A letter from November 23rd, 2018

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, I hope you are doing well. In case you do not remember. Today was Susan McFerran's funeral. 23/11/2018. At this time I am feeling quite sick, tired and just generally sad. Just to remind you, you are an amazing, independant person. You are beautiful in every way and more people care for you than you know. Right, now that all the cheesy stuff is out of the way go get yourself a pen and paper. No don't read the rest of the email first, just go do it. If you have got it now continue reading. Write down each of the questions and answer them honestly. How are you? What have you achieved since I wrote this email? What news do you have? How's school going? What are your goals for the future? Are you still interested in studytee, Sarah Betts, Alisha Marie and Reacticorns? What do you love doing? If you have carried on with your diary stick this into the back and make it look nice. Write another email to yourself and ask about what's important. I love you and many other people do too. Work hard, Be kind, Find balance.
