A letter from May 8th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, Hi, how are you? That’s a genuine question, because most of the time it’s answered by a simple, “I’m fine, thanks,” or “I’m good, how are you?” But there’s always something on your mind, right? Anyway, I’m here to tell you a few things, and maybe ask you a few things myself (yourself). I am writing this letter to you (me) at 11:48 on May 7th, 2020. The AP for Gov is in four days, and I (you), only started studying yesterday. Not to mention, everyone has been in quarantine since March and it’s not… amazing. Woah. I wonder how much the world has changed since corona. If I had to tell you anything about myself right now, I guess it would be that I’m having some “issues.” I’m not sure how long they’ve been here or how long they’re going to last. Maybe you’re still dealing with them right now? Well, if you are, I hope it’s not too bad. Hopefully you have them under control. They’ve become pretty much the only thing that I think about, and for the most part, replace the things (well, thing, if you know what I’m referencing) that make me sad. I guess my current “issues” are a coping mechanism. Are they still a coping mechanism? Maybe you've completely moved on and you're just cringing at this entire thing because it's so dramatic. I see that happening lol. OMG DID TRUMP WIN THE ELECTION? I HOPE TO GOD NO. And omg I really hope someone is doing something about climate change. That **** stresses me tf out. In the future, well, the present for you, I hope you’re sure of your path in life. Right now I’m a little confused and kinda just going with a practical option (PA), even though it may not be my favorite option at the moment. Did you take a leap of faith and quit PA school? It’s okay if you haven’t. You can find inspiration in PA. I’m sure of it. I hope you’ll understand not to put too much pressure on yourself. Right now, I’m scared that I’m going to be super stressed about PA school sctricly because I want to be the “smartest.” I hope you don’t feel the pressure to be that way. That would really suck. Also, I hope you finally understand how to be happy and content without help from anyone else. I’m not sure how that’s accomplished but I guess I’ll find out? Maybe? I hope you’ll be able to answer these questions and I hope they don’t make you too sad lol. Carry on with your day! P.S. If there’s something holding you back from doing something you’re afraid of, take a risk for once and do something about it!!!!
