A letter from August 15th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, Right now, I'm just about to start college. This is the next leg of my life. I'm really excited. I hope you've been doing well these days. I wonder where you are now? Have you gotten closer to your dream? Did you end up switching your major? Are you happy? How is that plan on getting to med-school? Did you get in? Have you gotten into your first relationship yet? Remember: if you have any negativity in your life, bring out that fly swatter and swat that **** away! If you're going through any hardship or any hard decisions right now, you'll get through them. You always have and you always will, one way or another. Put yourself first. Don't bend over backward for others. Set your boundaries and be firm about them. I'm still working towards that. It's hard but I'm getting better at it. How about you? Have you gotten to the point where you can say no and move on? I'm still growing into myself right now but have you finally reached that point? When you talk, do you still let people run over you? Are you still a pushover or have you learned to stand up for yourself? Are you still a people pleaser and afraid of letting others down? Have you made friends that respect your time and your company? I hope you've been doing well. I love you. Whatever it is, whatever is going on, I will always be there for you. Never forget to respect yourself. You've come so far. I might not know what circumstances you're in right now, but always stand firm. Love, You from 5 years past
