I really wanted to find some old poem I wrote sometime while walking, so I could post something quickly and just go to bed, but I'm remembering that the entire point behind this blog was to create something I could look back and at reminisce (or at least recall) what was going on in my head on, for example, the 10th of April, 2021.
I also think I write about the same exact thing every other blog post with just a teeny bit of variation in between, and of course, I'll use a separate cover photo.
I wrote a letter to my 2030 self at 3:30 on Friday morning. Its about 2,000 words and it took me about an hour. A complete stream of councious as my typing was still going strong from my 11pm frenchie, but so far, I've resisted the urge to reopen it. A whole 2 days, good job, annie. But, in remembering this letter, I know I put a lot of questions.
-------
Are you happy? If you're not, what are you going to do to change? Do you need to change small habits or the entire lifestyle? Change is OK.
Are you still in the Army? What else are you doing? Do you have any passion projects? Please have a couple.
Who is in your life? How are you showing your heart? Where and how are you investing your energy, time, love?
Do you feel stuck? Don't let stagnation freeze you forever. You can always do something, even if it feels like nothing. Your actions matter... I hope you feel inspired to reach out to people.
Nothing is going to be perfect, and everything might be messy, but don't forget to love yourself along the way. Self love and appreciation is not cringy, excessive, or unnecessary. It is deserving. You are deserving.

OK, that was just from a quick recall, swear I didn't look at the real letter.
Wave of You by Surfaces is a really really satisfying car song.
