Memo to My Future Self
Because the person you are tomorrow may need what you almost forgot today.
Write it down.
Not just the grocery list and the WiFi password. Not merely the combination lock to the shed and grandma’s recipe. All of it.
The faint memories of the dream you had last night when you wake.
Your favorite wines to bring to a winter party.
The offhanded things your loved ones mention for when you need gifts.
The ingredients for the cocktail you liked at that one bar after a night on the town.
The sweet thing your partner said to encourage you after a long day.
Recounting your child’s first words.
Recording your parents’ last.
A copy of the poem that stirred your soul.
The name of the book that caught your eye.
The digits of that cutie you flirted with at the bar.
Reasons why you want to quit your job.
The motivational quote that keeps you inspired on the mirror in the bathroom.
What you need to grab from Ikea next time you visit.
