To Future-Me, From Me-of-the-Past

FutureMe.org is a neat little website which offers to forward emails to whoever you want at a time in the future. From the site:

here's the story:
two fellas started this so that you could write yourself a letter to be delivered at a later date. we've all had to do them in high school and college. it's sorta cool to receive a letter from yourself about where you thought you'd be a year (two years? more?) later. FutureMe.org is based on the principle that memories are less accurate than emails. we strive for accuracy.
I left myself a message over a year ago, to get to me a decade from now, with the sentiments that I hope I'm still alive and that I still understand that everything is pointless. Why not send yourself a similar email, warning the future-you, that you're going to be disappointed if you've started believing in god? And if we're lucky, we'll all be around to receive them.
