Write a letter to myself that I'll open in 5 years

I am…..can’t really explain why I haven’t done this (although I have my theories, I’m just not ready to face them or deal with my own issues), but I’ll write the letter, before my next birthday.

When I adopted this goal, I had no idea what I wanted to write, because I was unsure as to what I wanted to do, and I didn’t want to write one thing, and do another. I didn’t want to dissappoint myself, so to speak. But now, I am on a clear (intended) mission, and I’m at least certain of where I want to be in 5 years, so that’s a start. I will handwrite this letter on New Year’s Eve, seal it, and put it away until New Year’s Eve of 2013. Man, that seems like a long time away. I can’t wait!

This will be ONE…LONG…LETTER! However, I think it will be very interesting to sort of catalog my growth or (gasp) lack thereof, by penning all of my emotions (and there are a LOT of em) and then opening the letter 5 years from now (hopefully as a self-assured, physically fit attorney, who lives in a nice neighborhood, drives a nice car, with one kid on college already).
