A letter from June 5th, 2020

Hey Naz, What's up? How's life going? This is you as a junior in highschool and I just wanted to say I'm proud of you. I've certainly done a lot in these past 3 years but I can't even imagine how much you've done in college. All I'm certain of is that you're gonna help so many people and create such a difference. I love you so much for that; there's not that many people who choose to go in the path you're choosing to go in. I know it was a hell of a lot work and you probably despised every minute of it. But just remember how much everything you're doing is worth okay? Anyways, let's not talk about school; let's talk about other things. Right now your best friends consist of Jenny, Kylie, and Karl weirdly. You love them a lot and can't imagine life without them and think that no matter how far you get in life, you'll always have them around. I hope that's still the same because I don't care what happens, these 3 people have done so much to make you feel happy and loved; they're absolute angels. Plus, they would **** you for even thinking about leaving them--so don't. Also, dude, your love life sucks. Like you were hung up over a gross looking boy for 5 years and then when you stopped, you couldn't like anyone that wasn't toxic. Like what really is wrong with chu bro fr. Like you met such a sweet guy and he was too boring for you; what do you want a circus act? Yes, this is me being mad at you for your lack of taste in men. But hopefully you found someone you really love. And even if you haven't, that's okay too because we both know that we're strong with or without them. We have our family at the end of the day y'know. How's mom and dad by the way? Still telling you to cover up those ankles? Lmfaoooo, but seriously inshallah everyone's healthy and amazing. Especially baby Anayaa. She means the absolute world to you y'know; like she's the ray of sunshine you need after being all sad and ****. But besides, all that I hope everyone's doing well and that you're happy. I know how hard things can get and how much you blame yourself for it--don't. Things sometimes go unplanned but that's Allah's way of helping you grow. I hope you're still as, or even more, connected to him. Anyways, I'm glad I'm writing to you because maybe you'll remember all those important to you. You've always been such a homebody with only 2 or 3 friends and even if that's boring, I'm glad that's who you are. Never change stupid <3 -17 year old Naz P.S.- you're old, yuck !
