My Dear Daughter,
I don't know if you will ever read this, but right now I have to make a confession, to you.This moment, 1:06 pm, July 11th, 2010, I hate myself. And I want you never to become the person I am now. Because until yesterday I always thought being like me is the best thing, wild & free. But looks like those things lead to bad things that make you write to your future/non-existent daughters. So I am making a correction.
I have driven my life to a point from where I have nowhere to go. I am not depressed. But honestly, I know no direction in which I can head. I am not confused, I am sure that I have reached rock bottom. And so I am writing this letter to you. Become anyone but me, sweetie.
Following free will is good I thought. I never drew lines because I found drawing lines the hardest thing. I dictated the rules of my life. Or rather I had no rules. But that I realize is not the best idea. I have so many skeletons in the closet that it will burst open any moment now. And no matter how liberal you are, and however determined you are never to regret, never to be guilty of your actions, you wouldn't be able to help yourself.
I don't know if one day you will be for real, because I have begun believing that I don't deserve good things like you in my life. But one day, if I have you, if at all, we are going to have this long conversation, we are probably going to draw some lines for you. Probably.
Love,..
Your future Mom..

Heyyyy....what is this? Why are u so dejected?
I am no one to ask but it bothers me....take a long hard look...life is not that bad...most things don't work out the way we want them but still...
More than the outright brilliance of your post (as always)I am concerned about your state of being now...

Wow..you have penned down my feelings verbatim..
I really like the honesty in all your writings
Life is a bottomless pit wild...Somehow, we keep falling and reach the "rock bottom" only when our "body" is ready to rot!
You are for real, your beautiful fall is for real! keep falling... make the travel worth it wen you reach the bottom! ;)
cheers!
