Dear Maria of 2035,
I am beginning this so I do not forget to do it later. I am worried that you (me now~you later) may become like your own grandmother after another 30 years or so of life. That you may become so buried by the regrets of time, and the dissappointments of life that you will become a bitter know it all like Nana. Knowing as I do how you do not want that to happen, I have decided that I will write to you (me) now so that later you may read these letters and remember who you are now, and not become a bitter old woman.

Try to keep these things in mind, a suggestion is much better than a demand, just because you may think you have seen it all and know all the answers does not necessarily make it true. Your answers are your own not someone elses. Just because you have made mistakes and learned from them, remember that does not give you the right to take away anothers mistakes by making them do it your way. We all learn different lessons from our mistakes and we need them. Youth is a testing ground for age, do not try to give all the answers to the test that would be cheating. Remember to forgive, do not become the unforgiving know it all your own grandmother was, she died lonely remember? Is that what you really want?

I will write more to you later, and I will of course print these out and put them away for you to read when you become you, and no longer are me. Perhaps then we can rejoin and be the person we are meant to be, and not the stone worn smooth by time denying all the bumps and pits of the past.

Much love and hope,
me (you)
I am currently Detached
I am listening to nothing
