A letter from June 6th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, What up girl. It's June, 6 2020, right now. I bet you remember how insane this year was. Mom and Dad are finally letting you go out again after the Covid breakout, but now riots are starting and you have to be home early. It's a weird time for me right now. All of my friends are adults and in different stages of life than me and it is really hard. I know that these are my forever people, or so I hope. But I am going to have to put myself back out there senior year so I'm not alone. I've recently come to the conclusion that my life is hella boring and I've barely lived it to the fullest. Right now I'm really trying to learn to let go and just live. Romanticize my life, ya know. Hopefully you look back and I've done just that. I just started talking to Brady. He's really sweet to me and a really good guy, I think. I guess you know. Maybe that will work, or maybe you've found someone else that adores you. Or maybe you're a single badass *****. I'm really scared for senior year, nothing seems right. I feel like I'm just ready for the next phase of my life. I know that I keep switching from me to you like we're different people, but I kinda hope we are. I hope you are the best version of me. I hope you know exactly who you are. I hope that I make these future years something to remember for you. I hope that you and mom are best friends, and things got better. I hope that everything that I've dreamed of has come true for you. I hope that you're so happy and maybe in love. I hope that you're about to graduate college and make a life you life. I hope you live it up. I hope that you're proud of yourself, because I'm proud of you. I hope you are a ************* badass. However, if all of these things that I hope for you are not the case, I hope you know that you are so loved and you push your way through whatever it is. Because I know you can, you've done it before. Just keep going. You have so many things going for you, and hopefully by now you realize it. Spread your wings love. Live your ******* life. Embrace every experience. Don't let the little things pass you by, please. xoxo, 17 year old you <3
