#schrijven #brief #toekomst This is about everything I expect, hope and wonder about myself.

Dear me or perhaps Lady in Red as you are now called.
At the moment, I'm internship. With a red overalls on. I'm sure you remember that. The moment you're so afraid of. I'm curious. It's so hard to keep up no matter how much fun it is. I feel like I'm not made to work full-time and for part-time I'm almost destroyed by incentives. I wonder how you handled that problem.
You still live at home? Or are you lucky enough to earn enough and find a cottage? I know how scared I am. Not being able to earn enough to take care of myself or build a future. How'd you handle getting a degree? For me, it's next year at 19.
Have you been with the person you love so much now for almost 10 years? How far have you grown and changed? Are you still engaged like you are now?
Did you have to stiggle hard for your driver's license? Now it worries me a lot, and I know how scared I am. Do you have your own car? Did it work without too much trouble?
How are you dealing with Findus now? Now it's very difficult and it's a lot of trouble for me.
Is it possible to be a little more social than now? At the moment, I don't really think it's necessary to make friends or look for them. Maybe that's a lot different now?
How's life in 2027? Is it so much different than it is now? I hope so, actually...

What gives you motivation to persevere? Do you get help from others? Can you do much alone? What's your rest? Does drawing still help as much as it has done now and has always done?

For now, I want to experience everything slowly and by day. But who knows what's changed in these seven years?
