It is time... you know the drill.
Post a letter to yourself/whoever that you plan to read in the future.
Thread gets locked in certain time. (Sometime in January?)
Then gets unlocked sometime in December 2022.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Hey Sebastian, you weirdo, talking to your future self again?

Did you pass the police academy?
Did you finally repair/sell that Audi? At least fix the paint job.
Did you repair your broken relationship with your step-mother? (Do you at least talk?)

Did you fix that window in your bedroom?
Did you lower the ceiling in the living room?
Did you pain the bedroom walls with the blue color you wanted?
At the time of writing this you kind of blocked some of the best friends in your life that you had and you cant really explain why.
Your BFF disappointed you with his promise to help you change the car oil, but maybe he was just being goofy.
Did you cut off contact to prove point? Regardless of the motivation, hopefully your decade long friendship has been resumed.

Did you stay clean off that other shit?
Did you learn some self-discipline? Can you actually consistently keep your house clean instead of only doing it when it gets really bad?

Also to make this thing more of an conversation I will try to include context from previous Time capsules and to try and make me feel progress/decline with my own life.

-Are you in that police academy or the military school?

Well... I do not remember it being this short... but I guess its all that matters.
Yes, yes I am at the police academy. And I am extremely proud of this. I would never believe this was going to happen.

Whatever happens next, I will be happy.
And there is always room for improvement.

Well, I probably won't have time to read this in January 2022, but I think there is one thing I can say:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Sorry.  I'm just so tired.  December sucks, if you can remember. I know you're going through a lot, but bigger & better right?

[Sebastian2203]

Hmm, usually we had more people doing this?
Lack of future optimism considering current way things go in the world or drop of interest in this semi-tradition?

I would be interested in hearing stories about how you folks perceive your lives in relevance to past and future.

Does anybody have coherent plan for their life? Did it work out? Does it change due to circumstances?
Do you feel any change in the way you think?
Do you feel cringe when reading old posts? (I do)

Consider this a shameless bump.

EDIT: I also got the time of locking and unlocking confused. Time Capsule gets unlocked in December 2022 not January.

Where's everybody at?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Have you actually made a new animation?
Made and finished new props for said animations?
Ever figure out how to convert the animations to MP4?
Still working on that video archive, if so how many videos are in it and how many channels does it contain now?
Ever do any welding?
Did you weld together anything interesting?
Almost forgot the most important question, are you still a bastard?

EDIT: I also got the time of locking and unlocking confused. Time Capsule gets unlocked in December 2022 not January.

Hm, so I guess I'll leave my post and see if it's still relevant in December 2022.

I guess I don't tend to worry about the future too much. Dunno what's gonna happen.
But I do always check to see if I got a message from myself, and it'd be disappointing to get nothing.
I love you.

I'll wait for the previous one to get unearthed.

[Sebastian2203]

I'll wait for the previous one to get unearthed.

As far as I know, we had no Time Capsule from the almost previous year. (2021)
Only the one that got locked in January 2020. (You can check the first post to find a link in this thread)

Feel free to correct me if I a wrong and there exists one, I was unable to find it.

Also I need to think of some rules when naming those capsules, it seems very confusing to me.
Should we call it 2022 capsule or 2021? What would be the best convention.
I think this one should be called 2021 because it started in December and should carry the year of that month.

[KittyTac]

I thought the thread got hidden.

[Enemy post]

Yeah, I think they’re always hidden until they’re opened. Waiting for that to write a new one.

So... yeah, no idea where you'll be now. Sorry about that in advance. Hey - at least I'm trying! Hope you're not teaching and hating it, or incredibly overworked and unhappy at a consultant position, or unemployed and depressed about it... at this point the next year could hold a lot.

Hope the weight's better. You really need to find fitness outside of waterpolo. Maybe a different sport, but if you haven't worked something out at this point, maybe the situation calls for just knuckling under and accepting the tedium of a gym.

Your romantic life was... eh, in a weird spot at this point. Not exactly sure what you want. Which might be the problem. I guess I'm kinda jealous of you right now, as you're at least aware of how everything turned out. Hope I didn't screw up too badly, but I'm sure we didn't act as stupidly as in the 2018/19 catastrophe. Gods willing.

Stay in contact with people you value as friends. Can't stress this enough. Contact them again if you haven't talked to them in the last month, you inward-looking bastard.

What else? Hope finals were ok, and that you scraped a 2:1 at least. Touch wood. It's pretty clear you're not going to accomplish any great intellectual work academically by now, and that's fine. Just try and find a way to be useful to the world, however long it will last.

Haut les couers! You don't have to be unhappy. If you really need to, stop taking the world on its own terms, retreat a little, and start operating on yours. Distance isn't great, but there have been much worse parts of your life than the times you stood back a little. But if you're doing fine, well done!

Best,
You

You know what, poor us from the end of 2020, he thought this would be over by now and it wasn't now and probably not when you read this, so here are things tat I hope you done
Hope you advanced in your thesis
Hope you became more sure about your identity
Hope you had used your free time
and hope you did something new

Just carry on.

Are you still a mailman?

Did you get better with pixel art?

Pursuant to the above, World of Horror still our love and fave, right?

Last time I said you were doing great. You were! Still are, I hope. Yet if you still haven't cut off toxic influences in your life, or really just the one (you know who) then we of past and present will have suffered much for very little reason. And for the love of god spare yourself their nurglite plague touch. Just because they don't believe in vaccines doesn't mean you should have to pay the toll. And keep up your language practices. NEVER SLIP A DAY OF ART CLASS. My Lord, you're making progress - don't falter! 2021 sends their regards!!!

[heydude6]
