A letter from May 22, 2026

Dear FutureMe, Happy 17th birthday Unc. You’re getting old ash lol. How’s life been? I know I’m writing this pretty late so it’ll only be like 3 months but like still. A lot can happen in 3 months. Especially over the summer yk. I hope we’re still losing weight. Currently I’m like 185 lbs so hopefully we dropped atleast 10 lbs. that’s not too much, it’s manageable. I hope you got the gym membership by now. I really wanna be skinnier. Everyone always has it easier when they’re skinnier so we gotta lock in. Do you have a bf yet? I know I ask every year but it doesn’t hurt I suppose. If we do, I hope it’s Eric. I really like him. Did we hang out over the summer?? I hope you did. You might have a chance I hope you took it. And don’t be no ***** either. Ask him out. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. Lock in twin you got that. Also that goes for a lot of other stuff. Glow up before school, wear your hair down please for the love of god. I know it’s scary, but in the end it’ll be a lot better. I promise. You better be driving by now. If not we’re running that fade Rs. Who you hanging out with rn? Like who’s your main group. Rn it’s still Jess, Tristan, gio and all them from school. I know you probably won’t talk to a lot of them like you used to in junior year and with summer yk. But js be chill. You’re going into senior year so don’t do anything else but make memories and work on your music. Speaking of that we’re also running that fade if you haven’t started anything with music yet I ain’t playing. How’s uncle rob? As of right now he’s not doing too hot. I hope he’s doing better. You and dad getting along good? I hope so, yk he can be a **** sometimes but you got one more year dw. How was Minnesota? I can’t wait to go, I miss my home girl badly. I hope it was fun and you had a blast with Jada. And how was New York? Hopefully we got snatched during that trip before Minnesota lol. Aye and I know you’re stressed about what to do after highschool, if you’re still thinking like I am now, you probably don’t wanna do paramedic that much right? Don’t stress dude just relax and don’t let it overwhelm you. I know my faith right now isn’t too good, and idk how it will be when you’re reading this but put you’re faith and trust in god regardless. He’s got a plan. I still have to tell myself that sometimes when I get too ahead of myself. Lately I’ve been forgetting to though, so I hope you’re improving or have improved on that part. Got any concert plans? I still kinda want to go to that one in Texas. Louder than life I think. It sounds dope as hell. How’s your jobs. You able to keep yourself afloat with your insurance and gas etc etc? I’d assume you are unless you had some freak accident or something lmao. Keep working on that twin. And don’t be jealous when others have it easier than you. Grit your teeth and work harder, eventually you’ll get everything you desire in life I promise. We just need to wait. And I know it’s hard not to feel that way I struggle with it everyday but I’m saying this so if you’re feeling unmotivated or anything in anyway just read this and remember the harder you work the more you’ll appreciate it. Don’t let nothing get under your skin. You got that I believe in you twin. Anyways I think that’s all I got for you dawg. I hope all is well, and senior year treats you well. I love you homie, good luck. Enjoy your final year and don’t take a single day, friendship, memory or anything at all for granted. Peace out twin, happy birthday.
