To Myself in 10 Years
You must be 32 years old now. How are you doing? Are you well? At what age did you get married? How many children do you have? Who did you marry? There are so many questions I want to ask, but I can’t write them all down.
Today is October 30, 2020. Do you remember me? It’s been two years since I came to Japan. At first, I wasn’t sure if I could persevere for two years, but I did it. However, I’ve decided to return to my country after graduation. I’m worried because I don’t know if what I decided is right. I’m planning to go to university after returning home.
How is your life now? Are our parents still well? I hope everyone is in good health…
You might be a mother now. Surely, you’ve grown more than I am now. If you get a chance to read this letter, you’re probably laughing a lot. The me of the past was childish, didn’t understand anything, and couldn’t do anything. But I have no regrets about my youth. When I remember it, it turns into beautiful memories. No matter what difficulties you face in the future, remember why you made your decisions.
What is your husband like? Is he your first love? First love is something that leaves a deep impression and is unforgettable. But even if he isn’t your first love, that’s okay. What matters is that you are happy.
What are you working as? Did you become a web designer? Or are you a housewife? Whatever you’re doing, make sure you enjoy every day. I know there are hardships, but keep going! Keep doing what you want to do with all your heart, and always be happy. Stay healthy forever.
