Dear Future Me,

Happy 30th birthday! It's me, your 20-year-old  1 . Do you still remember the day when you wrote this e- mail?

The other day, Rachel was having her 30th birthday, and she was  2  out thinking that she had achieved nothing. It  3  me that I should make resolutions about what I want to  4  before my 30th.

This idea got me to   5  my future. Before, my life was   6  with the only theme ---college. Now, looking  7  , there will be people I have to get along with though I may  8  them, and things I have to deal with which I   9   to regard as worthless. The way to  10  is not cold war or stubbornness(固執(zhí))  11  compromise and communication.

What I am going to  12  is a society, not a locked classroom. So what are you doing? Do you still lock yourself up when you  13  people around?

I know I am shy and only  14   my attention on study. But I  15  hope that you are not like me, a mind easily affected by the outside world. After years of experience, hopefully you have  16   out of that small world and hold a place of your own.

_17  , there are also things that I don’t want you to change. Are you still the guy who  18  his judgment and has faith in life? Remember: try to find something  19_ in spite of difficulties.

I hope you are the way I want to be. But no matter what you are doing or what your life is like, I’ll always  20  you. Just be happy and healthy. That’s all I asked for.

Yours
