A letter from Jul 26, 2023

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, Heyyyy so kinda bad timing when you wrote the last letter, I ended up opening it in Italy…so I kinda forgot to respond until now,, doubt you would’ve predicted that you would be on the other side of the world 😝😝 Right now I am at work at Ruth’s Chris waiting for my shift to be over. I know, you’re working at a resturant that ISNT Stoney… weird right?? And tomorrow, I’m coming right back in. Honestly, that sounds depressing but in actuality, I kinda oddly love it?? So far, summer has been pretty great!! You ended up staying in Kennesaw and you are having the time of your life!!! I am still living with Lydia and Natalie and currently doing another year at West. Not your favorite but hey, it is what it is, hopefully I get to live in a house my senior year. Right now I am dating the best man in the world,, and I wouldn't change a thing. I thought that if love and dating was like how it was with Brady, well, I’m not having any part of it. Luckily, Cole has proven me wrong. I just got back from a trip to Helen with him earlier today actually. I had a lot of fun. This is odd, normally I have a lot of things to say about my life and worries but right now, I don’t really have any so I guess I’ll just ask questions that I hope I can answer next year… 1) Any closer to finding out what you want to do? 2) Is flight attending still an option (something you still want to pursue?) 3) do you stay at west another year or are u gonna rent a house? 4) Still have the same roommates? 5) how was the new roommate situation? 6) Travel anywhere new? 7) any new big life developments? 8) Ok who else from hs got married/engaged?? Anyone from my grade?? 9) Hopefully I’m still friends/make new friends this year?? 10) Did you live the past year with your heart? I love you future Julie, I know life has been a bit hectic this past of months, but I know you will always figure it out 💖💖💖 Sending lots of love 💕💕💕 Past Julie :)
