A letter from Aug 09, 2022

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, It’s the night before you start Freshman Year of High school tomorrow!! Crazy that we really made it this far, and at this current moment you’re 14 years old. We went to that bad bunny concert and you had the time of your life, you still like him right? I know you’ll only read this a year from now but a lot can change throughout a school year and you know that best lmao. It’s pretty nerve racking tho because rn I’m scared of being lost finding my class or like not being able to make friends because we have that one class with all sophomores. Anyways let’s talk about goals I hope we fulfilled by the end of the year 💀 - Did you finally get a boyfriend? (Is he hot? He prolly is I mean we’re dating him LMAOAOAO) - Are you still friends with everybody or is it how they say we lose tons of old friends? - Did you finally get your first kiss bc ur a loser and never had one prior to me writing this - Are you still friends with Christine? And were u ever able to contact Dylan, what even happened to him? - Who are your new friends? - Are our grades still good? They better be bc I didn’t work my *** off for nothing - Did you finish the book u were writing? - What concerts did you go to? - How many countries did you visit with mom? Did we go to Korea for her to try all the food she saw in Kdramas? - How many tiktok and IG followers do you have? Anyways that’s all the questions I can think of right now, I’m sure you’re gonna add in whatever else I would’ve liked to know. I feel like there’s so much to talk about but I really don’t know what to ask. But I really hope we had a good freshman year, and don’t forget to write another one of these for the beginning of Sophomore year! Love you future self even tho I’m prolly gonna wanna ****** you for not making better choices even technically it’s me not making the better choices but let’s not discuss that. See you May 25th, 2023

Dear PastMe,

It’s currently June 22nd, 2024 and we’re 16 years old. I may have totally forgotten about writing one of these letters, but that’s alright because I’ll give you...
