Dear 40 year old me
I hope you are married by now. Oh Dear God, I pray that you are married by the time you are 40. You have no F.R.I.E.N.D.S style pacts with anyone, so if you aren't married by the time you are 40, then for sure you will continue to grow in a crabby spinster.
If things go well your skin should have cleared up atleast by then. I know you look like an awkward overgrown teenager with painful pimples and acne scarring. Don't lose hope. Just come to terms with the fact that you will have a lot more crows feet and wrinkles than you do now.
The one thing I know you take a lot of pride in is your beautiful hair. It isn't going remain as it is forever. Accept the numerous white hair that will join the existing 10 strands that have already appeared. You could still look elegant with white hair. You never know.
Don't give upon blogging. No matter how many children you have (not more than two I hope), no matter how hectic your job is (assuming you will still be working), take the time to write and blog. The happiness this gives you can never be replaced by anything else.
Learn about finances. I know that anything beyond the basic RD and FD is slightly overwhelming, but you need to know where your money is going. You also need to know what are the oh-so many investments that your daddy has made. I mean you will be 40, you can't keep asking him every time you have to file Income Tax.
I know you are a good cook and that you enjoy cooking, but you really need to cook faster. I mean you can't take an hour and a half to make, rice, rasam and potato curry. At this rate you may have to start cooking breakfast from the night before.
Continue to do yoga and start meditation. Everyone knows that ageing gracefully includes good mental health and physical health. I am sure you will still be dancing around the house at the age of 40, but you will need some form of actual exercise.
Have friends younger than you. There is nothing more rejuvenating than having a conversation with a fresh voice. Younger people always have a different perspective to throw at you. Look at life through their eyes. It could be just what you need to get out of a rut.
Last but not in any way the least, enjoy being alone. Now that you know it isn't so bad, relish the ME time you get because you surely are not going to be a lot of that in the years to come. Go for spa days, pamper yourself, go out for a cup of tea and read a good book.
Cheers to an older, hopefully wiser you.
With love
30 year old me.
