A letter from November 25th, 2012

Dear FutureMe, Happy 19th Birthday! You're incredibly happy right now, at this young age of 15. Things have been tough lately, but I always end up on top. I hope that you find even more happiness as the years pass. Yes, things are hard, people aren't always who you make them out to be, but guess what? You are absolutely and positively wonderful, no matter what anyone says. Hopefully, you've made it into UCLA. That's one of my goals, because everyone says I can't. So I will. And I hope you have. Throughout life's hardships, remember this: No one can change who you are, except you. Once you hit bottom, you can only go up. Stay strong, young buck. Your time will come.
