Dear FutureMe,
You're 19 now, haha, big girl! It feels weird doesn't it? yeah i felt the same way when I turned 18..I always said I was most comfortable at 15..Back in that middle age between feeling semi-grown up and yet naive to the ways of the world.
You've never really been naive though, have you? Your ploys to be cute realy work well on those around you.
I hope by now though, we've matured a bit more.
Thats always a problem we've been though, y'know? Trying to distinbguish what's real...even within the logic of our own mind. "Me, Myself, I"...it's all kinda vague when you actually sit down and think about it.
You beleive in good...trust me, I of all people know that, but the dark side can't be denied as well.
All I ask of you is that you keep on working towards the betterment of yourself...as I'm doing now ( slowly but surely! )
You gotta try to get along better with Krysta too. You've been yelling at her a lot lately. KT says you sound like your mom...and we both know you don't want that>
God, KT....have you talked to her recently? She's prolly gone away to whatever University it is she said she was going to. Look, I know I don't know the details of your current situation ( whatever it might be )
But you should really make some time to talk to her..I'm sure she's prolly havin' a hard time with exams or whatever and would really like to hear from someone. It's your birthday, so you prolly can't rush up and visit her right now, but make some time later on to pop in for a spell. Surprise her!
Hopefully her and Mac are still going out....Hopefully you've come to grips with your friendship with Mac.
Reality vs. Drama, Hahaha, round...what is it now, 352?
I truely and hoenstly hope you're still with Ryan. We love that boy...guy...man, whatever you wanna refer to him as. You would've been dating him for 4 years at this point...Jeeeeesus, Christ, thats a long time.
Don't get frustrated with him though and don't forget all the wonderful little things you love about him.
Remember all the things that happened so long ago that made you fall head over heels with him...
"Beautiful? Beutiful...Beautiful? etc.."
Remember how he spins you at every dance?
Remember how he played with that cat that lives by his house?
Remember how you'd dream about his death and wake up crying?
Remember how good of a person he truely is?
If he's dead right now or you've parted ways ( god forbid ) Then cry and cry and cry and cry and cry...you have my full permission, cause I'd do the same. You have my sincere comfort...and you're probably damning yourself with "Oh, i didn't appreciate him...I was jealous..blah blah blah"
You know in your heart you were good to him and that you loved each other. Never forget that.
Oh yeah, the entire point of me writing this whole damned e-mail.....DON'T DRINK TOO MUCH!
Take care of yourself, Kid
