Letter to my Future Self

Dear Future 30 Year Old Mauran,

I hope you are doing well and am expecting that you are happy doing what your love. I wonder how the world is 30 years from now. There must be an abundance of technological innovations and improvements in the world. Flying cars are a thing now? I hope you have pursued your path into medicine and that you are a cardiologist. You probably mastered the art of playing the saxophone and are still rocking it on the saxophone at many performances. I like to think that you still have the Michael Jackson spirit and are still a Michael Jackson impersonator. You may not be as good as your younger self, but maybe you can still do the moonwalk. Do you own any luxurious cars yet? Your dream car? I hope you own a Lamborghini or are close to buying one. Where do you live? Are you still living in Canada or did you move to the United States? I always wanted to live in Miami or somewhere is California or at least a beach house there.

How is your relationship with your brother, mom, and dad? I wonder how many luxurious cars and properties your brother owns. Do you still hang out a lot with your brother? I hope you two go out for lunches and dinners occasionally. You guys still better be grabbing food at Osmow’s from time to time and playing Playstation together. I hope that you and your brother are taking care of mom and dad. Mom and dad did so much for you guys growing up, so it’s time for you guys to pay them back by taking care of them. You better be doing photography with dad and cooking with mom. You know that dad’s dream car is Porsche and mom’s dream car is a BMW, so you better buy them their dream cars before getting yours.

I hope you have a lovely family with a few kids and that you have a beautiful and supportive wife. Most importantly, you better be a good father to your kids by not spoiling them too much and by teaching them the values of life. I hope that your kids are talented just like you. Maybe they are athletic, musically talented, or they are stellar dancers like you. Make sure to keep striving for success and not let adversity bring your down. Remember your favourite quote, Tough times never last, but tough people do.”

Take care.

Best Regards,

17 year old Mauran
