It wasn't until we moved into our new home in 2006 that I found it again. It was addressed to me with explicit instructions not to open until my birthday 2005. It was now 2006 so I decided to open it. This is what it said:
Dear Sherri
By the time you read this you will be 30. At the age of 18 I had so many hopes and dreams about where you'd be, what you'd be doing and with whom you'd spend your life with.
Right now I hope that you have traveled and seen everything you've always wanted to, both in Canada and overseas, and maybe even settled down somewhere in Australia doing some research in the field of biology (genetics.
I hope you're married to the man of your dreams. The man of mine is Gwynn. He is originally from South Africa (another place I wish to visit.
You'll probably have two children of your own – a girl(Michaela Anne and a boy (name yet to be decided.
If everything goes according to plan you'll be living in Australia in a big house in a small town outside of a big city with a lot of land, a dog, Gwynn and your two beautiful children. Hopefully you have a career in the medical field, maybe doing research in genetics. Gwynn will be a computer programmer and you will be doing alright for yourselves.
However, if things don't go according to plan for you, I wish you all the love, happiness and joy in the world and don't settle for anything less than the best since that is absolutely what you deserve.
Live long, be happy and live life to it's fullest.
Love Sherri "18″
When I read this for the first time since writing it I was floored. Even now having dug this up again another 4 years later I still can't help but think this is really cool.
So much of what I wanted for myself has materialized.
I did travel to a few more places in Canada although I haven't seen everything I'd like to.I did marry the man of my dreams and yes he still is my one and only.I've traveled to the UK, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. I lived in Australia for nearly 4 years in a big house, in a small suburb, in a major city (close enough. I had a career in Biology in the field of genetics for 10 years.I have two lovely kids – both boys (names now decided.
I have not one dog but two dogs. Both yellow labs from Australia.Gwynn is a computer programmer. We are doing okay for ourselves.
After writing this I quickly forgot about what I had put in here actually. The things that materialized were all met with quite a bit of resistance (all internal but I suppose these were things that I really did want. Having never strayed too far from home overseas travel was a huge deal. Having never been away from my family moving to Australia for several years was an incredibly huge decision.
I find it fascinating how the dreams of a young and naive little girl can become a grown woman's reality.
I'm curious if you guys have ever written anything to your future self and how it stacks up to your current reality. If you haven't, will you join me in writing a letter now to yourself in say 10 years from now? It's an interesting little experiment.
走进宽敞明亮的卧室,最抢眼的是紫色的“星空”。“星空”是紫色的水晶板造成的,里面藏着很多不断眨眼的水晶灯,晶莹剔透,星光闪烁,很养眼,很清凉,也很魔幻。我最称心的是那张紫色的心形睡床。床边垂着柔软的紫色窗纱,其颜色可以随着我的心情改变颜色,朦朦胧胧,如同在云雾中飘遥水晶的写字台上放着一台智能电脑,它的功能神奇的出乎意料。只要我一挥手,电脑就会自动开机,电脑屏幕上就会出现紫色的大幕,节目主持人就会从紫色的帷幕中走出来,直接与我对话,问我想做什么,它就为我做什么。然后,再一挥手,电脑屏幕就会变得像电影屏幕一般大,我心里想什么,屏幕上就会出来什么。如果我来了写作灵感,智能电脑就会把我所需的素材,呈现在我的\'面前。我的卧室的地板更神奇。紫色的,比塑胶还要绵软,而且还会自动旋转,我想去那儿,它就会把我送到哪里。
我的未来不是梦。到那时,我一定请你到我的智能别墅做客,感受美轮美奂的紫晶宫,享受天上人间的绝美景色。
