Pixie,

 

Greetings.

I can see you now, wondering how this letter to you comes in your own hand writing.

Before you start tearing at yourself for writing to yourself in a drunken stupor, this is a letter from you in the future to you in the past. And no, we are not drunk, right now.

Well, I figured that since time travel is now possible because we’ve figured out that pesky space time continuum thing that you guys back then have been worried about for so long that I would send you a letter to let you know how things are in your future or my present.

I just want you to know that we have been extremely happy sweetheart with this life.

You are still just as charismatic and charming and beautiful as you always have been as you age, if I don’t say so, myself.

I am not allowed to send you pictures because of intergalactic law but if you trust anyone trust me, we have lived a wonderful life.

I am nearing the end of our journey and I wanted to send you this letter as encouragement.

I remember very clearly how you feel right now about certain things and I know I needed the hope I am about to share just to keep going.

First of all you will see a car fly before you die. I know that was one of our goals and when you hit 73 years, you’ll see it ten days after your birthday. Enjoy.

Don’t worry about eating apples all the damn time either. I know your weight bugs you right now but later on honey, fashion is going to swing back to the beauty of the big boned after the famine of 2020. Times will be hard but anyone over 200lbs will be considered the most sexually elegant and lucky so stock up on doughnuts now sweetie because skinny will be out of vogue in your lifetime!

And yes, I know that you are worried that you will never complete the great American novel and therefore have no purpose on our flying blue rock.

 Stop doubting us!

The time will be right for your masterpiece to be unveiled in just 2 short years from when you receive this letter. Keep working hard at it and stay focused because your dream is still on the horizon. Don’t listen to others opinions and thoughts about you, they are wrong. But this you already know.

They make 14 additional Episodes to Star Wars so look forward to that. Skywalker’s kids are crazy! And stop worrying about your child. He becomes a magnificent man. Your son is going to grow up and have a fantastic life. No, he won’t be a famous politician or a rock star like you had hoped but he will create a device that uses the gas from human farts to power the flying cars you finally get to see. The kid is brilliant so  never hesitate to give him as many hugs as you can and tell him that you love him and he can do anything all of the time, okay?

As far as love goes, sweetheart we have found it in so many ways. My life mate and I (mind you no one gets married anymore in the future, we just pick partners and stay together like eagles) have been together for 43 years and I love him tremendously. You will love island life with him and it is the perfect place to write. The funny thing about it is that you already know him but I will not tell you who he is because since I am you, having that information would make me do nothing short of chasing him down and trying to start a relationship right away. We are still not patient! Trust me, things will happen very naturally as soon as you get to the place of comfort in who we are and if I remember correctly, we are almost there.

I would tell you the truth of God and the Universe but I remember that I am blowing your mind right now by just writing to you and you will discover those answers in time.

More than anything, I love you my dear and don’t forget about that. Things will get hard, things will go up and down, nights will be cold and lonely but when you wake every morning grateful for what you have, you do nothing but attract more. I still do that as I lie here, waiting until the end of this run. Most importantly, Pix I am writing this letter to tell you that you have to stay sane. You have to push through a lot that is coming your way. You have to lean into the wind, keep writing, keep loving and keep smiling so that you will one day become the happier, more beautiful version of yourself, the Pulitzer prize winning author, me.( Oh yeah, we win that!)

Oh and by the way my love in 2025, you’ll be able to buy sex in a pill.

Trust me, we love those.

(Close your mouth for heaven’s sakes a fly will buzz right in there!)

Stay vertical, and I love you! Take care of us and those around us who love us. I must sleep now.

The future you is counting on you for survival and I am most proud of the woman you become,

Sincerely,

Me
