A letter from April 17th, 2020

Dear FutureMe,

You've finally figured out what you want in a relationship - not something like a girlfriend or a boyfriend, but you just want to casually date people. I hope that by the time you're reading this, you've either come to accept that this is a valid thing, or you've matured emotionally and are ready for a relationship. Currently, you're talking to somebody from Dumont, but I doubt that it'll last just because these things don't tend to last for us, but that's okay.

Anyway, let's not talk about relationships. Right now, you're doing really well in your friendships, and I'm really proud of us for that. I recently joined Discord and am connecting with so many people from D3 and making new friends in different clubs. Talking to people is really fun.

You're getting better at listening to people and at being inclusive / non judge-y, so I hope that we can keep being like that. I hope that we continue to learn more about the world and talk to more people about the different thoughts coursing through our mind while also stopping to listen to them. Damn, this probably sounds so pretentious and shit so I'm so sorry for the cringe that you're probably feeling around now. I just really like talking to new and different people, and I can't figure out why.

Around now, you're probably preparing for finals, so I hope that that's going well and that you are stopping to give yourself mental breaks. How is it being an RA? That is if Corona didn't put those plans on hold. Speaking of, I'm really scared that Ti and I's Europe trip is going to be canceled. I really want to go to England to see Connor, man. How is he? Please tell me that you two are still friends. Please tell me that even if you lost touch or distanced yourself from your old friends, that you're happy with the friends that you have now.

I really hope that we're happy, wherever we are in our lives.

Love you long time,
Alex 2020
