A letter to 100 year old me 👩🏾‍🦳

Write a letter to your 100-year-old self.

Hey, how’s it going? Should I just jump into the nitty gritty and ask you all of the questions that are burning a hole in my mind? First of all I should probably congratulate you for making it to 100. There were many times when I seemed like you wouldn’t but you persevered and look at you now….well I wish I could look at you but I don’t have the power to do that so I’ll just hope beyond hope that you’re in a good place. At that age I wonder who has made it that far with you, I hope you’re not alone. Perhaps you live with a robot like the image for this post? 🤔

Maybe I should put this letter to you in a more positive note but it’s very hard to image myself as 100 years old so you will have to forgive me. I can only imagine the adventures you have been on. I hope you still find a way to see the magic in everyday and that you look back on our life with a smile. Did we achieve our goals and do I still live by the mantra that it’s important to always have something to strive towards and to look forward to? I hope so! It makes life exciting, even through the roughest of times.

How many dogs have we taken care of? (That sounds like a mafia statement 😳🤣). I hope our pups have all lived a wonderful life. Yes it all goes back to pets in my mind because they make life into a thing of beauty, or a least they have done mine. Maybe our readers agree or they have something else that fills that gap. I wish I could teleport into the future and hear all of the crazy names we have called our pets before but the fact that it’s still to come gives me something to think about. I guess I can’t say “look forward to” as that means losing pets along the way and losing Toby back in January was so hard 🐶.

I’ve been avoiding asking how your health is as if chronic pain is trying to take control whilst I’m young, how will it attempt to do the same in the future? And mental health is a whole other ballgame. I pray that there hasn’t been a relapse within the next number of years. It’s something I fear and try to avoid thinking about but you’ve put it on my mind so it’s centre focus now. All I can do is try my best to remain in a good place, even if some things are uncontrollable, I have a good support network around me and I hope you do too.

I will keep my fingers crossed that family and friends made it far and lived long and happy lives. I hit a brick wall when I try to imagine where you are in life, like are you still living in Ireland? Did you move back to England or have you decided to venture out into the great unknown that has become like second nature to you now? Oh the images that come to mind ✨️. I have so many ambitions/goals that I have to write them down or else I get annoyed with myself if I forget. I will keep working towards these things and perhaps alter the 100 year old me that I am writing to, who knows?

I would like to think that 100 year old me will still be blogging, I’m 26 right now (I probably should have led with that 🤣) so the world will more than likely have advanced so much by then and it will be possible for wrinkly old me to still create till her heart is content. Perhaps you, the reader will still be here too and we will reminisce about the time I wrote that post to 100 year old me, not knowing about all of the amazing things that would come our way 💫.

Thank you for taking time out of your day to join me in today’s post 😊. This prompt had me all in my feels! 😂 If you also participated in this daily prompt, please let me know so I can go read it! Cause I’m nosy like that 🤣). I’ve gotta go now but I hope you enjoyed an insight into what I would say to 100 year old me! It took me a while to do this prompt as I had absolutely no idea what to say at first but then it just came to me! Aren’t they just the most enjoyable posts to write, when it feels like the words are flowing? I’ll see you guys again soon, I hope you go on to have a lovely day/night and if it is night then I condone you reading instead of sleeping because us bookworms need to make the most out of it when we’re not in a rut, I tell you! 🤣 Anyway, take care, stay safe and buh-bye 💗
