W13: “Dear future self…”

 Dear future self,

 

            How are you? Please tell me you are already married to SUGA from BTS. Hahahaha just kidding. Or am I? (insert nervous laughter). Jokes aside, I’m writing this to you to remind you of certain things from the past so that you don’t repeat the same mistakes in the future. I cannot change the past, so the only thing I can do is try to change my future.

 

            Firstly, stop being lazy. Just stop. Remember when you did all your assignments last minute? With the memory of a goldfish, I know you probably don’t. Start your assignments early. Finish your work before watching anime. Draw more and practice drawing in digital platforms. I know you are probably playing game now, and procrastinating. STOP! STOP IT. Go do your work so you can sleep knowing you did something productive today.

 

            Next, do not be scared to try new things. I know that you are constantly putting off certain things because you fear what others would say. No matter how much you try to please others, haters are going to hate. I know that you also fear failing which is  another reason why you do not try new things. Have more confidence and try it anyways. You will never know whether you succeed or fail unless if you try it. Even if you fail, always remember that failure is never the end. It is a ‘to be continued’ where you have learned what not to do.

 

            Lastly, try socialising more. I know you don’t like socialising, but at least do not ignore the person complementing you (shaking my head). Try not panic and freeze up whenever someone tries to talk to you. The people are not going to bite you… unless if they are very pale and never go under the sunlight, then stay away from them. You do not have enough red blood cells to be ‘donating’ blood. Reminder to include more iron in your diet or else this will be a serious problem in the future!

 

            Last lastly (yes, I’m not done, yet), remember to always be prepared for the worst. We had the pandemic in 2019, and I am not sure what might happen in the future. It could be aliens or even zombies. Always carry some snacks with you so that you would not be hungry when you are hiding from the zombies later. Besides, I know that you are hungry 24/7 and become demotivated to do things, so just keep something light to eat wherever you go.

 

            In conclusion, these are just friendly reminders and advice. Maybe you have already become a better person who is hardworking and amazing, or maybe you have become worse than how I am, now which I highly hope not! Anyways, despite all that, remember that the most important thing in life is to have fun! So have lots of fun and create a colourful future!

 

With lots of love,

Your chaotic past self writing this in last minute before submission… please change !!

 

PS here is your favourite BTS Song hehe.
