A letter from September 1st, 2020

Time Travelled — 3 months

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, Don't take things for granted. Go on that walk , go read that book, go run...do what makes you happy . Don't spend all your time on your phone! Go enjoy yourself! Have fun! Laugh! Smile! Whatever makes you happy DO IT. Sad? Read a book go see minnie go do some art text Anna speak to mom or dad . Don't change yourself for other people. Screw what other people think. Express yourself by the way you dress and your art Be yourself and be proud of who you are . I wrote this on Tuesday the 1st of September. The day mom got her tooth pulled out, went to Maria's and went to dorrige. Wanna know why I wrote this? It's because today I realised that all I do is go on my phone and I wanted to remind myself of the things I love. I've wasted weeks that I could've been enjoying myself on that damn phone. Enjoy your free time don't waste it by sitting on your phone all the time. I'm going back to school on Friday for this first time since march. ik it's sad right? I'm sure when I reading this I'll be wondering what I was so worried about. I'm here to remind you to keep going . You've gone through so much and you deserve to be happy. For the first time in my life I feel properly happy! I seen this thing the other day and it went like this... Don't take the photo just enjoy the moment. Remember that Mel it's important. Fyi when you go on holiday make sure to bring your waterproofs because it's bloody raining every day in the lake District 😂 quarentine has taught me to enjoy the little things in life , the things we would always take for granted. Such as going in the car, loving Minnie,going to Solihull , going to the shops ,going for a walk ect . I hope you don't take that for granted when everything goes back to normal . This Corona virus thing has taught me to live in the moment and to not take things for granted. Make sure you enjoy the cold weather BC you'll be moaning about missing it in the summer 😂 oh and yesterday lily and Anna came round . Mel make sure you take care of them BC there real amazing friends trust me . Right imma head out now because I'm very tired and need to go to sleep now . So i happy birthday future Mel! Make sure you enjoy today don't be a dollydowner please. I hope this letter gives you a few things to think about.🤠 Bye 👋 hope your happy . Written on 1st of September 2020 byeeeee

Reflect from the present:
Hi past Mel,
I really wish I would have taken your advice. But in reality it was something I read and then forgot about. In that...
