A letter from February 11th, 2021

Dear Future Me, It's Thursday February 11, 2021. I am 13 and in 7th grade. Today I was supposed to go to school but we had an Asynchronous day (homework online). I live in the attic rn bc I wanted to have my own room. I am doing amazing so far and remember, I am in the past so I don't need you anymore but they future me NEEDS YOU! Life is like a game, if you die when you aren't supposed to, then you restart until you beat the game, in this case life. My best friends are Jayden Oswald, Jasmine Eberts, Ivonne Apanco, and Sierra George. Ivonne can really get annoying at times but she's always there for me! I met this 14 year old Mexican but I don't know his name 💀 his @ on snap is: derwinlau. He seems pretty nice. I lost 2 pounds in 1 month too!!! I tried to be more confident in myself but people make it hard. I failed a math test on Wednesday February 10 tho 💀. It was ab area and circumference and I STILL don't know wtf it is 😃💀. I'm doing really well in school and I'm getting better at boxing. I box at home tho bc my coach still doesn't open yet. Life can be tough at times because the things that make you happy, can make you sad. You already lived through my part of life so now it's time to live through the adult life. I believe in you. People leave for a reason. And that reason is bc God has a plan for you. He knows what he is doing and it's the best for you. Don't give up. Keep your head up kiddo💛🇲🇽. Your past self, 🇲🇽Lorena Olayo-Estrada🇲🇽
