A letter from May 16th, 2020

Time Travelled — about 1 year

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, Let’s see where I’m at in a year from now, I don’t mean as to physically but mentally. A year can seem a long time for most but to me it feels like three months. Idk time kinda just flies by with a blink of an eye it’s scary when I think about it. Looking back at pictures from a year ago kind of mess with my perception of time. But I have some questions for you. I’m deciding to send this on my birthday because those tend to be the most depressing days for me due to a pattern of constant misfortune in the past but it’s your birthday you’re turning 22 I’m sure you feel old, me who’s currently 20 feel old for you lol. Anyways. My first question is was I right about the stay at home order being lifted by November or August? I feel like I nailed guess! Second question I hope you’ve started putting together on that cool VW collection and didn’t get too overwhelmed with all the ideas that current me has been trying to sketch out. Third, kind of the tough question but I hope I do me proud of my answer, but are you still seeing him? Were you able to go through with ending things for the sake of your sanity? I really hope you aren’t still seeing him because you’ve given him way too much time and your whole heart just for him to keep stringing you along. As current 2020 me I know I should but I don’t have the strength yet but I hope I’ve found it along through the months. I don’t even know which tense to use present or future lol whatever I get me. But yeah I can’t think of anymore questions rn but make sure to send yourself another one but this time make it 5 years on your 27th birthday. Wow mid twenties. Anyways don’t think about it too much just live bro. Like honestly **** whoever has left you or you leave do what you think is best. 20 year old me is still trying to grasp what this adult world is throwing at me I’m sure turning 22 isn’t an insane difference but idk maybe it is? You tell me.

Epilogue

Wow I had completely forgotten about this, I was really happy and surprised when I saw this email. I obviously wrote this in a hurry because of how sloppy it’s...
