Future-Tense

adj.
sensing the judgment of your future self looking over your shoulder—chuckling at your well-laid plans or clutching their pearls at the risky move you’re about to make—which leaves you faintly wary of their opinion, even though you know they’d take your place in a heartbeat.

From future (the grammatical tense) + tense.
