So, two years ago I saw the Lakehouse with my mom and you know, it really stood out as some sort of epic movie for me so much so that I visited the website. There was an option to e-mail yourself in the "future" oooh fascinating. In the spirit of time travel, I sent myself an e-mail to the date November 5, 2008 and I just read it. The strangest feeling took over me:
Remember to always thank your parents for all they have given you. Remember that tonight, you truly felt you had everything you ever wanted. Remember how far your family has come. Hopefully I am already in college in California or somewhere I love. Right now that would seem perfect. Hopefully I have found the person that I have always wanted, someone that makes me happy, someone who loves me as much as I love them. Or maybe not, it's only the beginning of my independent life.
Congratulations on (hopefully) graduating. Happy 19th Birthday by the way. Wow.
Always remember how loved you are and how much you owe back. Haha I'm really into this sending e-mails to the future thing. Remember how important it is to find the right person. Love isn't a maybe kinda thing. Remember who you loved and how different things are. Life is crazy and time flies by fast.
"What I want is to be needed. What I need is to be indispensable to somebody. Who I need is somebody that will eat up all my free time, my ego, my attention. Somebody addicted to me. A mutual addiction."
-Chuck Palahniuk
I do not understand why I was more mature and life-savvy then that I am now. I don't think that 16-year-old Anastasia would like 19-year-old Anastasia very much if she met her.
