Your past self is somewhat disappointed right now. Partly because she decided not to do the 2011 time capsule meme, for various reasons that we both know. All valid reasons. Talking things through and wishing yourself well wasn't something that was at the forefront, was it? Things were pretty low. Even if it's still that way, this year, at least that storm has passed, so I went to make sure that you have something to read, future me.
2012 went about as well as could be expected, y'know? You knew there was a lot of bad stuff coming, and it did come. But the important thing is you survived through all of that, right? And everything else that no one expected. A lot of things happened, with your brother, with dad, with your parents and their marriage, with your mental health... and more positive, or hopefully, your parents bought a puppy. Mayà is five months old right now. She's probably really big by now for you. Is she still greeting you with cuddles and kisses everyday? I hope so. It's nice.
How is 2013? I hope some things are better that weren't before. I hope karma has stopped being horrible to you, but if not, I want to give you a hug right now because I know exactly how horrible it feels when nothing goes right time after time after time. You'll be out of university now, fingers crossed. Did your dissertation go okay? Your past self hasn't really started it properly, as your past self is kinda stressed from this current term in general. I'm looking forward to a break, though I have to finish this essay that I got an extension for due to being sick. It should be done soon, then I can relax. Or well, hopefully. But yeah... I hope you did something you can be proud of. It's a good topic. It's a topic you love, so you should do fine. What are you doing now? Are you still living at home? Did you find any jobs or have a definite plan of what you want to do? Heh, curiousity. But really self don't feel bad if you haven't accomplished these things. The world sucks in this department and we both know it. Just... questions to help you think about things, I guess. Anyway. I know there's a couple of options and ideas you had for future things which would mean waiting until 2014. Have you pursued any of those, and are you going to if you haven't got anything to do? I hope you decided what to do about going to counselling or not.
Let's talk fandoms. By this of course I mean games, because I think we'll always love them. Lightning Returns should be out for you... did you manage to get over your aversion to the playstyle? I hope so. I hope you gave it a shot. How was Fire Emblem Awakening? It feels like I've been waiting for forever, it really does. Any surprise announcements?
Lastly, since I'm sure I could always use the reminder.
You are worth looking after.
Your health, physical or mental, is more important.
Ignore anyone who says otherwise. Don't feel bad if you don't do anything all day and give yourself the day off and do things that make you happy, whatever they are. Really, ignore that if they say it's stupid or useless. Giving yourself, well, ourself, time is important and I really hope you still remember that.
So... yeah. Take care of yourself. You are worth it, okay? ♥ Past you.
