A letter from April 16th, 2020

Time Travelled — over 5 years

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, I'm writing this to you on April 16th, 2020. The corona virus is a thing happening right now. It is affecting and ******* lots of people. Donald Trump is also our president. I'm not very political, so I wont talk about that too much. We've just been bored just doing work at home. Occasionally, we got out to run errands but we all stay in the car and one parent goes out. We have to be quarantined for about 5 weeks now. I think I'd like to be at school right now because its easier to learn and understand the information when someone that knows what their doing is teaching you. I've been gaining weight and now I am almost at 200lbs... It's pretty sad. I hope that when I read this I have my dream body, or close enough. Hopefully, by the time I'm reading this I know what I'm doing with my life. Throughout my life around my junior year I have been struggling with what I am going to do. I also haven't had a job yet, so I am very nervous about that. I have very many hopes and dreams for my future self (5 years or more) but I will just say the most important ones. Firstly, I hope that I am happy, healthy, and stable. Next, I hope I have found someone that I care about and that cares about me just as much. Lastly, I hope I have figured out what is going on in my life because right now I am struggling which is making me very worried. All the extra things include going to a concert for the first time, getting my dream body, and pretty much anything that has to do with K-pop. I am very obsessed with being a K-pop idol but I wish that I have everything sorted out and that I'm thinking of more realistic things. I also expect to have found myself and everything that I am interested in because I don't feel like I know who I am in a sense of my interests and "realistic" dreams. I have some tips and advice to give now. Firstly, I hope that you don't let peoples opinions get to you, positive or not. You are who you are and nothing or no one can change that. I hope that you are happy with the way you are because I am (or will be at least ). Next, I hope that you keep in touch with your family because they are important and essential to your life. Even though sometimes people may seem to go against you about your dreams and desires, don't let that hang on to you and weigh you down. People have their opinions about what's right, but sometimes they only do it out of love or personal experience. That isn't always the case though. Sometimes they do because of the fear they have if things don't go the way its planned. Overall, I hope your are your happy, amazing, beautiful self. I hope you have as much confidence as I wish I did. If people give you compliments, let them. If people have a different opinion than you, let them. Don't let peoples views get in the way of yours. You are your own person, so DO YOU BOO BOO(something mom would say)!!! Love you to the moon and back <3
