Open letter: From Me, To You, The Future

I see you, I see you living. Oblivious to the world you one day will be force to enter. Everything is a mystery, everything is magic to your eyes. The natural curiosity thrives. Trying to speak the words you hear, communication is still something new, you can only observe. Point, ask, repeat, learn and laugh, live. Touch everything, interact with everything, you don't care about the big questions. They don't matter after all.

Right or wrong? These words mean nothing to you. Drop, throw, touch and press. The only way to learn is to do. The watchful eye is upon you, no, not God. The people who love you are always there, trying to keep you away from harms way. Trying to teach you how to speak and live, but you are a natural at living, they are just trying to contain you. They can't though, you don't care what they say, you just want to do, they are just there for you to ask. "No" they say, but you have no idea why, they are trying to take this joy of discovery away. Here it goes again, "No", I can see your face changing, a face of confusion, you don't know what you did wrong. You did nothing wrong, to do something wrong you need to know that is wrong.

Confusion only lasts for a second, you are back in discovering, back in hugging the people they told you not to do it, you don't know what forgiveness is, someday you will, unfortunately. You mumble words with no meaning, they are trying to decode you, I can't understand you, but I can see the wonder in your eyes, I wish I had that, I must have been like you a long time ago. It's like you give the world around you a glimpse of their past, yet they seem oblivious to it. Fascinated by a button, I need more than that to be fascinated, I guess you are more appreciative, I guess I am more of a know it all.

I speak to you, you laugh like I said something funny. Don't stop laughing, never, for no one. I laugh back, you hug me, I must have done something right. Always hug the people you love, never stop. You need to eat but you have no time for that, you always eat while doing something, it's remarkable, so much energy, I guess time for you is not real, you don't care about time passing or any schedule this world is on. Why would you? You have all the time in the world, nothing is going to waste in your mind, nothing can stop this drive. I feel sorry it will at some point, yet i hope it won't.

I am sorry, I forgot how to be young, I am caught up in this world you are not. I am trying the best to communicate, you don't mind me, you ask nothing from me, I am trying though. Born loved, yet you will search your whole life for love, isn't it ironic? Remember you are always loved, always treasured. People will tell you "No" a lot of times, people you love, myself included, keep your state of mind like this, careless and free. Don't judge us, we might not know better. Don't forget you are the future. Don't forget to love, to live, to discover. I promise I will try to be more like you.
