Future Me

I just recieved an email from my year-ago-self, written on December 29, 2006 and sent by FutureMe.org.

Dear FutureMe,

It is December 29, 2006. With any luck, in 2007 you will have
accomplished the following:
*Graduated!!
*Got accepted into Grad School
*Travelled to Italy

I also sincerely hope, for your sake, that you be courageous enough to
lover someone, and let someone lover you in return. Stop falling in
love with your professors! Believe me, you are organizing your life in
such a way as to lead you straight into spinsterhood.

In 2006, you begun the year travelling to the Philippines and got
reconnected with your cousins. You worked with middle schoolers in the Latin
Project. You continued to work at HGI. You lovered Latin & Rome
professor. You made friends at school.

I also want you to have gone on retreat this year. Confirmation
especially. I hope you were more involved with the Church. Remember God's
saving Grace and His perfect Love. It is for you to share these gifts with
others. Be generous with yourself and your time.

Fight the good fight. Love. Live well. Et in Arcadia Ego.

on some things, I've done better than others. mais, c'est la vie.
