Dear John,1
Don't put too much stress into waking up tomorrow. Because things don't get better, or at least they haven't yet, and its' been five years. Because I couldn't get the last quarter of my life to work, maybe I should give myself a few warnings and let itself work out.2
Every single girl who you think you like doesn't like you back. Be prepared to have them all tell you "I like you too much to date you." Yeah, they'll be as full of bullshit as it sounds like. You're going to start hating girls a lot more in the next five years.3
Speaking of hating people, DO NOT get into politics. Each side is as full of liars, cronies, murderers, and crooks as the other. Having an opinion isn't worth it. This relates closely to the first warning.4
You are not going to age very well. Your acne is going to peak around 2003, then start a slow sliding descent into permanent scars on your face from when you use too much medicine. You'll never find a good hair style. Going to contacts won't help, because you'll be unable to wear them because you'll find out your eyes are slightly too large for your head, and you'll also find out that your head is slightly too large for body. Be prepared for back pain.5
You will find one girl who will actually make you satisfied. She will cheat on you then break up with you two months after the first time she does this. I'm not going to cop out and just give away her name, but trust me, if you suspect that one of them's doing it, they are.6
Your back pain will get worse very quickly. It will mutate into emotional pain stemming from a lack of physical ability, and will cause a constant twitch in your right shoulder blade that you'll never be able to get rid of, or at least not after 5 years.7
Speaking of emotional pain, you may start to get the idea that you're schizophrenic. Don't buy it. Don't even research into the idea, because it'll only make you more paranoid of yourself. You're going to find out that you're the only one you can trust, so don't let some book tell you you're crazy. You're going to find out that you are all you'll ever have.8
No one is going to respect you for who you are. Welcome to reality. You can choose whether or not to believe that this letter really came from the future, but it did, so read it well. Things aren't going to get any easier, unless maybe you find something to change. Good luck. Get some sleep, because you're going to spend the next five years being really, really tired.9
Love,10

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! (To be honest, its mostly a work of fiction!
) Thanks for reading!

Awesome
Holy shit. That was wonderful. To be quite honest, I wish I got a letter from myself from 5 years in the future right now telling me all these types of things, and things I need to know. Keep it up. -
When reading this, I thought you were talking about the future, but after I got into it, I figured it was stuff that you had actually experienced especially when you were talking about the girls who will do you wrong. This piece was really heartwrenching to know someone goes through so much heartache. Keep writing and keep up hope, perhaps the future will somehow be altered and things will be different--Ann

I thought you were talking about the future too. I'm so sorry that I didn't realise you were talking about stuff that really happened. I thought it was supposed to be humerous so please accept my apologies and I'll be much more careful in the future when I read things.

Look, I gotta edit my comment because I'm not being truthful. This isn't funny at all. If it is not true, then I'll say it can't be an accurate description of life.
And if it is true, I'd say you need to look at your life seriously. It sounds awfully tough. But in the midst of that, looking back, you could find not one moment in which you laughed? If you could write your future, is this what you'd write it to be? If I could write back to my past self... my letter would be more cautionary starting with the line, "dude, you made some really bad decisions... that girl you liked... she wasn't the right one for you. You shoulda paid more attention to plain Jane. She turned out to be a looker! And she was nice too, had a good heart!"
Look, all I'm sayin is, the negative is there to make you appreciate the positive. And if you can't find the positive... well, u make all the bad things that happened worth nothing.
I can say that because I've been molested, robbed, left broken-hearted, my first kiss was from a criminal... I mean I had it tough too! And tho u may not want to hear it, the truth is, the day I payed more attention to God, and put Him in charge of my life, the most amazing guy plopped rite into my life, I graduated from the local university with my Bachelor of Arts degree with honours.
Find something to be hopeful for or your life will remain bleak. Great write. Now live, truly live and write some more on a more real view of life. One that includes light as much as it does dark

Hey this is an outstanding peice of work. I like it! I like it! It is sad, but it rings true about how life can be sometimes. I found it to be humurous though, and if we can be funny in the midst of all the crap, there is still hope. I'd like to read more workd like this! Straight up and straight out! Best wishes ~ Frog~

Ah this is absolutely brilliant!!! I was just reading it out loud to my 15 yr old son and we were in hysterics. He says you have a wicked sense of humour and I agree. I've been down lately because of pain and not knowing when I'm going to get an operation but this has really cheered me up enourmously.
I'm so glad you entered my contest so that I got to read this and the punk/goth one. Keep up the writing, you have a special talent and have I your permission to print this remarkable writing out? -
OMG this was really really sad, but you did a great job with writing this. What can I say people can be such dicks! I hope that the next 5 years of your life start to improve and things get better for you. I hope that you become happy, Take care and good luck in the contest xxx ~QueenT~ ooo
