, killed by human ignorance between now and then? Could any of this been prevented?

Back to me. Any advice? Any warning for some major catastrophe in the near future, that will have me fall apart, and take forever to heal again? Or is the worst almost over? 

If you could just tell me one thing, tell me this: in the future–your future–my future, am I happy?

Your past self,

The Hopping Grass

P.S. I'm scared to ask, but have Hopping Grasses also been wiped out?

eh. I know it's not the best, but as I haven't written anything in a month or so, I need time to get back in my "zone." xD This was inspired by a pretty cool website I found. Check it out!
