Dear self,

   I hope that you are doing great at this middle age in the future. Maybe this day will come and shows me that already achieve my dream. I hope that myself in this future middle age has become successful and makes her family proud of what she did. At this middle age, I wish that I have a happy family that always be my side and make a light for my life every day. I promise myself at this I will make my parents happy and make them feel that they are so precious in my life. To myself, do always the right thing and face a bad thing to teaching you what is life. I hope that you become more kind, loving, and caring person although you never do that in this previous life. Do the thing whatever you want and don’t ever give up easily because opportunity only once in our life. And the most important thing is always to love yourself. Before you love somebody you must remember to love yourself first. You know my dear self, I hope that you already travel all the places that you want to go and keep the picture of your memories that you have taken with the polaroid camera. Please stay healthy always and get more exercise and Zumba cause I know that you like it so much. Never forget someone that always supports you and you also don’t forget him easily because that is the most precious thing that happens in your life. I know it will be him that always be by your side. He will become a caring and loving person to you and always beside you either in sorrow or happiness causes you to share all your life with him. And that is your partner’s life with you in the future. Dear self, you should know that I adore you so much because after you have reached this future middle age you become stronger while facing the problems that make you more stressed. But it’s okay because I know you’re a strong person and I feel it. That’s all from me my dear self. Always take care of yourself and be who you are not who they are. I love you.

Hi my future, how are you? I hope you don’t have any problem with your health. I hope you have chosen a good job that you interested in and you can enjoy when doing it. By that, you don’t have stress and can spend time with your family.  I also hope you make your parents happy about your achievements.

Besides that, I hope you have a big house and beautiful garden in front of your house. In the garden, I hope you have planted many beautiful flowers. Then, I wish you have a good husband to take care of you and your child and be a good wife and mother. Lastly, I hope you can enjoy with your life.

Hi my future, What I want in my middle age is that I want to keep my physical health and be physically and mentally healthy. I wish I had been able to deal with my depression a little bit before things go badly. Besides, I also want my family to be healthy. The second is in employment. What I’m hoping for at this point is that I’m already focused on my career. And bring myself to move forward and always be efficient and passionate about doing the work that I have dreamed of. The third is my role with my family and my work. I hope at this time I can be a very happy child of my family because I want them to always be happy with what I have and what’s important is that I can give them pleasure in anything. Therefore, I also hope that I can bring myself to the country more often and can bring my family to travel to other countries. I also hope at this time that I have everything I want and don’t have to depend on anyone else. Instead, with the rest of my life, I want to help people who really need help. Lastly, the sweet message for myself at this middle age is to be determined to move forward and not be lazy to be happy, increasing my motivation in my life is better than ever. This is because I don’t want people to always think we are weak and don’t know how to retire for ourselves.

Dear cayrol,

 In the middle of the age I wanted at that time, I hoped everything I wanted to be was accomplished. Right at age 40, I have everything. For example, you already own a house, car, grandchild, and be a businessman at that time. I hope at that age I have a great restaurant and focus on my business. And then I’ll hand it over to my kids to manage my business. At this middle age, I hope I can spend more time with my family and travel with them to some places to strengthen our relationship. I hope at this middle age I also have good health. What I want at this age is that I want to look after my cute grandchildren. I wish I had a harmonious family and always worship. I also want my time to be free to serve God. Also, I want to make handicrafts at this age just to spare my old age. I hope my children also love, respect, and care for me and my husband as we grow older. I wish what I had achieved at this age could be achieved.

To my loved ones in my old age, remember that you were always the joy of your parents. Today you are old, you have had a lot of experience. There is a bitter, sweet, laughter and sad experience you experience. Day by day, you need to be strong to make your day a happier one. Therefore, you need to go through all your problems with one better step of being patient. Many of your children and grandchildren can take care of you until now. Remember yourself, now is not the time for you to work anymore as your children and grandchildren are responsible for them for now.

Also, get enough of your practices and worship from now on because you don’t know when God calls you to go home with him. Maybe it’s tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to come back. As much as possible, do not confess to the sins you have committed so far, for God is merciful and loving to all his people. Follow in the footsteps of your friends who are on the path to completing the worship of the world and the end of it.

Ultimately, this message aims to make me open my mind to keep thinking in a good way because I need to know that young people will never be the same as old age. But it is not this old age to make me weak but to be strong and patient because strong and patient it will be to keep striving for and continue to strive for a path that is divinely blessed.
