Есть такой сервис, 10Q. Каждый сентябрь отвечаешь на 10 вопросов, по вопросу в день. В следующем году внезапно получаешь свои прошлогодние ответы. Иногда заставляет задуматься, а иногда поржать.
Теперь я поцитирую свои прошлогодние ответы. Так, себе поржать.
Is there something that you wish you had done differently this past year? Alternatively, is there something you're especially proud of from this past year?
Your Answer:
Yes. I wish I hadn't dated Hovo, I wish I hadn't said no to David, I wish I had fallen in love with somebody who is worth it.
I'm proud of going to LSE Summer Schoo, despite all the obstacles. I'm proud to have played in the play.
When September 2012 rolls around and you receive your answers to your 10Q questions, how do you think you'll feel? What do you think/hope might be different about your life and where you're at as a result of thinking about and answering these questions?
Your Answer:
I think I'll feel relieved that all of this stuff is already history. Not that I think I'll be happier, but I hope to be wiser.
Hey, older me,
Babe, I really hope you sorted yourself out in this year. You're such a mess now, I'm at a loss. Get a grip, girl, trust your heart.
And please, please be happily in love. Not the complicated fucked up feeling you're used to, but calm and usual, very natural, very right.
Keep holding on.
Ah, the irony of all of this.
