Time Capsule

(...What would it be like to meet the future you? What would you expect?)

My experience:

Exactly five years ago to this day, I wrote a post on this blog. I happened to read it purely by chance today (credits: some FB feed that had reminded me of  another one of my earlier posts Off the Cuff).

What has changed?

• I’ve grown older. I’ve no idea what makes me say that simply by reading the old post. Back then, I sounded less… mature?
• I’ve become less apologetic about procrastination.
• Watsapp has replaced the good old SMS. In fact, these days, I have actually developed a repulsion towards forwarded messages.
• Mom doesn’t breathe down my neck any more.

What hasn’t changed?

• My style of writing.
• My tendency to make lists.
• I'm still giving end-sems in April. (It's been FIVE years now. MAN I’m old. I kind of feel like my heroine Cecilia from Piled Higher and Deeper)
• People still don’t comment on my blog. This means YOU.

Some things change, some don’t.

That was an interesting exercise.

So... What should I expect another five years hence? Who knows? I’m going to sit back and let me surprise me!
