给未来的我一封信篇1
Dear Sherri,
By the time you read this you will be 30. At the age of 18 I had so many hopes and dreams about where you'd be, what you'd be doing and with whom you'd spend your life with.
Right now I hope that you have traveled and seen everything you've always wanted to, both in Canada and overseas, and maybe even settled down somewhere in Australia doing some research in the field of biology (genetics).
I hope you're married to the man of your dreams. The man of mine is Gwynn. He is originally from South Africa (another place I wish to visit).
You'll probably have two children of your own – a girl(Michaela Anne) and a boy (name yet to be decided).
If everything goes according to plan you'll be living in Australia in a big house in a small town outside of a big city with a lot of land, a dog, Gwynn and your two beautiful children. Hopefully you have a career in the medical field, maybe doing research in genetics. Gwynn will be a computer programmer and you will be doing alright for yourselves.
However, if things don't go according to plan for you, I wish you all the love, happiness and joy in the world and don't settle for anything less than the best since that is absolutely what you deserve.
Live long, be happy and live life to it's fullest.
Love Sherri "18"
给未来的我一封信篇2
Dear Future Husband,
亲爱的未来老公:
I'm not yet sure whether you exist, though I'd like to believe that you do. While it may not make much logical sense, you've been on my mind lately. I haven't thought much about what you'll look like, how tall you'll be, or what type of car you'll drive — I'm not too concerned with the minor details. However, I have been thinking about a few things I want you to know.
我尚不确定你是否存在,虽然我愿意相信你的存在。虽然有点不太符合逻辑,但你最近总出现在我脑海里。关于你的长相、你的身高或者你开什么车子我都没想太多,我不太关心这些无关紧要的细节,然而我一直在想有几件事你需要知道。
I want you to know that I am happy — right now — as a single, 26-year-old "millennial" who lives in a small apartment with a roommate and eats Chipotle for dinner more times than I care to admit. I love my job, I love my crazy friends and family, and I love spending quality time alone. I want you to know that my life has purpose apart from and before you. When we do meet one day, I want you to understand that I do not expect you to complete me, or to be my God. That's way too much pressure for anyone to bear. I am already complete.
我想要你知道,现在单身的我很幸福,一个26岁的千禧一代,和室友一起住在一个小公寓里,晚餐吃墨西哥便餐的次数多得我自己都不愿意去想。我喜欢自己的工作,喜欢疯狂的朋友和家人,喜欢独处的宝贵时光。我想要你知道没有你的时候和遇到你之前我的生活都有目标。某天我们遇见了,我想让你明白我不需要你来使我变得更完美或主宰我的生活,那样我们的压力都太大,我的生活已经很完整了。
I want you to know that I am not a trophy. Apparently, a lot of guys think this is a compliment. However, I want you to know that I have no desire to be seen as a trophy — a symbol of your own perceived success. I was not raised just to sit and look pretty on anybody's shelf. I want to have intellectual conversations. I want to help you chase your dreams. I want to be your partner, not your prize.
我想要你知道我不是你的战利品。显然很多男孩都觉着这是恭维,但我想要你知道我不想被人当做战利品来象征你自己的成功。我的成长不是仅仅为了坐在别人的架子上成为漂亮的摆设。我想要有头脑的对话,想帮你追求梦想,想成为你的搭档,而不是你的奖品。
I want you to know that I am a feminist, and I want you to be a feminist, too. This doesn't mean I am anti-men, and it doesn't mean I think myself superior to you. It merely means that as a woman, I believe that I should have the power and the choice to define what it means to be a female. Maybe I will continue to work a full-time job for the duration of our marriage. Maybe, one day, I'll decide to take on the onerous yet rewarding task of being a stay-at-home mom. Either way, I'll be "working." I am hopeful that you and I will be able to come up with a solution that works best for our relationship, and for our future family, free from societal expectations.
我想要你知道我主张男女平等,希望你也是。这不是说我对男人反感或感觉自己比你优越。我只想说,作为女人,我相信我应该有权力选择去定义一个女人的意义。可能结婚以后我还会继续全职工作,也可能有一天会决定选择繁重但却值得的全职太太的任务。无论选择哪一个,那都是我的工作。我满怀希望地认为你和我能找到最适合我们自己和未来家庭的方式,而不会为世俗所累。
I want you to know that while your opinions will be valuable to me, I will try my hardest not to exchange my personal identity for your stamp of approval. It has taken me over two decades to become comfortable in my own skin, and I don't ever want tocompromise that. I hope that you will love me whether I decide to wear my hair long or short. I hope that you will think I am beautiful whether I choose to walk around with a fresh face or eyes adorned with mascara. If we choose to have children, I hope that you will appreciate my body post-pregnancy just as much as you did the day we met.
我想要你知道虽然你的想法对我来说很重要,但我还是会尽最大努力不用自己的身份来换取你的认可。我花了20多年才适应自己,我可不想做出让步。我希望无论我是决定留长发还是短发你都爱我;我希望无论我是选择素颜还是刷上睫毛膏出门你都觉着我很美。如果我们想要宝宝,我希望你会像刚遇见我时那样喜欢我怀孕后的身材。
I want you to know that I am not concerned with the size of my future engagement ring, and I will never pressure you to propose. Sure, I've thought about those things. I'm inundated daily with images of blushing brides and fairytale weddings. But at the end of the day, my goal is not to get married, but to stay married. If you promise to be my best friend for life, I promise not to get caught up in all the wedding madness.
我想要你知道我不在乎未来订婚戒指的大小,也决不会给你压力让你求婚。是的,那些我都曾幻想过,我每天都不停幻想红着脸的新娘和童话般的婚礼。但最终我的目标不是结婚,而是维持住婚姻。如果你答应作我一辈子最好的朋友,我就答应你不会陷入对婚礼的狂热追求。
Most importantly, I want you to know that when we do fall in love, I will love youunconditionally. I don't expect you to be perfect, and I can guarantee you that I won't be either. I do, however, expect you to accept me fully for who I really am, and I promise to do the same for you. I will never try to change you, I will never let you feel unseen, and I will always be your number one fan.
最重要的一点就是,我想要你知道恋爱时我会无条件地爱你。我不期待你很完美,我敢保证我也不完美。然而我真地希望你能完全接受真正的我,我保证也如此对你。我永远不会努力去改变你,永远不会让你感觉被忽视,我永远都是你的头号粉丝。
Yours truly,
爱你,
Perfectly Imperfect Me.
完美却又不完美的我。
给未来的我一封信篇3
When you look back on yourself in the past – 10, 20, 30 or more years ago – it’s surprising to see how much you have changed over time. Your experiences, your friends, your family and your work have all shaped who you are right now. But where will you be in another few years? How will you have changed? Reflective writing in your journal is an excellent way to think about what you want out of the future.
当你10年、20年或更多年后回顾过去时,你会吃惊地发现,随着时光的流逝,你也发生了很大的变化。你的经历、朋友、家庭和工作造就了现在的你。但是再过几年你会在哪里呢?你会如何变化呢?这样反思性的写作,会是思考未来你想要什么的一种好的方式。
You may have already written a letter to your younger self before, conveying all the wisdom and perspective you wish you had had at the time. Now consider the opposite end of the spectrum; what would you say if you wrote your future self a letter?
你也许以前试过给过去的自己写信,向年轻时的自己传授一些人生的智慧和观点,你希望那时候的自己就能知道这些。现在我们换个角度看问题,如果让你给未来的自己写封信,你会写点什么?
Just imagine writing a letter to your future self 5 years from now, then opening it at that exact moment 5 years down the road to see how much of it resonated with you. It is a useful supplementary tool to be used in goal achievement, because when you write the letter to your future self, it helps crystallize exactly how you anticipate yourself to become at that specific moment down the road.
想象一下,给5年后的自己写一封信,当5年后你打开那封信时,你会产生多少共鸣。这是实现目标的一种有用的辅助工具,因为当你给未来的自己写信时,你会慢慢理清希望自己在人生旅途的那个特定时刻变成什么样子。
As you read the letter in the future, you can assess how many things match up (or not) vs. your expectations in the past and think about why that’s the case. Often times, the goals we set and our goal achievement process are subjected to a lot of changes along the way, due to varying obstacles, unanticipated circumstances and changing priorities. The letter gives you a macro-view of your initial vision and lets you recognize how your current vision differs from the past.
当你在未来读这封信时,你可以看看有多少事情是像你过去期望的那样,你也会思考为什么会这样。很多时候,我们设定目标在实现的过程中会受到沿途中各种因素的影响,因为会遇到各种各样的困难、各种意外情况并需要不断调整优先级。这封信能让你从宏观的角度上去看自己最初的愿景,让你意识到自己现在的想法和过去相比有多么不同。
When you open the letter in the future, you as your future self gets to compare how you used to be in the past and compare with how you are currently. This lets you see in totality how much things have changed since then – and this can be a really intriguing experience. It’s interesting to just see how much you have grown/changed since you wrote the letter.
当你以后看信时,你会把过去的自己和现在的自己进行比较。这会让你看清从写信时起你发生了哪些变化,这种体验是非常有趣的。光看看从你写信开始发生了哪些变化就很有趣了。
