I hope that your happy

 To have seen the world

   To have traveled and visited all the locations that you could ever think of

     To have not merely seen but to have been apart of the world

       To know both extreme happiness and extreme despair.

To have experienced anything and everything

   

  Me and you, we were always the eccentric type

       Once we fall for something we fall hard

It was always all or nothing for me and you

            And because of that we sometimes forgot how to enjoy life

  Don’t forget to cherish the moment

 Because it is in the moments that one truly feels that they exist.

          

   You did not settle for short-term euphoria

              even when your mother, your father, your friends, your acquaintances

                and the world told you to be content.

       No, you went and saw the stars, not through a telescope but up close and personal.

         You ventured places that no man would even conceive of exploring.

                     You explored what was thought to be impossible

                       But the best thing was that you did not give up

               I like that about you. Although it drove everyone crazy.

      

     I hope that you're not yet tired of the world

          There is still far too much to see, explore, and experience

Don’t take no for an acceptable answer

 It is never too little too late to start another adventure.

    Keep dreaming and never stop

                   But don’t dream too much because it is, in reality, can we perfect our dreams.

         

            I see that you haven’t changed

 I see that your love of life and all that it is has not cessed

   I see you fearless, humble, and innovative before me

     In you, I see a better me

       Dear future self

         When you read this letter you may have already forgotten

           But don’t forget, don’t forget

                   I hope that when you read this that you will remember me.
