Future and Past

I used to do this thing where I would imagine talking to my younger self
I would send messages to myself in the past that said things like,
You'll get through this
I know it feels bad now but on this day of April you're experiencing the most joy you've ever felt
Now you know what it feels like to open a Broadway show

I know it's silly but I felt like I was sending a message back in time that got me through those hard times


So here's the thing
Today I've decided to send myself a message forward in time
But now I actually have a delivery method
Facebook has the ON THIS DATE feature that shows what happened on that day years ago
Okay future Greg Stone
Here is my message to you
Stop watching the news
Start reading classic books
Listen to music every day
Socialize (I know it's hard for you but do it)
I know your body doesn't do what it used to but quit bitching you're not dead
Don't buy things at the grocery store that are marked half off to save money
Tell someone you love them today
Don't buy a hover board you are too old
Don't be sad you've done a lot of amazing things in life
Get a self driving flying car if at all affordable....it would make life so much easier for the socializing
Keep writing
Stay out of the left lane on the highway if you don't get the flying car
Don't eat before going to sleep
Your best friends are those that are still your friends

That's all I got for now future GS
