A letter from May 20th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, I'm going to graduate on June 6th! Crazy right? I'm about to close the easiest chapter of my life, time for the real world! Anyways, I hope you are thriving in the Air Force right now, having all the fun in the world, and making so many friends. I know that it was probably a long process to get you in because of COVID-19 but I'm sure it would so all be worth it, everything happens for a reason. I hope basic training wasn't so hard like you worried it would be. I knew you could do it because you're hella strong mentally and physically. OH you're probably really in shape now like you always wished, good job! I'm so proud of you! I wonder what job you ended up picking, I'm sure whatever is it you'll love it because you aren't that dumb xD You probably have already traveled the world some, how was it? Was it as awesome as you dreamed it would be? Have you been to Japan or Italy yet? You're 23 now, OMG you can legally buy alcohol, wow! Adulting probably has been hard huh? Well maybe not so bad because you took the greatest opportunity which served your county. You took the best first step in your life after high school. Have you gotten a camera yet? If so you better have taken incredible pictures, you have the eye for it. How's Nancy? Is she still your ride or die? Do y'all still stay in touch? I hope so because she's your best friend. How about Vance? Are y'all still together? Is he still showering you in love and gifts? He's such an awesome crazy ginger and I hope you guys are still inseparable, don't let the distance ruin y'all's relationship. I'm so excited to see how much you've grown and accomplished, the world has always been yours. You never stopped fighting to be successful, well FutureMe you really did it! Continue to do great things, I love you so much and I wish you the best in the world. - Sincerely, your 18-year-old self
