Your future self

Be kind to your future self.

Load and run the dishwasher tonight so your future self 
doesn’t get up to a kitchen full of dirty dishes.

Fold the laundry when it’s done drying,
so your future self has something unwrinkled to wear.

Pay your bills on time,
so your future self isn’t paying late fees.

Say no to another commitment,
so your future self has time to read or take a walk.

Call a friend, so your future self
doesn’t regret not staying in touch with the people you love.

Do small things now, in this moment:
Your future self will be grateful.
