Time Travelled — over 6 years

A letter from February 1st, 2018

Peaceful right?

Im scared. So scared that my life will end up leading to nothing. I am only 14 but I feel that I have missed so many opportunities, so future me have got an interesting life now? I feel like my life will continue day in and day out with nothing, I want an adventure! Road trip across America, backpacking across Eroupe I want it. I feel like I can't make my life interesting I am only a 14 years old I can't drive, I am not a legal adult, and I can't drink. This letter should get sent to me on my 21 birthday, and girl get drunk and party because you are a fun person don't hide it inside. I keep waiting for these milestones to happen, but I think when they happened I am just going to be waiting for the next one and the next one. I will be stuck in this circle for the rest of my life. Have kids because everyone else thinks they are cute, get a stupid job in an office and hate my job. Maybe I am just sacred of my future, I am scared to have to pick a vocation for the rest of my life. I want to be a filmmaker, but what if I suck, what if I can't do it? I think deep down inside I have always known I want to do something with cameras, i had my first camera at like 6 and for some reason I never tried again . I always get sad when I see people doing something i want to but can't, being in musicals, getting As in math when I am barley pulling a C. I am not sure if this later is suppose to make me happy when I read this because I got y dream job and went on an adventure or make me sad because I jut took a step back and let society tell me what my life should be. If you haven't done anything yet Just do it girl ;)

This could have been taken almost verbatim from my diary when I was around that age. Good news is: Life does get better once you're older! And it does get more interesting, but boy does it get complicated and hard and frustrating and beautiful and insane. The funny thing is that the milestones, once you reach them, dont even feel all that important anymore.
I hope you had a huge birthday party and I hope you went into the film business.
All the best!
