Late to the party

Daily writing prompt
Write a letter to your 100-year-old self.

I just don’t understand the context of writing to myself when I’m 100. Like why. It’s not like I can warn myself of anything like writing backwards to a younger self. 100 year old me will have lived through everything already. Lived through everything I am living through.

I suppose if my memory completely fails by 100 then it would serve as a reminder of happy or poignant moments in my life. I could remind my 100 year old self of that.

Anyway, I don’t want to live to 100 most likely, I want a life of quality years not quantity. Write a letter to my 75 year old self might be more realistic, but again, why?

75 year old me will be smarter than the me now.

Anywho, happy to see photos on WP from other bloggers of spring making it’s appearances in many spots on this earth. Where I am, there’s no such thing yet. Although yes, the days are longer and I appreciate that so much. The temps however, not relenting whatsoever.

    wow – that temperature!

    and I agree about the 100 year old letter. I’m hoping that as very very late Gen-Xers, we can catch the wave of genetic alteration technology. I was thinking that if we did that, they’d probably make us have some special designation like adding a “1+” to our age and we’d have to demarcate that as the year of our new genetic overlap. like if we did the genetic tailoring today, we’d be whatever our human years are but we’d also have to say our tech age is “1-0” and then next year it would be “1-1” and so on and so forth.

  4. We’re having a freezing, rainy and windy week! It’s the most winter it’s been here and the mountains are grateful for snow. I, on the other hand, am beyond ready for Spring!
