Dear myself of the year 2070,
I am you, but in the year 2021. It has been a long time since I wrote this letter, about 50 years. You must be an old woman with many wrinkles on your face now. Before anything else, I would like to ask you a question. How are you? What are you doing now? I can not help but think you are lying on the bed in a hospital. Because you and I clearly know that our health has a lot of problems. However, I hope you do not suffer from Alzheimer, so that you can respond to my next questions ha ha. You must be retired at this moment, so I want to know whether you are successful or not. And what was your career? Are you an English interpreter, which is my current major in university and brings me a lot of pressure?Do you have enough money to let our parents have a fulfilled life? Just gently reminding you, this is our priority and the reason for everything we have been through and our efforts. It will be definitely a shame if your response is no.
How about your marital status? Are you married and do you have any child? To be honest, I am truly curious about it. Because I do not think about getting married or falling in love with someone at this moment. I don’t have any intention to have a boyfriend or get married with anyone. I consider marriage as a complicated thing that I will not be able to handle. Moreover, I think it would be more difficult to achieve anything in my life when I get married. There will be a lot of obstacles and difficulties occurring after getting married with someone else. Therefore, I wonder whether you changed your perspective at some point in your life and decided to marry a man, and had some children. Thus, you can have someone beside you when you get older.
The last thing I want to tell you is stop overthinking! Now, you are too old to regret something you can never change. Just enjoy your life by now and keep in mind that everything is okay.
Your past self, Nghi.
