A letter from January 1st, 2021

Dear future Christin, Today is your birthday, congratulations! If I'm correct, your birthday falls on a Sunday and you've probably decided to go out this time instead of staying in. Holy moly you're 18. Whew, chile. Right now I am only 17 years old. Today is the first day of 2021. I am really curious as to what is in store for this year. I believe that 2021 is going to be way more chaotic than 2020. Hopefully we're not in some crazy dystopian by this time but even if we are, that's fine. For some reason I have a really weird fetish for dystopias. Who knows. But anyways, are you still doing music? Well obviously you are. Actually I just remembered, you're a college student! Wow. Here I am haven't even graduated high school yet. Even though I'm graduating in May, I never thought I'd get to that point of being a college student. But then again, who knows what the future has in store. If you're actually able to read this letter, the only thing that I'm certain of is that you've turned 18 years old today. You're practically a young adult now. Well, technically the legal drinking age is 21, but you get my point. How's mom and the family doing? Is everyone alright? I know by this time My Hero Academia Season 5 came out, so was it good? Also, did Attack on Titan end? And was that good too? These two are currently my favorite shows. If you really went to Loyola and you're staying there, what's your roommate like if you have one? Is she nice? Hopefully she's not bossy, or doesn't like fan noises at night. Well, who cares about that anyway. What kind of friends do you have? Are you ready for 2022? Sheesh, right about now 2022 kind feels like a fever dream. Also, I've been looking forward to it for a while, but how was the olympics? Could they even have an olympics this year? Is COVID-19 still a thing? Or did its variant take over the world? Are people still social distancing? Whatever. You're probably thinking that wow past me is asking so many questions. Well you can't blame me, there's a lot that I have to look forward to this year. Right now I'm sitting in our favorite room on this super-sized broken bed on the right side of the hall in our 2336 Madrid Street home. Mom is in the other room watching some Tv show reels on her phone. Next to me is a jar of pickles that I think I'm finished with. Are you still on Wattpad? For now I'm updating a book called Invasion X regularly. I should probably change the title of that book at some point. I'm wearing one of the pink sweaters that you bought with the NOCCA basketball shorts. My left eye has seriously been bothering me these past days. Hopefully it's normal by your time. Liam had just came to visit a few minutes ago. He's still super cute! I still have braces in, I forgot what color and I'm too lazy to look. My hair is in braids and I still wear glasses. I'm assuming you didn't go through some kind of existential crisis and you've stopped wearing glasses. If so, then that's really unlike you. But heck, I don't know what kind of person you are. I'm literally assuming that you've changed somehow. And if not, then that's perfect still. I don't know if I'll make it to college but gosh am I curious what college is like. Obviously there's the exams and the tests and the study work. But what about extracurriculars? Do you have a job? And if so, do you like it? You probably don't listen to Kpop anymore. Heck, I don't blame you. The only group I'm pretty much keeping up with still right now is Twice, and maybe a little Blackpink. I've mostly moved on to Indie rock music. My favorite songs right now are Read Receipts by Maxime, Shakespeare by Troi Irons, and maybe Bad Things by Cults. Are you still into anime? Probably not. You've probably moved on to something else like you usually do. But then again, I was into Kpop for about 4 years now. So it'll probably take me a while to get out of anime. I wonder what you're like. I wonder what 2021 has been like. I'm sure there's been ups and downs at some points. I mean, an entire year is never just pristine. There's always those days of hurt and pain. I hope you're strong enough to get through them. I hope you've been praying hard to YAHUAH every single day, reading well and keeping the Sabbath. I hope you're stronger in spirit and stubborn in HIS word. I hope you're doing what you want to do. Don't force yourself into something lame simply because of certain circumstances. You WOULD do something like that. Just let ABBA YAH guide you and do what you like so that you can be happy. Right now, I've already received my acceptance letter from Loyola and I'm planning to go there this year. I should've been in by August but who knows what kind of world this is going to be by that time? 2020 was a stressful year for me. As it is currently January 1st, I hope that this following year won't be so bad. Hopefully you don't embarrass yourself too much. Hopefully, you've gotten better at playing the piano and music in general, and you've found yourself a nice group of friends and feel comfortable with them. Pertaining to your love life which I assume and hope is non-existent, make sure you've found someone who is just as in love with YAHUAH and YAHUSHA and Israel just as much as you are, so you don't have to be stressed out about anything. Make sure you've lived without regrets. Remove any selfish pride, and just do what you need to do. And also, exams are probably over by this time I have no idea, but if you need to, GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND STUDY. Hopefully you don't still suck at math by this time. And even if you do, that's fine. The fact that you're reading this letter means that you've survived without being good at math. I'm proud of you, Christin, whoever you are in the future. Just keep your head up and stay praying, and I'll do the same. Sinccerly, (I forgot how to spell sincerly and I'm too lazy to look it up so ignore this please) The Christin from January 1st, 2021
