A letter from July 24th, 2020

Time Travelling — over 5 years

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, When you get this it will be 2025, I'm writing to you from 2020, crazy right? Cheddar passed last month and we adopted two new kittens, I hope you're holding Cassi while you read this. Ollie is still a bit skittish but he's only been here for a few months so that's to be expected. I Expect you to have a job and be working on moving out, or working on getting into Yale. Allie really wants us to achieve our dream and I hope she's still pushing us to our fullest potential when you read this. I know our life isn't ideal but that's okay, we're not the granddaughter that Memaw wanted, and we're not the daughter dad wanted, but they got Maegan and Mom has us. I hope you still talk to Momma, and I hope she's excepted our ********* buy then. Mom and I are still trying to get Dad to change his mind about Mercy, I hope we get to do the rest of our schooling online, to be honest. But the thing I want to be most honest about with you is the future, I hope Mom and Dad don't have to read this because we decided to leave them, I'm not a strong believer in God and the afterlife but if you're not reading this letter for the reason that we made a stupid decision that we can never take back, I hope you're kicking your own ***. I wonder if I still have high expectations for life? Am I going to Yale? Did I ever finish our books? Did we ever go to state for archery? Did I finally get to be in a real relationship before my high school years ended? I think I'm going to make you read this on our 18th birthday. Are we ever going to make it big in the real world like we always wanted? I hope we got the truck we wanted, I really want to have one of those midnight drives through the backroads in the summertime. I want to live past 18. I hope you will make that happen. Did we ever forgive ourselves for what happened with Ben? Did we ever forgive ourselves for not spending as much time with Gam? Do we get to see Audrey grow up? Will Maegan go onto marry Garrett? Will I ever get to meet Allie Jo in person? I hope all of my questions and hopes will be answered at some point, for now, I only have two more wishes that I hope will be fulfilled when I read this again in 5 years, 5 months, and some days. Did we ever go to an SPN con? And did we meet Matthew Gray Gubler? Love, your past self
