Hi future Julia, I've already written this letter but my browser crashed and took it with them. So I had to take a couple of minutes to calm down, but here I am. First of all, happy birthday! I'm 16 right now, and I cant imagine being 21!!! years old! I kind of feel like I'd be dead by then, but obviously you are reading this. Or maybe someone who knows your password. How's life? I hope you are well. I truly do. I hope you like your body and your mind and your friends and your jobs and whatever place you live in. Honestly, if you don't live in Berlin, London or New York City right now, I am disappointed. But what's much more important are the people in your life. As of now, Cecil has moved to Chile a few weeks ago, Celina is starting her apprenticeship this summer, Mette is living in Krumbach and Marie is doing an exchange to La Réunion right when I'm going to the US. We recently talked about being so happy to leave Germany and all the people in my class; there is literally nothing holding us back here. But if I think about the future, I already miss my friends terribly. I am still sad about the ending of mine and Marco's friendship, probably because I never got closure. He has a girlfriend now, Annika. Moritz is still a piece of ******* **** for ******** harassing me and knowing no boundaries while calling that a friendship. Please remember to not let people walk all over you. But I know that in retrospective, none of the people I'm in school with really matter; I'll probably have forgotten their names when reading this. Tell me, are you a journalist, or a musician? Are you happy? Truly? Do you have a cool roommate? Have you looked through your old diary, the one I'm writing right now? If you're reading this: I'm so proud of you for graduating, for surviving. And I'm sorry that you probably still have your insecurities from your adolescence. That's my fault, I suppose. I'm off to babysitting Vally now, I wish you (me) the best and hope you have a blast in life, go to lots of parties and connect with people. Whatever you're going through, it's going to be okay. It really is. -Julia
