Be Your Future Self Now Novels & Stories

"That's good. When work gets too busy, you young people often forget to take care of yourselves. Since you're still young now, you think it doesn't matter. But once you get older, you'll realize that it'll catch up to you." "You're right. We'll be careful." Stephanie nodded lightly. "You should take good care of yourself, too, Grandpa," Adrian abruptly commented. "Certain things are best left alone."

Be happy with what you have been given. Live for today not tomorrow. Get up, get out, and start living, Because the past is the past for a reason. It's been, and now it is gone, So stop trying to think of ways to fix it. It's done, it's unchangeable; move on. Each day we wake is such a gift; No moment's guaranteed. Tomorrow isn't promised, But to fate we must concede. We cannot know our futures, How long or short our lives. We simply do the best we can

My telecel smartphone buzzed with every other message. Unknown: “You suppose you’re in advance ? You're no longer even close.” I exhaled sharply. “Then it’s time we get in advance.” Cipher idea they might erase their past. We had been approximately to rewrite their future.

“I didn’t eat pizza for almost four years trying to change the future.” “My grandmother always said that it was impossible to predict the future,” Aislen reached out an arm towards him and he stepped into the embrace, putting his arms around them both. “She said that it was only possible to see potentials. The future shifts and changes with each choice that we make.”

That night, Nathan opened his laptop and started a letter he never thought he’d write. “Dear Former Self,” “You can rest now. You don’t have to be the wall anymore. Someone else will hold the line with you.” He saved it under a new folder: Becoming.

"Who cares? They're all gone, and it's all my fault." "Gio…" "Don't do it. I'm not going to talk about it." "It makes no sense to punish your future for your mistakes in the past. Don't let your past define you; instead, use it to strengthen the person you'll become." I overheard him giggling. "You've got some deep shit there." I laughed. I can't believe I'm saying all of this to him. "I'm not sure what happened, but I believe you should learn to forgive yourself in small steps. Allow yourself to forgive yourself gradually, and then grow from it before letting it go."

I sighed as I lay my body on the bed. A few minutes later, someone knocked at my door and I heard a voice saying, “prepare for your first office venture next week.” “Next week?”, there was a loud ping on my ear and all I can hear was the repeated “first office venture next week”. My nightmare will begin next week and I’m sure of it. **** ONE WEEK LATER

"Who in the world are you, and what is this car accident about?" I asked, pulling on the handbrake with all my might. Still shaken, I stared at the crash site not far away, my back drenched in cold sweat. Someone with a voice identical to mine spoke through the phone. "Do not doubt me. I am you from three years in the future. That's why I know about all these." However, this felt absurd to me. I was convinced it was a tech-savvy voice-phishing scammer who was manipulating my voice.

So, she came for back up. “Have faith in yourself, you hold the future, it was just a warning, it was just a premonition”, she said.

Then, after a pause, he added, “And remember what I told you.” I nodded. “The past can burn you if you let it. But the future is what you make of it.” Eli smiled, a small, knowing smile. “That’s right.” We said our goodbyes, and as Ben and I walked away from the farm, the weight of Eli’s words settled over me like a blanket. He was right. The past would always be there, but it didn’t have to define me. I had a future to make. A future with Ben.
