💌 A Letter to My Future Self

Dear Future Me,

Our English teacher asked us to write a letter to ourselves, and she promised to mail it to us in ten years. So hello! I am fourteen and a half, and you are probably twenty-four or twenty-five now. I wonder if you still remember me.

Let me remind you what my life is like. I live in Be'er Sheva with Mom, Dad, our dog Pita and my annoying little sister, Hila. I am in ninth grade, and my favorite subjects are biology and art. I spend too much time on my phone, I am learning to play the guitar, and I am a little afraid of next year, because I'm moving to a new high school.

Right now, I want to be a veterinarian. I love animals more than almost anything, and every time Pita is sick, I want to understand exactly what is wrong. But Dad says that people change their dreams many times, so maybe you are an artist, a scientist or something I can't even imagine.

I have a few questions for you. Did you travel to Japan, like I have always wanted? Are you still friends with Maya? Did you ever learn to cook something more than pasta? And are you kind to people? That is the most important question.

Whatever you are doing, I hope you are happy, and I hope you are proud of where you came from. Don't forget the girl who wrote this letter. Love, Me
