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.
穿过客厅,来到一张挂满习画的门前,这就是我的卧室了。古朴典雅的门上挂满了我的画:大部分是素描作品,小部分是漫画人物。这些都是我的得意之作。
推开门,左手方向有一张大床。大床是实木做的,长 2米,宽1.8米。床单是以绿色为底色的小黄花图案,特别清新。床上放着不少毛绒玩具,如笑容可掬的福娃妮妮、活泼可爱的咪兔、神态自然的史努比,等等。每天晚上,我都在这个“摇篮”中沉沉入睡,我的玩具们都为我哼起了摇篮曲。
大床的南面有张书桌。书桌与书架连在一起,都是实木做的。书桌上放着学习用品、草稿纸和各科辅导书等用品。书桌的右边有3个大抽屉,放着草稿本、复读机和磁带。书架共有6层,有2层在桌面下面,有4层在桌面上面。下面2层主要放小学的书本,上面的第一层放着我经常看的书,比如《青铜葵花》、《绿山墙的安妮》等等。当然还有各类词典和字典。第二层主要放小学生必读的书和相册。第三层放着各种各样的书,有教育孩子的、有童话、有小说、有散文、有诗集……真是“凡所应有,无所不有”啊!第四层主要放本子和装饰品。装饰品有套娃、鸵鸟蛋、唐三彩的仿制品等等。此外,书架上还有3只小抽屉,放着纪念品。
书桌西边有个衣柜。衣柜有三个门,拉开之后可以放衣物、挂衣服。最下面一层放着被子和褥子。衣柜中间有3个抽屉,放着围巾、袜子等物品。
卧室南边有扇大飘窗。窗台上摆放着各种鲜花:有高大的“落地生根”、净化空气的吊兰、常开不败的四季海棠等。每当我疲乏、劳累时,那一片片绿意总是让我倍感温馨、愉悦、轻松。
我的卧室就是这样温馨的港湾。
