A letter from June 11th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, So it’s 2020... the year we all thought was going to be the best. Senior year, graduation, spending your last months of high school with your best friends, partying, concerts. Looks like we were wrong. January 1st 2020 as the ball was dropping I got a call that one of my best friends overdosed for his first time. Even the very start of the year was not it. Then things were going good for a while things were just normal then something else happened. My same friend who overdosed before did again but this time it was in my presence. I will never forget that sight or the feeling I had in me and I’m gonna be honest sometimes it wakes me up at night. Not shorty after that there was more news that broke a tiny part of me but I’d get over it, nothing major. Very quickly life took a downward spiral. We were sitting in 1st period one morning and one of my friends texted in our gc and asked if my friend was at school. None of us knew and we started freaking out then an announcement was made for all seniors to report to the auditorium we all knew what was coming we voiding hold any of our emotions together. We knew what it was but we didn’t want to believe it. When we arrived there they told us the news, my group lost one of our best friends, one of the best people in the world, the sweetest most kindest caring soul you could ever come into contact with. No matter how much he struggles he always managed to put smiles on our faces. That honestly broke the group it was very hard to deal with, it was senior year he was supposed to be there with us through it all graduation and everything. Well graduation also didn’t turn out the way we thought either. Not shortly after the ***** of our best friend the nation declared the corona virus as an epidemic. We left school one Friday and never came back, we missed out on all of the best parts of senior year and missed out on spending those last high school moments together before it all came to an end. Like wth who has to wear a mask to graduation it’s literally crazy. But we did it :) And as of right now I’m not going to college because I’m moving out to California with a boy so I’m hoping when I read this in 5 years everything worked out between us and I don’t regret not going to school and making my family hate me over him. I really think he’s the one tho. It’s crazy how much can change in such a short amount of time and I want to get better at not taking things for granted and enjoying the little things in life. I hope I still stay in contact with my c4L people forever and our bond never changes. I hope Marleigh gets where she wants to in life because she can do it. I hope Anthony, James and Cindy get their dream place in Florida, I hope Austin doesn’t have any kids because he doesn’t want them haha. I hope Zach realizes music isn’t for him lmao, I hope Ry n Dak lose their virginity, I hope John gets his license, I hope Evan and Bella make things work, I hope Maylee and Steve are married, i hope Bri dawg fulfills his motor cross dreams and I hope trey way is still in the sky watching over us. Man... I’m gonna miss those crazy people it seemed like no one ever understood us but that’s what made it so great. Idk what’s all gonna happen within these 5 years but I hope magical things happen, I hope the world gets better, I hope life is good and I’m happy and healthy. Anyways peace out dude see you in 2025!!!!!
