Answer 1

I'd say remember the night you answered that girl's question about what you'd write to your future self, just to earn some points? Don't bother.

Answer 2

Dear future me (About 35 years old), Are you rich? Are you successful? You better have answered yes to all of those questions. If you answered no to any of these questions, what went wrong? Was it beyond your control or did you make a stupid mistake? Did you ever learn to play the guitar, or is it still collecting dust in your room (or did you just get rid of it?). Besides being a doctor, do you do anything interesting with your life? Do you still listen to the same music you did when you were a teenager? How old did that stupid mutt live to be? The cat? That cat seems to be immortal. Are you still on Yahoo Answers? Did Webster finally take the word 'to google' out of the dictionary? Have you traveled anywhere or done anything? Do you even have anything you want to do? Are you happy with the decisions you have made? Are you still egotistical about starting college at 15, or does that achievement not matter anymore? Did you ever write a book from all of the ideas you have swarming in your head? Did you even try something crazy? Most importantly, did money buy happiness? Sincerely, Your 14 year old self

Answer 3

I wish my future self could write a letter to my past self or myself right now. there were so many things i couldnt understand then which i do now. If only some1 was there to tell me then wt i know now. I'm the oldest in my family so i dun have anyone to give me advice like that. I think ppl that have older siblings should be greatful and take the advice

Answer 4

Whats up, me?
Going bald was a great choice. The girl who ordered the EXACT same thing as you at Coldstone Creamery IS NOT THE ONE. Believe me. You can get hooked the very first time, so please, regardless how corny it sounds:JUST SAY NO! Beauty, Love and Truth are still the most profound words in any language. And finally, being adopted means you were WANTED.
Be Blessed-me

Answer 5

Dear Cheryl, Please pass this letter on to my son, John and and my daughter, Cheri Ann telling them that I wish I would have raised them differently and I hope they will understand when I am gone. I know I apologized and hope they accepted and understood that I was a very young mother and did the best I could under the circumstances. I also am still apologizing for not leaving their father earlier than I did and removed them from the turmoil they endured for too many years with my abusive husband and their abusive father.

Love,
Myself

Answer 6

That's a nice question.

I would say,

Dear Mel,

remember how happy you were when your babies were born -think of the times when there was just too much washing and you dreamed of these days of peace and quiet - you miss it don't you!!??!!
be thankful and grateful - you have children who love you - you worked hard and they appreciate you.
Your husband has always been there in tough times and good and now you have time to be together more.
enjoy and be thankful.
Love, Mel

Answer 7

Dearest Self~
On Friday the 28th of August 07, late at night just let the d*** dog bark and save yourself a lot of pain, worries and medical bills.Stay in the house for crying out loud!You'll thank me for this later.
Sincerely~
Yourself

EDIT:crap I thought it said if my future self wrote a letter to me...Basically the same thing only I would remind myself to just let the dog bark at night rather than going out in the dark to check it out.

Dear Saint Johnny N,

Now you're there exactly as we dreamt to be, how's your first meeting with Father God, is he wonderful? Were you been pleasantly introduced by Jesus to the Father with lots of pleasantry? Have you met Mom, Dad, and also our so good and loving Brods and Siss? Yes I know they will be there! Oh, by the way, where are all the the best Bible Characters, Moises?, Abraham? David?... and the 12 apostoles?, are they happy to meet you? Are you sure they did!

Now You know the unspeakable grandeur of the 3rd Heaven, would you like to still think living on this earth if you have a chance to reverse God's plan of eternal life, aaaand would you advise me to do otherwise so as not to let me suffer the same hardships, tolerance in order to be considerate to others, patience to live a simple and humble life despite all possible opportunities to live a voracious life style, forgiving despite our way to stick to our pride, selfless love despite the strong urges of enjoying the alluring benefits afforded to us; ...all your life time following God's Words, commands, rules and teachings of Jesus Christ while your on this beautiful and worldly earth?

Where are the richly high Priests, the multimillionaire Pastors, the bad mouthing religious leaders, the billionaire politicians? Are they with you in such paradise we ultimately dreamed to go? What ? All nay! Are you sure? please email me again, please I want to be sure. They sshould be there! Why not? They speaks much of God's? yeah remember...they all must be there...or its unfair. Did your remember you're even accused ...rebelled against them when you gave help to the beggars, instead of putting the collections during Sunday on the treasury box. They even told you who are you to know better love than them whom occupies high ranks of reverence in the church. I believe they must be there, its unfair. You accepted the punishment of expulsion right, for you have sinned against High Men of God on earth. I am confused!!!!????

No no no, no more, I could...I could sense justice there is quite different here on earth!

Good bye, myself, Good bye Saint John!
Any way, send my deep regrets to all of you there, and please pray for me to understand all you there in the 3rd Heaven.

Oh, what are you saying? That place you in is not the 3rd heaven? A NEW HEAVEN !!!, God replaced the heavens and earth? Oh that have much... more confused me, GOOD BYE! WHY CAN'T UNDERSTAND YOU NOW? YOU'RE ME RIGHT?

gOODD BYE!

Answer 9

I honestly don't think it matters, becaue I don't think my future self would even OPEN a letter from my past self.

But if I got a letter from MY future self, that would be interesting. Especially if I thought to send myself some Lotto numbers or Stock information. HE HE

Answer 10

I would simply have to ask myself... Did you learn anything? Most likely the answer would be the same then as it is now... Yes but I did it agian anyway.
