Epilogue

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, I'm sixteen and i just finished my first year in french high school. It was...a pretty strange year, but i don't really think i regret a thing. I'm too young to think about regret. I know you can easily forget it : but do what you love. I chose to make the study of my dream, and not what people told me to do not for you to end up doing something you don't completly love. Anyway, i do believe you can do that for me. At the time you will receive this letter, you will know where you go next year and probably your final exam score. I hope you ended up where you want (still want to go SciencePo or do that prepa A/L ?) And i hope you did great at your exams, if you don't : it's not a big deal. How's the family ? Does our brother is finally an engineer or something ? Does Laurene is calmer than now ? I hope Dad and Mom are doing well. You know, parents, they're getting old too fast. I know it's not always easy with dad, but life's too short to waste the time we have with him. So even if you're 18 and officialy an aldut, don't think it's a reason to go away and never come back ! (Well, you can go away...i always wanted to live in Rennes, Paris or Lyon. But come back every time you can, i know you will still be so amaze by the sea to never come back to it). And the cat ?? Is Aster still so funny and adorable ? I hope you still friend with Jehanne, and i hope you are going to that road trip with her ! She's like a sister to us. If you don't talk to her anymore, please give her a call. She's so important. Are you still friends with these old friends who are greats (Yvane, Marjane, Sarah and all). I also hope you met other people, cause it's great. I won't be angry with you if you now have another band of friends. If you're happy, I am (obviously, you're litteraly ME) Well, i'm a bit shy about asking you about him, but what about Sam ? You're still with him ? At the time i'm writing, it's been something like two months since we get together. He's great, a bit weird but i think i like him for that. I think he loves me too, I think he tries to tell me. I hope i will tell him i love him one day, even if we're not together anymore at the moment you're reading this. Life is trash, huh ? It's been trash and i know it will still be trash later. But i think I, you, should remember that at the end of the day it worths it. Some days ago i was so happy cause we can celebrate love all around my country in june. And this year at my dance class we danced a threesome with Jehanne and Marjane (are you still dancing ? I think you do, you love it so), and i've been to my first show. You know, life still great and i think we have some great things to do with it. Can you drive a car ?? Cause i'm so bad at it, hope dad's proud and you can drive him to the sea ! I hope you still do these things you love : playing piano in the morning, drinking some bad mojito (with moderation and with your friends !), swimming in the sea in may, watching an impossible amount of movies...Honestly, i just hope you're the happiest version of yourself. You worth it. Well, i think i told you everything. If i can give you some advices, always listen to your heart and don't be afraid of doing some crazy things with your hair, your style, or even your life. It won't matter in 20 years, or maybe it will... I kiss your ***, and i wish you the very best adult's life.
