Write a letter to your future self, talking about your current relationship.

Dear Sally,

You're in the future, which means you're married to our sweet Babboo. Yay! It's really too bad I can't ask you how the wedding went... :/

Oh well. I'd like to say that I hope you're remembering to stop being so absorbed in yourself. You know we tend to focus on ourselves and poor Linus gets overlooked sometimes. He's sensitive, Sally! Don't forget that. Just because he acts like he is okay with stuff doesn't mean he always is! Please remember that he has a rough time with arguing. If you feel like arguing for no go reason, don't. Or, at least, call up Charlie and argue with him, instead! That's what big brothers are for, after all! Right now, you tend to be a bit abrupt and you want things to be all about you. He got you a pink ring, Sally! And, he did it because he knew you would love it.

Never forget that he deals with an awful lot for you! Look around the home you share with him and take notice of everything that is pink or light blue or yellow. He accepts that because it makes you happy, not neccesarily because he likes it. Be grateful for him, Sally! Do nice things and always show him how much you love him! You went to his office and decorated it for him, remember? Even if he didn't like the decoration, you showed him that you care! That's super important!

Finally, stop yapping about the blanket. It's not going anywhere, you know! He loves it (for whatever reason), and it hurts his feelings to be mean about it. Is being a snippy-pants worth hurting the man you love's feelings? No. No, it's not! Accept it, just as he accepts you. You'll both be happier for it!

Love, Sally :-)
