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.
还记得年少狂妄的你吗?还记得那时的你扬言说过,要闯遍天下,游览世界各地的美景,去踏遍森林,去登上世界之巅,去攀登那高山。去大海深潜,看那海底的大千世界,去看那新奇美丽的蔚蓝的深海。你说过,要走遍世界上的每一个地方。
可现在呢?还没来得及实现,就被这个小小的挫折给打败了吗?你可真令我失望啊!
你说过你很彷徨,你说过你很迷茫。你说过你一直在思索,寻找着答案。可是呢,你一直没有找到答案,没有找到你所坚持的原因。你不知道,你现在所做的这些,是正确的还是错误的?
记得你刚踏入中学那会吗?不知是什么改变了你,不知是什么狐狗朋友带坏了你,不知是你自己本性就不好,还是青春的躁动,让你走上这条短轨。
你放弃了你的学业,将它狠狠的踩在脚下。那时候等你从没想过,有一天你会把它重新拾起来,重新擦拭,让它重新回到你身边的第一位。现在的你,珍惜这剩下的十几天。上课时的你认真在听讲,可遇到的那些化学,英语科目中的\'复杂符号,各种复杂的单词,你的眼皮却忍不住想要垂下,脑袋晕沉沉的。
你是想要放弃了吗?又要打退堂鼓了吗?
于是你又开始怀疑你自己了。好不容易从断轨中逃离,踏上征途,就遇上了这么一大片荆棘。你有些后悔,后悔自己出发的太晚了。如果自己早点出发,就不会碰上暴雨,也不会遇上这片荆棘。你后悔没有学好数学,后悔没有学好英语。对!你不甘心!不甘心就这么被他们说阻挡了你前进的路。
你开始披荆斩刺,即使浑身伤痛,你也要克服这道难关。因为你知道,你的人生,处处都有重重关卡。数学英语对于你来说,这只是第二道,既然你都已经闯过这第一关了,那么第二关也会通过的。
我相信你,加油!
希望以后等你面对这些挫折,面对这些困难,面对这人生的一道道关卡时,你可以继续走的从容,无畏。带着自信,抛去压力,走过这些人生的关卡。
愿你以后,浑身光芒,做自己的太阳不去借别人的光。
加油!
亲爱的李小红:
你好!
我是张小荷,来自浙江省青田县塔山实验小学五(1)班。在这之前,我们都素不相识。你来自黑龙江,而我来自浙江,我们的家远隔千里,而学校举办的“手拉手”活动却将远隔千里的我们联系起来。希望通过这次活动,我们能成为好朋友。
先自我介绍一下。我因为手机看太多,导致近视,需要带上眼镜。为此,我妈妈还大骂了我一顿呢!
我的性格比较开朗。喜欢看书、写作文。我也喜欢和同学交流,愿意主动交朋友。希望你也愿意与我结成对子,变成好朋友。
写作,是我的兴趣爱好,也是我的特长。记得二年级时,我们的语文老师向我们推荐了“处州晚报作文大赛”。呀!是我大显身手的时候了!我来到赛场,紧张得怀里像躲了一只小兔子。但我又十分兴奋,期待着考试的题目。“叮铃铃”!比赛开始了!我深吸一口气,准备一气呵成。我时而奋笔疾书,时而低头沉思。慢慢地写,静静地想。不一会儿,我的佳作——《我和星星打电话》就完成了。文中那可爱的女孩子和那天上的星星相遇在电话中。他们快乐地交谈,互相诉说着自己的生活。夜已深了,但他们还在说!比赛结束后,我急切地等待着自己的成绩。呀!二等奖!我为自己而欢呼雀跃!
虽然我们远隔千里,但我们的心是相通的,血是相同的。我真心希望我能和你成为最要好的朋友,也希望你能立刻回信!
祝你
身体健康!
朋友:张小荷
