A letter from February 21st, 2021

Heya, future me! How's it going? This is your 19 year old self speaking. Writing. Read this out loud, and I could be speaking. Except your voice has probably changed a bit. Anyways, I hope you're still positively stupid! Or if you're not, that's fine too, as long as you're positive. Unless you're positive for Covid. Hopefully that's over by the time you get this. You might be in college or university by now, which is absolutely amazing! Listen, you're doing great. You're probably doing a lot better than me right now! You have the capacity to do well in life, don't beat yourself up so much. You're good, you hear me? Whatever challenges you might be facing, you can overcome them. You made it this far, don't you dare quit, alright? Or else I will invent time travel and shake you aggressively, with love, until you're back on your feet. That reminds me, how are your friends? How's the family? Are Dad and Andrée doing well? How's Mom, did she find someone who isn't a jackass? She deserves a good boyfriend who treats her well. I hope you're still talking to Abi, and Jack, and the people on the Sarah Cult server. Is Sarah eating healthily? I really hope so. Is Abi still in Sweden? She's learning about some complex science stuff, isn't she? I wonder how that's going. Has Jack finished reading Room of Swords? I really hope he likes it. Aha, speaking of which, Room of Swords might still be going on by the time you get this. That's exciting! Right now, season 2 just ended. I can't even imagine how wild the story's gotten, and I cannot wait to find out! Are you still obsessed with Feather? Did they return after season 2? They're such a cool character, I hope they do come back. Also, how's the RoS Game Night server? Are you still running that, or did it fall apart? I very much like that server, so I hope it's still going and that the people on it are having fun! Ooh, you might have a partner by now. If so, hello, future me's S/O! I can't wait to meet you! Not that I'm currently in a rush to be in a relationship, but it's great that you're in my life. You better be taking good care of my future self, and my future self better be taking good care of you. I might not know you yet, but I love you, and hope you drank water today! That goes for my future self, too. Drink water. I'm gonna go upstairs and do that myself so I'm not a hypocrite. You might have your own place by now, which is super rad! Hope you're keeping that tidier than I'm keeping my room right now. I think this is long enough, so I should sign off now! I'm really really bad at doing that, so here goes. Keep drawing, keep writing, keep playing the uke, and singing. You're doing great in life, so don't give up! Love, James, 19 21/02/2021
