Dear Past Self-

Thank you for being judicious with your time. I know all you wanted to do was write. I feel like I have achieved so much and so little at the same time. I am shoveling food into my mouth. Anyway.... Past self- I don't know what to tell you other than you are a rock star today. That whole Fight Song decision you made, to help motivate you to get out of bed... genius.

Past self- Yesterday was a little rough. I know you had a hard time focusing and I can feel it come on today. It's okay, i know in your gut you knew making your Save-the-Date instead of the million other things you are supposed to be doing was wrong. I am also more stressed because of it.

Past self- I don't know what to do. Our numbers are so low. So incredibly low. I don't know what to do to make them higher. Probably walk around town throwing out flyers in desperation. I keep putting off the outreach part of my job. I hate it. I like the coordinating, talking to community partners, helping prospective students, career coaching. I know you feel this way too. What to do?

Anyway, I am going to write future self now. Talk to you later.

Love,

Current Self


Dear Future Self-

I know you are happy because today was a banner day for our relationship. I actually followed through on what I was going to do. This is a win in our book. At the same time future self, I need to talk to you about the future. This means talk about ideas. I am stressed right now, and I don't want you to be stressed. I need help thinking through some things. Future self- what is important? How do I drum up business. I don't know what to do. I do know what to do and I hate it. I hate it too much. I need to block out my day and flyer the shit out of things. Our flyers need to be everywhere. It is not the exciting work, but it is the necessary work.

Anyway, tootles.
