Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, okaaay. Becky sent this future me thing to me, while I was in the middle of watching Grey's Anatomy... Are you still friends with her? Did you ever officially "unfriend" Lacey? Draaamaaa. Well, now that I'm writing it out, it doesn't seem to matter to you- so I think I'll unfriend her tomorrow. Well, last week was my first day leading worship. It was good. I know that that is the correct path for me. I was facetiming Becky, and I told her my 10 year plan.... By 20 graduate junior college, transfer to GCU or some other college... No guy, no dates. 22-24 is when I'll start dating. And 27 hopefully is the magical number for marriage. (As long as it's before 30.) I've always wanted to marry early, but then I thought, as I know God is creating me EVERYDAY to be paired with someone, that someone is also going through the same process- and well, that begs the question, how long does it take to make a man? He should graduate by 17, enlist in the military and graduate by 23, graduate regular college by 27- and bam. I'm 25, and I'm dating a military man with a degree. I got all this idea from Owen (military man) from Grey's Anatomy, he's the first guy on the show I thought was "hot." The first guy in any show I thought was hot. I do like my men in uniforms. Anyhow, this definitely sounds like a letter from a 17 year old, because that's how old I am. I always thought I had missed out on everything, but it turns out I'm doing just fine. Even if I never get to go full-on shoe shopping, hang out in the mall, or grab coffee with a friend- I'm still normal. I'm trying to start a blog. Okay I'm going to be honest, it's 2:50am, and I don't feel like writing this. I just want to continue watching my show, which I've already named twice. Hey, I hope you learned to love yourself. Give yourself a break, make a cup of tea. I love you. By the time you receive this, your mystery man is 24, and out of the military. Possibly roaming around YOUR college. Take your time, scope some guys out. And smile. Don't chase em' off. Open yourself up, because God you can be sooo closed off. My favorite book of the Bible is Ecclesiastes, I still love psalm 37:4. Go on a date or something. Move out if you havent- oh God I hope you've moved out. Tell your mom you love her. Text your dad a selfie or something. Tell him 5 years ago you told yourself you would. Idk. Are you still playing toontown? What about your friends Melissa (Roxy) andSolomonn Roaeheart (Alan) ?? He's gonna be in his mid 30's now, LOL. And she'll be 30! You? You're a baby. You have all the time in the world. How was psychology class? Is it life-changing? What sort of careers are you looking into? I love theology and psychology, although I haven't researched any of them, lol. Still taking any photos and "capturing history"? Bye. Seeya in 5 years. Hey! Look in a mirror. It will be like our cool time-loop ending. Wait, I'm gonna look into a mirror too. It's pitch black in my room, but I'll look anyways. Bye. Actually no, I'm not looking coz I want to watch my show. Bye bye. But, you better- and I know you will, bc well, you're me. And I will. I'm not stubborn. Tell your roommates I say hi. 5/21/20
