A letter from January 3rd, 2021

Peaceful right?

Dear Future Me, If you made it in the future, which means we did it, we did our goal. Times have been hard because of the 2019-21 COVID-19 pandemic and other **** but at least we're still alive! People may not be by your side anymore because of life but hey, life goes on and on and on... But that aside, 21 years old... man that's really old if you ask me. You probably consider looking for that "someone" and probably have fun with her ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) or probably enjoy yourself like what I did by playing Genshin Impact and watching Hololive Vtubers and watching some good ol' anime. I really really hope that you might finally decide your dream unlike me in the past where I'm in a stalemate since every opportunity I saw I was so unsure if I could do it or not. How's your friends going? Win and Clint? Remember them? Remember when we played Genshin Impact together to help each other because of those hard-*** quests despite having ****** internet? I still laugh at the fact that Win is getting his *** kicked in Dragonspine lmao. How's family going? Are your sisters getting good in life? I really hope so! Cuz my sisters right now are just watching K-pop or Tiktok and whatever girly **** they do. I really hope that mother and father are still okay 5 years from now. How's the country going so far? I've been really curious about the Philippines in the future, who knows if the politics have changed or they're still in the same ****** system in my opinion. And how's anime going? I have a feeling that you might stray away from it since I got bored here rn lmao. Also is JoJo Part 6: Stone Ocean animated? How was it? I always wonder what would it be like when it's animated. Is JoJo Part 7 anime even there yet tho? Can't wait for that legendary manga to be animated! Still wondered if JoJolion (JoJo Part 8) is still ongoing cuz my god that "The Wonder of You" arc is soo ******* long. I don't even know if JoJo is still ongoing like it has Part 9 or smth or finished. Is Hololive still okay right now? Probably not but I hope that they've been doing okay. And finally, how are you? If you feel sad, just remember the times when I used to do entertaining things like listening to Led Zeppelin, Queen, Prince, AC/DC, and other more musicians and bands. (God bless JoJo for referencing them) or play games and watch YouTube. I really hope that you're finally happy in life, cuz that's my goal too, and we've been aiming to get that goal even tho it may not be possible since life is always **** to us. (lol) I hope that you're happy and having fun like I was years ago! Stay positive in life! And stay funky and go towards your dream! (Even though I'm not sure what I'm aiming for right now lmao) And I hope that you're happy in life and if you're sad, the past me is disappointed in you. So lemme give you an advice: don't worry, be happy! “Everyone has their own experience. That’s why we are here, to go through our experience, to learn, to go down those paths and eventually you may have gone down so many paths and learned so much that you don’t have to come back again.” -Prince (our favorite musician) P.S. Listen to my favorite song "Billy Jack *****" by Prince, you might remember it and have fun listening to it again like what I did 5 years ago.
