A letter from March 20th, 2023

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, You just had your 23rd birthday. I hope this reaches you in a better headspace. I hope you’re out of the military, and in a place you want to be. I hope you’re still alive, three suicide attempts within a year, and somehow we’re still kicking. Did you learn to make it on your own? Are you still close with Jada, or did that fizzle out. Is she doing well? **** I can’t even think of things to write that don’t involve her. She’s going to be great. **** you I don’t have to write you ****. I don’t even know if you’ll receive this you depressed sack of ****. 6 more months of ********? A year more? Who the **** are we hanging on for, what are we living for?

Dear PastMe,

I’m sorry for the late reply, I think at the time I didn’t know how to tell you that...
