A letter from August 31st, 2020

Dear me in the future, It's your 13 year old self. It's the 2nd week of 8th grade and we have everything online. It stressful but it's not, you know what I mean, next week i'm going back to face to face school and i'm gonna have to wear a mask. Coronavirus has made life stressful. I wonder if it's stopped yet. I also wonder how you're doing, I mean you're graduating and your 18! Have you gotten into any colleges and do you have a car? Don't make any wrong choices and think about things carefully. Have I gotten more mature or imature? Do you have the same friends, have you gotten any new ones? How's your social life? How are your grades, please don't say your failing. I hope I made it into Honors. Do you still wanna be a nurse/ doctor or a lawyer. Go to c'ollege even if you have to get loans or have jobs during school. I know it going to be really stressful, but think of the outcome. We will be successful and we can show our family and help them out. If any challenges come your way ask for help, I kow you do a lot so take break once in a while. Everyone thinks we're gonna turn out bad, that's why I want you to be the best. Do what you want once in a while, don't feel pressured, but still strive. I guess that's just life. Right now, we have a lot of family issues, I know we're living through it. Just think of this, you're now free. You're 18 and you can start adulthood and get away from everyone, but please still talk to them, they care for you. I know me wanting to become older will be something I wish I didn't want but that what happens. I wish we could've stayed young and never have any problems, but that's what happens to the best of us. Make good friends and find someone at the right time, don't rush it just because everyone else has one. Live your life. I'm proud of you:) Omg... are you dead?
