A letter from August 28th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, Hi! You remember me?Did you achieve everything by now? Did you get what you want? Lemme tell you somethin... I had this dream that I was celebrating my birthday in my house. You know you have to make a wish before blowing the candles right? I actually don't do that, but in the dream I blew my candle. It's strange right because I never do that. Well since you blew your candle on your dream, did you know what you wish for? Is to be successful and live in Japan. It's my second time to set a reality goal in my life. The first one is to be a chef. Then in the dream, later on my mom told me to have a wonderful kids, a five kids to be exact. But I told her that "why do you always tell me those things, as if I'm gonna get pregnant" and she said "you're a woman, of course you'll get pregnant" And I was like "Not just because I had my first boyfriend when I was 13 doesn't mean that I also want to have a boyfriend in the future and get pregnant. It's my body so no one tells me what to do. It's my body so I'm the one who'll decide whether to get pregnant or not." AND THAT WAS THE DREAM.... Mom may not know this but I actually don't wanna get married and pregnant, but things may change in the future. You wanna know why you don't wanna get married? It's because you DON'T TRUST MEN. Men always breaks your heart and give you a hard time. You try your best to trust them yet they hurt you, so you lost their trust. That's why if you change your mind that you'll get married, I hope you find a great man, a man that will stay with you through your ups and down, a man that will treat you like a queen, a man that respects you and a man that will never break your heart. Tbh, I am a kind person, honest, straightforward and lovable but if you break my trust, that will all just disappear. I hope you find your true love by wishing and blowing out the candles on your birthday. Sincerely yours, Your 16 self.
