A letter from May 28th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, I hope you are in college right now and studying photography, if not I am still very proud of you, I do hope you the best and hope you remember, when your in tough times god is there with you whether that is with friends, family or school, or work. I just want to remind you that God did not put you on this world for it to be easy neither did he put you on this earth for you to give up, you will face hard challenges but that is ok you will get through them as long as you work your best and use all of your effort, trust me just use all of your effort and try your best and you will succeed! Although this may bug you to hear, but you know its true, be nice to your family and siblings because no matter how mean they are to you or how annoying they may be, at the end of the day family is all you have left. Oh boy now lets talk about your parents, they are aging as you age, so by the time your out of college and have a family and a husband and kids to take care of and feed, never forget the mom who brought you into this world, respect her for every chance you may because once shes gone you wont be able to make more fun memories with her, you never know when there time for life on earth is over. And for your dad you just got to love him for hs awesome cooking and for always being there when you need him. Overall Future me, I just want you to know tomorrow is never promised! So treat everyday like your last. Also remember you are loved and cared for no matter the situation! Hope you have a great future, with fulfilling adventure ahead of you! - Sincerely, your 12 ½ year old self (Kenzie Bouma)
