A letter from May 19th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, Hey jenna. this is you 5 years previous. you’re at a dead end relationship and your friend is moving to california. you’re going through a lot of hurt right now. but this is proof positive that it gets better, right? not exactly. you’re gonna continue to get hurt. you’re gonna go through a lot because that’s what makes you stronger and builds your wonderful character. hopefully you’ll find a better relationship and learn to love yourself, because you deserve happiness. as pessimistic as you are, you still hold out hope. never change that part about you you made it to college. i’m so proud of you right now. regardless of what choice you made in your major or college, I know you made the right one. you’re also finishing up college right now, which means you’ll be joining the working force soon. wherever life decides to throw at you or take you you’ll be ready for it. just make sure you know it’s what you want for yourself and that you’ll be happy right where you are. just remember... 1: never take life for granted. live. seize the day. because when you look back, you’ll realize you didn’t get to experience what you wanted to and regret it. so screw it and take that trip to europe. you deserve it after your hard work. 2: don’t push yourself too far. take time for yourself and BREATHE. you know you’ll need it in 5 years if you can barely breathe right now. 3: don’t care about what people think. people who are hurt turn that into aggression towards others, but you know that. be yourself and if that’s not enough then they’re not worth it to pursue. if they didn’t deserve you then, they definitely won’t deserve you now.
