Post your answer in the LEAVE A COMMENT section below. I’m not the boss of you, though. Don’t write anything for all I care! Hurry up; you’re not getting any younger.

. . .here are my thoughts.

What would you write in a letter to your 100-year-old self?

“Sorry!” 

That’s it—one simple word.  I’m writing to my future 100-year-old self.  100!!  I don’t want to waste any of the valuable, limited time me of the future has remaining.  They (who knows how I’ll identify in 5+ decades) don’t need to read a 10,000-word lecture from some idiot version of their past self.  Current me who wrote the letter—that is, the me who wrote this 200-word post you’re currently reading—is a completely different person than the me at the time I’ll be reading the five-letter letter written by the me from erstwhile generations.  Got it?  Yeah, me neither.  What I’m trying to say is, people change.  Think about the version of you just 5 years ago.  How vastly have you changed in that relatively short time period?  Miserly 100-year-old me would have changed ten times as much as you have over the last half-decade—enough to have multiple versions of the Ship of Theseus physically, emotionally, mentally, philosophically, etc.ally, etc.ally.  For anyone who doesn’t appreciate the brevity of the single-word message I’d impart upon geriatric me, I’ve got twice as many words for you …
