Love this. I too am often bullied by my Future Self, and sometimes I tell her to just go the F away. It doesn't always turn out well for Present Self, by the way — or at least that's what Past Self claims.
Ha! I loved this! The first time I heard the phrase your son said about his future self was last year when my partner was taking time to back his car in the garage (something I truly don't understand!) and he said it was a gift to his future self. But all I could think at the time is that this "gift" to your future self wasn't even that good since to me, reversing out of a driveway isn't actually hard at all! haha
But I love where you took it, and being someone, much like yourself, who is on top of all the biohacking trends...its totally hard to find a balance. And I realize any time I DO try to find balance that my present self usually feels A LOT guilty. But thanks for reminding me I probably shouldn't!
My present self is telling me to stop "wasting" time reading Substack posts, but my future self is reminding me that if it weren't for posts like yours (and the people behind them) there would be no point in prolonging my time on earth.
Thanks for giving my future self a laugh to remember.
Not every day is a winner for you...sometimes the present gets the "win", knowing that the future gets the "loss". But I promise you, I'll try to find balance so that the wins/losses are evenly distributed in order to maximize the number of tomorrows, and also the happiness of the todays.
Sincerely,
Present Self (that may or may not have a beer/wine/whiskey in his hand, but that certainly exercises a lot and eats well as a way to offset that part)

Lmao Jan I’m glad I’m not the only person in a “tense” war with oneself 🤦🏻♀️

Raising a glass of wine to you. ;)
We need to actually raise a glass in person some day soon!

Dear Future Self,
Not every day is a winner for you...sometimes the present gets the "win", knowing that the future gets the "loss". But I promise you, I'll try to find balance so that the wins/losses are evenly distributed in order to maximize the number of tomorrows, and also the happiness of the todays.
Sincerely,
Present Self (that may or may not have a beer/wine/whiskey in his hand, but that certainly exercises a lot and eats well as a way to offset that part)
Cheers!
