Time Travelled — over 3 years

Hopefully this website doesn't shut down and decide to send all emails ahead of schedule because that would be catastrophic

Peaceful right?

Dear Very Future Brandon, I think it's far enough into the future that I can be completely honest about my thoughts. And I didn't ask you to do this emailing to the future thing with me in order to give me the chance to say everything I think, but then I realized it would be the perfect opportunity. Because 3 years into the future it will seem insignificant, and I'm not sure you'll even remember me (although that does seem pretty quick to forget someone.) So hopefully when you read this it'll just come across as a sweet, awkward story from a close friend from high school and nothing worse. Basically this is just a classic story of a small crush and bad timing. At Jeffrey's party I realized I was into you and your positive and funny nature, but I'm already in a situation with another guy. After Cam and I broke up I was a little lost and then this whole thing was sort of put on me and now we're going to prom together. I do like the other guy, but a significant part of me wishes I could've asked you to prom. And hopefully in this hypothetical situation you would've said yes. He's a nice dude, but there's something very different about being around you, always cheerful and just generally an uplifting presence. We've become such good friends so quickly and I love that. Honestly, I just have so much friend love for you. I guess I've settled on not telling you anything about all of this and not attempting to pursue you whatsoever before we leave for college because we only have 4.5-ish months left and it just doesn't make sense. But I've been known to be extremely fickle, so who knows what I actually decide to do. I think writing this email serves as a deterrent though because if I were to try something and embarrass myself immensely receiving this email would probably just be a very uncomfortable experience for you. I'm still deciding whether or not to actually send this because it seems a little silly and trivial. I could just delete it and send something completely different and you'd never know, but that seems dishonest. So I won't read it over and overthink it and instead I'll just send it to you with the intention of thanking you for being such a good friend and finally giving me positive memories of senior year. I saw you yesterday night but I'm sure when you receive this I'll be missing you. Hannah
