DEAR FUTURE ME,
IT’S YOU, IN THE PAST, 2015,
I WONDER HOW YOU’RE DOING, COS’ THE FUTURE CAN’T BE SEEN.
ARE YOU ON YOUR WAY TO WORK SOMEWHERE THAT YOU GET EXCITED FOR?
HAVE YOU DONE EVERYTHING YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO? DO YOU NEED TO TRAVEL MORE?
ARE YOU STILL REALLY USELESS AT PAYING THE BILLS AND YOUR DEBTS? IF NOT, I WOULDN’T WORRY. YOU’RE A MILLIONAIRE, I BET?
I HOPE YOU’RE AT LEAST HAPPY AND HAVE SEEN A THING OR TWO. I HOPE YOU’VE MADE SOME STORIES AND FINALLY WRITTEN ABOUT WHAT YOU’VE BEEN THROUGH.
YOUR PAST SELF WAS PRETTY HAPPY BUT SHE WORRIES YOU WON’T DO. I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT WHOEVER YOU ARE, NONE OF THAT MATTERS, AND THAT YOU STILL HAVE PEOPLE TO TURN TO.
I HOPE THAT YOU’RE STILL WRITING AND YOU STILL LOVE FILM AND TV.
I WONDER IF YOUR FAMILY BECAME ALL THAT THEY COULD BE.
HAVE YOU FINALLY DECIDED TO GIVE LOVE A DECENT CHANCE? OR ARE YOU STILL A SINGLE LADY AVOIDING THAT FIRST COUPLE DANCE?
IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, I REALLY HOPE YOU HAVE FOUND SOMEONE YOU REALLY LOVE. I HOPE YOU’VE MADE A FAMILY MORE THAN ALL OF THE ABOVE.
I HOPE YOU STILL REMEMBER THAT THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE FREE.
DO YOU STILL GO A WHOLE DAY LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR BEDTIME CUP OF TEA?
I HOPE YOU ARE STILL BLOGGING AND HAVE BAKED A GOOD FEW CAKES.
IS ONE DIRECTION STILL GOING? HAVE YOU LEARNT FROM YOUR MISTAKES?
THE PAST YOU, ALWAYS KNEW WHAT YOU ONE DAY WANTED TO DO. IF YOU HAD THE CHANCE, YOU WOULDN’T DO ANYTHING DIFFERENTLY, WOULD YOU?
I REALLY HOPE YOU DONE IT ALL, AND THAT YOU’RE OKAY WITH WHO YOU ARE.
AND IF YOU FIND YOURSELF STRANDED, I HOPE SOMETHING GOOD ISN’T FAR.
I HOPE THAT YOU FIND STRENGTH TO BE HAPPY WITH LIFE WHATEVER. I HOPE YOU STILL FIND HOPE IN SAYING ‘NEVER SAY NEVER’.
I HOPE YOU GET THE POINT OF THIS RIDICULOUSLY LONG POEM. IF NOT, I HOPE YOU’VE FOUND POINT AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR JEROBOAM*.
(*that’s a large bottle of wine btw).
BE HAPPY, STAY HAPPY AND FIND LOVE IN EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO.
WHATEVER THE BLOODY HELL THAT IS.
