Letter to My Future Self

Dear Future Self,

If you're reading this, you've made it out of the existential crisis of being a 30-year-old adult with a degree in Philosophy and a job at the local coffee shop.

I hope you're enjoying the existential dread of wondering what you're doing with your life. Remember, it's all about finding meaning in the meaningless, and making your bed every day.

Don't worry about the crippling student loans, the failed relationships, or the fact that you still live with your parents. You'll get through it.

As you navigate the abyss of self-doubt, take comfort in knowing that your favorite TV show is still 'The Great British Baking Show.' It's a constant in your life, and that's what gets you through the darkest of times.

When the world gets too much, just take a deep breath, put on your favorite podcast of choice (currently 'The Daily', but that may change soon), and pretend you're a functioning adult for 10 whole minutes.

Keep it up, Future Self. You got this. (Or, at the very least, you'll get a decent cup of coffee out of it)
