A letter from April 21st, 2018

Dear future, This is the past writing in 21st April 2018 in a sunny morning under a blooming cherry trees. The past two years has been the best gift in my life so far. I have got through the difficult times settling down in a new country, travel to a lot new places where I have never been, graduated successfully as a Master, got the first job in a great company, live in a beautiful house with friends like family, keep learning and self-reflecting everyday and heading to the 4th year with my boyfriend. I want to say well done and I hope after 3 years you will say the same words to yourself again. I don't know where you will be, what you will be doing and whom you will stay with as I never knew my current life when I was in 3 years ago. Everything is out of plan although you are such a person that love plans. Don't get upset when things go against your plan because when that happens, god is sending you a special gift as I have it now. Here are some wishes for you: Wish you keep the passion for life and the universe. Feel grateful to be something in this endless universe and witness the wonder of life and have the opportunity to make some wonder in the world. Life has treated you so well and don't take it for granted. Wish you focus less on other people's judgement and listen more to your own. You have been living for the first 18 years trying to be someone that others want to you to be. You love to be the focus and you hate to be insignificant, which blurs your eyes and lose your mind. Other people's words can be candy and poison. Hope you be strong enough to ignore it and always know your heart. Wish you keep struggling. I know you will because you are such a person never feel satisfied. When you achieve something, you feel happy at first but not for long. You would soon find yourself needing something else to struggle for. Struggling well doesn’t just make your ups better; it makes your downs less bad. Wish you cherish the basics. No matter you are at the top or in the bottom, you always need a good bed to sleep in, good relationships, good food, and good sex. Don't lose it when you are pursuing the top. I feel regretful I didn't spend more time to be with my family when I was still in China. I always had more important stuff to do and family is not my priority. Now I realise it and have more time but it just too far away. Please don't make such mistake again. I will be very surprised if you tell me you get married and have your babies because it is not my plan but if you do, I'm happy for you. Because when life is out of the plan, god is sending you a small gift. Past
