So after I did a post on a letter to my 10 year old self, I've been receiving requests on a letter to my future self in 10 years time! Which is my 30 year old self, and I thought it'd be very interesting, so why not.
Here goes.
Dear Nathalie,
Hello there, future me! Greetings from the past. How are you doing there? Well, right now, there's been a lot going on. I don't even know where to begin. I have so many questions I wanna ask, and I want to know, but I guess, maybe when you read this, you'll probably nod at some things, and cringe on certain stuffs.
First things first, do you have a stable job? Are you actually a psychologists?
I'm very curious.
Right now, I am on my 2nd year of studying psychology, and I am actually in a crossroad, deciding whether I should continue with my Masters as I don't really know if psychology is something God wants me to do, so I've been praying about it. Will my career be a child psychologists like I am wishing right now? Will I actually be good at it? How do I manage to get there? I wish you'd tell me, but of course, that's impossible. I guess I have to find that out for myself.
Next question, are you still in New Zealand?
10 years ago, I was in Malaysia, and look at me now, I never knew I'd end up in a country that I don't even know existed 10 years ago. Will I end up in some other country within another 10 years? At this moment, I'm not really keen on moving, as I've done that once, but if its God's calling, will I actually go somewhere else? But if that somewhere else is America, I would actually love to try it out.
Are you married yet?
I guess this is a very typical question. Who's going to be your husband? What's his personality? Is he anything like the guy you dream of marrying, or maybe even more? I can tell you that right now, you're head over heels in love with this guy called Yixing, or otherwise known as your Changsha Prince. He's everything you want in a guy. Musically talented, kind hearted, hard working, humble, handsome and sweet. Is your husband anything like that? Well, whoever you are with, I am happy for you, cause obviously, this person must have made you felt like a princess. At least, I hope he does.
Last and most important question.
How is your relationship with God?
Right now, you are still kinda like a baby, growing in God. But are you more matured and more steady in terms of your relationship with God? I hope you are. And I hope in this 10 years time, you'd have a beautiful and personal walk with the Heavenly Father. Cause that is what I long for.
I could go on with a list of questions, but then again, the part of not knowing what's going to happen in 10 years time, makes it an adventure. And whatever happens in this 10 years, I do hope that I remain who I am, in terms of identity. I hope you did not drift into being someone completely different in order to fit in or whatever, because, well, my personality is what makes me ME.
But most importantly, I hope you do not drift away from God anymore.
I did, few years ago, although I think its a lesson from God, but I'd really like to stay still within God's arms now. So good luck to me, and for you, congratulations on whatever achievements you achieved in this 10 years time. I bet I'll be proud of you.
Yours truly,
Nathalie.
