A Letter to my Future Self
In 1994 I wrote a letter. I stuck it in an envelope, put it away and completely forgot about it. 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 thought [...]
