Thanks to everyone who’s taken part in the #timetravel101 writing prompt. I’m thrilled so many have participated in this.

My first post was a letter to my 20 year old self, this one will be a message broadcast thirty-four years into the future... when I’m eighty years old.

I urge you to try this as well! Please tag with #timetravel101 if you do participate. If you use this tag and leave a link in the post comment below to your post I'll upvote and resteem.

Dear Eighty Year Old Me:

I can’t imagine all of the things you’ve seen and all of the change you’ve lived through but hope life has been filled with good things.

Maybe the world you live in is a much better place and some of the problems we have today have been solved.

Where are you living now? I can’t imagine it’s the US, maybe France, the UK, or possibly Amsterdam?

I suspect you feel almost the same as I do now, with a few more aches and pains, but you’re sometimes surprised when you see the gray and wrinkled reflection peering back from the mirror.

I hope HardFork was a huge hit, helped to usher in mass adoption of cryptocurrency, and ended lots of the corruption that limits our lives and freedom today.

I’m sure you miss some of the people and things you’ve lost but maybe the good memories of them make you smile. Remember your old beagle Amstel?

He was the best dog a person could have ever wanted. You're smiling just thinking about him, aren't you?

I hope you and Raymi still hold hands and kiss one another before you go to sleep. I’m sure you both have put lots of miles on your feet and have experienced so much travel. The airlines must have more comfortable seats now.

Did you ever launch the meditation foundation in the public school systems like you planned? If so, I hope it’s spread world-wide.

I hope you're not a serious old coot. I hope you still have a zest for life, your weird sense of humor, and a reason to get out of bed each and every morning. I don’t want your life to have turned into some mind-numbing routine. You’re not watching daytime television, are you? If so, for God sake, stop and read a book or take a walk.

You still (attempt to) dance and try to learn new things regularly, right? Remember break dancing in high school? Shell toe Adidas with fat laces. Hilarious.

You’re not wearing black socks with shorts and sandals I hope! Jeezus man, that would be embarrassing.

I hope you relish your wisdom and don’t long for your youth too much. Maybe all of the yoga I’m doing has kept you nimble. I’m trying my best to make it as easy for you as possible.

I love you, and I hope to one day I’m lucky enough to stand in your shoes...just not too soon,

(signed) Forty-six year old me.
