A letter from April 11th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, You're at the cottage in isolation with Zoya right now. Global pandemic? Investments up $553 from your initial $5000. Dad has type 2 diabetes. You just buzzed your head and fixed your beard. Still got those? You doing yoga regularly? Lost 20 pounds? Vaping still? Vype, juul, kushoil weed pen. Drinking tea? Cooking and cleaning? You're about to play Scrabble. Still with Steven? Bought another property? Live in Hamilton? Still a realtor? You made 50k in the first quarter of 2020. Still at Keller Williams? Driving a Hyundai Sonata? You've been thinking about becoming vegetarian. You sleep with your CPAP. Have you traveled back to Europe? Any new continents? Nina and Brodie had their baby on April 9, 2020. Do you still do drugs? Do you have kids? Fostering yet? That was your goal by 30. Is the plant from Nina's baby shower still alive? Nixon and Sam still around? Zoya still friends? You're going to buy the OnePlus 8 Pro in a few days. What's going on with The ASE Foundation? Colin and Emily together, he hasn't proposed yet. Stefan and Marty together? They sent you a list of needs for their house. Did that happen? Zoya wrote down 7 things she learned: some people use cloth sensitive sponges, she and I are perfect Scrabble buddies, edibles just aren't for her, you can survive cutting your own bangs, making your own mayo is worth it, the short-term energy to overcome narcissism isn't worth the long-term benefits, USB C is the future. Still know Ben Rispin, JJ the meth guy, Jon Serpan? Yervant, Aaron? Maddy, Brooke, Rosa, Christina? Kevin Marchand? Aimee and Kyle together? Help them sell and buy? Did you stop dreaming about Martin? Have you ever seen Spencer again? Got your Greek passport? Lived in Europe? Did you go on that one way ticket to Edmonton I'm September 2020? Zoya beat you at Scrabble. Now you're outside smoking, still smoke? Cottage reno finished? There's so much more going on in your life you can't write it down. Who came after Trudeau? Who came after Trump? Is the States different? Basic income for everyone anywhere yet? Did you do anything with Tucker? Ben Lootens? Sal Lizzi? Stevens mom and brother okay? She had just gotten out of hospital with a blood clot in her neck. 5 years seems forever ago, and seems forever in the future. You're completely different than you were 5 years ago in 2015. The world was too. What's it like now? Nana still alive? What happened to her and uncle John and Mike suing the family? You're going to do acid with Zoya tomorrow and are planning for a bonfire. Watched the rest of the Sopranos? How was Grey's anatomy? RuPaul's drag race still a thing? You haven't finished adventure time yet, how was the finale? Blood clot happen again? What's your net worth? Right now you haven't refinanced and are waiting on the permit for the building to do electrical work. Friends with Lauren? She dating a woman? High now. Talking to Zoyas friend on FaceTime. She just said the US gov is pulling 450 mil in WHO funding. This will essentially confirm his re-election, because Biden can't win against that ploy that he's actually going to bring that money back home but we all know they won't. Bill and Melinda Gates is second biggest donor (then Sweden), and they've been accused of "owning" the WHO because of how much of their funding is from them. So they may even have to donate less. Billionaires can't be the only donors to a world health organization. This is kind of scary stuff. Bernie just kind of dropped out of the race too. The world is ******.
