In 2007, when I was eighteen I wrote a letter to my future self. I put it in a small box, put it away and completely forgot about it.
I didn't find it until we moved into our new home this year. It clearly instructed (指示) me to open on my birthday 2020. So I decided to open it.
I felt very surprised when I read this for the first time after 13 years. I still couldn't help thinking this was really cool. At the age of 18, I had so many hopes and dreams about the future. And now so much of what I wanted for myself has become true: I had a job in biology in the field of plants for 10 years. And I had a happy family. I did marry the man named Paul and he is still my one and only. He is a computer engineer. I have two lovely kids-a girl named Jenny and a boy called David. I have lived in Australia for nearly 5 years in a big house in a small town. I did visit a few more places in Canada although I haven't seen everything I'd like to. And after that I've also visited the USA, Australia and China.
I find it fascinating how the dreams of a young girl can become a grown woman's reality (现实). Do you think so? And write something to your future self. It will be a really wonderful experience.
