Dear Adam,
I know what you're thinking—I don't remember writing this. You're looking at your handwriting and trying to figure out when you wrote a letter to yourself and you're coming up blank. First of all, don't panic. Your memory is fine. Vallo magic is being weird. Second, don't panic. This is you writing this, no one and nothing possessed your hands or your eyes or your body. Third, don't get angry. You're likely getting angry right now at yourself and, well, me. Who is also you. Again, Vallo magic.
I'm not going to tell you what happens in the future. You (and I) have a high level of concern about specifics in prediction and whether or not they lead to self-fulfilling prophecies. But it would be wrong not to leave you with something, because then what's the point of the letter? What's the point of having this psychic power and doing nothing with it? What's the point of growing up and not having any wisdom to impart?
And who better to trust than yourself?
There are going to be a lot of times in your life where you're going to overthink something. Like really fucking overthink it. Because that's how you are, meticulous and deliberate and cautious. You're never going to stop being those things. You're going to analyze every detail, you're going to worry over the ramifications of what it could mean. You will definitely stress about finances. There will be pros and cons lists, and sleepless nights, arguments and hurt feelings. You'll overthink all those, too.
But I'm going to leave you with one piece of advice for all those times when your brain hurts, and you can't find the perfect solution, and you're too goddamn stubborn to give up:
Fuck it, just say yes.
It will be worth it. I promise.
Sincerely,
Adam
P.S. Take the money. It's yours anyway.
