December days: dear future jack

This was a great prompt! At first I thought I didn't have much to say to future Jack, since future Jack is usually me but with better information. Which is actually pretty fortunate!

I sometimes wonder if I'm betraying past Jack's principles. But I THINK when I change my mind, it's for good reasons, not for selfish rationalizations. Although obviously it's hard to tell since I would think that :)

However, it occurred to be there are times when past Jack does have something to tell future Jack. What less wrong calls akrasia, when you have a clear idea if medium to long term goals but they are periodically drowned out by short term rationalizations: it's ok, I'll do it tomorrow; I'm tired, I should stop running; it's too hard, I'll never finish this task; etc etc. So things like resolutions: If I decide to do something once a week and decide in advance that's sufficient, and not too worry every time if I should be doing something else... that is basically a message to future Jack, saying I got this, don't worry about the planning, just follow the plan and it'll be OK.

So one thing I have to say is, I have faith in you, don't give up.

Another is, do things seem hard? Does it seem pointless and like you won't succeed? Have you screwed up and it's just not worth it? Well, dear future Jack, NO YOU HAVEN'T, IT'S THE FUCKING BRAIN WEASELS LYING TO YOU, YOU'RE DOING FINE, JUST KEEP GOING AND DON'T TRY TO REEVALUATE YOUR LIFE CHOICES IN THE MIDDLE OF A BRAIN WOBBLE! Ps. *hugs* *hugs* *hugs*, you're doing great thank you for handling my life well and keeping up the good work, love me xx
