Dear Future Self

With a smile and fullness of happiness in my heart, I write to you.
I must say I'm very much elated seeing and knowing you're well and happy in life.
I've longed to see you; I know I would see soon, but the fact I know you're okay is enough for me and not to rush to see you.
I see you've become noble, principled and a gentle person. All people admire you because of your generosity and how gentle you are. I am happy the sacrifices I'm making today to be strong in kindness and generousity have yielded good and positive results. I'm being criticized all because of how hard I'm trying to uphold my principles and that is what has guided you to where you're. For which we can call you a man of integrity.
Future self, I see you carry a lot of wisdom, knowledge and a good oratory skills. I'm happy how people become satisfied when you speak even in crises. People are happy with the way you tackle issues and how you solve them with the knowledge you have just amazes them. For this you've been able to carve a niche for yourself in trust and truthfulness. All these makes me proud because the knowledge I'm acquiring from reading has made you knowledgeable. The application of these knowledge too without doubt has made you wise in your dealings and trustworthy.
You seem not to be shaken by circumstances,future self. This makes me glad as you're able to withstand any stumble that comes your way. I am sad, broken and crying too much, but I smile in the pains because I see you're now immovable by situations irrespective of how bad it looks.
I'm not able to put deaf ears to what people will say and perceive about me, I'm worried, afraid and conscious not to make mistakes so I don't get to hear about the things people are saying about me. I've seen going through all these has made you stronger and not afraid of what they say about you.
Dear future self, you understand the plight of the poor and oppressed and also feel for them. I don't like to be going through these but it has made you man who understands life and appreciate what you have.
Dear future self, I would like conclude here, but I must sincerely say I'm very much happy the situations, sorrows, pains as well as other mischiefs I'm going through have been able to make you a better man and I'm PROUD if that.
Send my regards to the family and friends who are still with you. I leave you with the peace of GOD and hope to see you soon.

                                Aephaniel Owusu-Agyemang.
