A Letter to My Future Self

Dear future me in 2045,

Let me hope that you are fine. Back to me, I am also fine.

You have talked of becoming a good, hopeful, humble and a man of your word. Did you fulfil all your promises?

You also promised to develop yourself so as to set up studios for production of music on cheap costs.

Let me hope you have fulfilled your dream of having a music school where you talked of sharing your talents with others so that the country could get better residents.

I hope now you are a good person. Did you succeed in setting up a music school? If yes, that is good. What about the dream of having a football academy? Let me hope you managed to start up a football academy where you promised to help children whom their parents thought of having a brighter future in football. If you have managed to fulfil that dream, that is good. I wish you all the best in whatever you’re doing in line with all your dreams.

It has been a long time, and I know you have married a good, beautiful and responsible wife whom you talked of producing good, wise and generous children. Did you implement your promise of having a wonderful and colourful first birthday of your firstborn, where you talked of having a colourful evening in one of the biggest hotels in America? And you also talked of inviting your close friends to attend the party, where you promised to sing “Happy Birthday” till you get tired.

Let me hope you are living a world of great music as you promised. Are you playing your favourite instrument?

Let me hope that you are writing songs that make people happy and enjoy. May the Almighty help you so that one day you have a big concert in one of the biggest conferences in the whole world. I wish you all the best with your music dreams. Keep practicing and never give up!

Yours sincerely,
