Ta tag i studierna, plugga ordentligt och slarva inte som du gjort förut, skapa ett hållbart förhållande med någon som passar dig.

Hey there future Riley, Hopefully you look back on this one day and remember how good times were and soon to be.

So i am certain you will forget about this in 12 months time, but I am writing you a letter from 12 months ago. As I know you are aware, we often think about what we would say to our younger selves. And, to be honest, we really really wonder what we would feel when talking to our younger selves. Alas, this isn't possible. At least not as of now. interestingly enough we never thought about talking to our future selves. What would we say? what knowledge could I give you to enrich your life? What could I tell you in the future that would make the current me feel more fulfilled? I think the best thing to do is start with the week I had. Last Saturday Meredith graduated college, Jessica got a certification and mom had both a birthday and a mothers day. It was quite the weekend. Dad had a mini stroke or mini seizure. I was not there, but i was on route to the house. Donna, as always, called me to let me know the news. Its amazing how in the mix of the awfulness that she remembered me and how I would feel if I showed up to the house and the ambulance was there. As we both know, he was fine. I do not know if he will be alive in twelve months time, and writing that hurts a little. And I know it will hurt to read, and I'm sorry, but perhaps the single greatest thing I can give you is insight into how I am thinking. Dad is tough. I hope this was a fluke and not the start of something worse. I didn't see him in his off state, but I saw a man in denial as he tried not to go to the hospital. of course, reason will always prevail with him, and after the mandatory dinner of tacos he insisted on, he went to get checked out. Gina and I are fighting. And right before I typed this sentence was the first time she has texted me back in 24 hrs. If there is a god, and he does in fact interfere with our everyday lives, then this was a clear indicator not to write an angry letter, but to share the nice things I feel. Things like how after today I can tell what my life would be like on a daily basis without Gina, and how I want no part of said life. All in all, I could tell you about my life, and You could judge my grammar (but I hope you won't because grammar should not be the focus of a talk with an old friend), but I don't know if I would tell you anything you don't already know. So maybe I'll ask you some questions that I hope you have a good answer to. are you proud of yourself? did you go for something new that you wanted? really try for it? were you willing to do new things for it? did you follow the quote, even though its not easy? are you happy? I'll answer for the now. I am proud. Every mistake and dent in the car wares on my heart, but dammit I am here because of me. I made choices that got me here. pulled myself back from the antisocial brink. I leaped without knowing where I would land. I took extra courses that ultimately got me my first job. And I am happy. A lot is happening right now. I worry about the grandparents. I worry about dad, and I worry that the constant fighting between Gina and I means that maybe things will never work out....but I have hope. I have hope that all of these things will work out. I know I cannot capture who I am as of this day in a small letter, after all I am not the person I am today, I am the collection of who I have been everyday of my life. I hope you aren't disappointed in me or this letter. And I hope you haven't changed too much, because I love you. And I do not say that enough.

Hello, hello, hello :) Hopefully, even when you're done with everything, you still check your email enough to see this. At the time of my writing this you're taking your last final of your third year. Yes, the SoMee one year younger than you right now is filling out little multiple choice boxes on a scantron. Maybe finishing early! Jia yo, SoMee. So there can be many reasons for my writing this right now. The previous letter was expected, and therefore less fun. In March I don't feel I had the perspective towards this year that I think I do now. I don't know. To be honest, I didn't save the letter I wrote to you last time, and I don't even know what I'm following up. But oh well. I don't have much to say, either. I just love the idea of Future Postbox. It's so so so cool. Yeah actually this won't be very deep or anything. Just wanted you to know that 365 days ago you wrote your last final. I hope you're done your finals right now! If not, study well and good luck! Best of luck. Keep in touch. You are really cool. Steven likes you very much. You're inspiring and amazing to him and and and. I don't know. I like you a lot, though. ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^

Dear A - I write to you to let you know, no matter what, you're a star. Just the way you are. I hope that since I've written this, you've continued to walk along your Buddhist path of letting go, not worrying so much, and being at peace with yourself. I'm certain you would have. I hope also, that you have stopped looking for a partner, and no matter where you find yourself, realised that you're enough - just as you are. Allow people to see you, relax into it (I know it's hard), and give them space to love you for who you are. Trust them a little. But, if they don't, know you are enough, and let go. Focus back on the good work you do, and on the good people you fill your life with. The world will provide all you need. I look forward to hearing about it. Love, from New York, where it is snowing outside an apartment filled with tropical fish.

Dear me, This time round you are a month late in responding to yourself, now that is saying something about us prioritizing ourselves! However, recalling our reaction when we received this letter, it was as previously "a shock", but a welcomed one. So, back then we were eagerly "chomping" on our toast before heading to Vans Warped Tour. Today is very different but some familiar experiences are coming up. That being in a few days you will be seeing the Foo Fighters and Rise Against with Dad, Tyson and Chelsea then on the weekend is Soundwave! Guess who is playing, New Found Glory (again), Tonight Alive (again) and so so many more! KEEN AS MUSTARD! So, those changes hey? Well remember that degree you went on about in your last two letters? That is done and dusted! Welcome to the life of being a qualified Social Worker baby! That was completed in December 2014, finished with second division honors class b, which I still don't get but you did above average! So what, you finished your degree, right? WRONG! You also got a job out of your last placement at headspace. Recall being at the QLD Youth Forum in 2011, 'No Access Makes Me Mental', that place they were talking about, you work for as the Intake worker and a Case Coordinator. Those days of slumming it at Outback Jacks or any hospitality joint is behind you! PS Outback Jacks was a laugh, but instead of judging those you worked with, the real lesson was that it was not the job for you. Now this job comes with it's challenges, at the start of the year it did seem all roses and sunshine until some major changes came but it happened so there is no point dwelling on what could have been. You are being challenged to develop the skills and knowledge you need to go wherever it will be in a year, or whenever. You will concur the clinical world. Love? Last year you asked a boy out, *giggles*, you were most respectfully rejected and 'friend zoned'. The disappointing thing is that you have let that impact you more than you should have. Since then you have slowly crept out of the hole and put the social wings back on, as a result the hastag #dannibangs may have caught on with some friends that are very welcoming and understanding to the wicked ways of my mind. But yes, you did start the year off with a bang and have trialled out the online dating (again) and well it has been interesting to say the least. One in particular is a a guy from Sydney, who you've opened up to more than you have to anyone previously. Whether it's the distance that makes me feel more comfortable, that I feel heard or that your ready to open up to someone and move past, the past. The rains are out in force and the football club has flooded again but you are happy. You still try to carry the weight of the world on your shoulder and please everyone but slowly your doing things for yourself and experimenting more with life! You are questioning our mental health lately but I believe it is adapting to vast changes we are going through. It is ok to be nervous but dammit we deserve to live on! PS You should have your license by the time you read this! Love yourself! x
