You'll graduate from college and marry an amazing man. He'll "get" you like nobody else does, and you will feel an ease with him that no other relationship has come close to. I know you have harbored fear since you were a teenager that you'd never experience these two things. You can let that go.
You will become a mama. Although it will be the most exhausting, loneliest, most doubt-inducing time of your life, you will grow into yourself in ways I'm not sure were possible had she not become a part of your life.
Keep reading and writing, even though it seems like a dream that's going nowhere. It is who you are. You'll put your writing out there one day, publishing your words in your own little corner of the internet.
You know that quiet voice you sometimes hear inside of you? She's had a difficult time competing with the stuff going on outside of you, but if you give her a chance and listen to what she has to say, she'll grow stronger. She speaks truth and is pointing the way toward life.
You've felt adrift your whole life, not really knowing who you were and always wondering what you'd become. You've longed to understand yourself and feel comfortable inside your own skin, to stop being who you thought you should be and instead be who you are. 35 feels like a long way off, but it'll happen. You'll finally feel like you are uncovering the layers of the real you - your authentic self. And you'll relax into the realization that you like her, she's making more sense, and above all...she is enough.
Lots of Love, Your 35-year-old Self

I hope you are looking forward to discovering as much about yourself in the next 14 years as you have in the last 14 years. And they will go by quicker, if you can believe that.
