A letter from March 1st, 2021

Dear Future me, hope you're well. yes this is the email you probably completely forgot about but the day has finally come. time already flies right now so I wonder what it's like for you RIGHT now, in the future/present. I hope you're in an okay situation and don't have too many troubles and worries. I wish you could tell me about your new friends (if you have any) and all the places you've been. you'll be 20 when you get this. hopefully still at uni but who knows what you'll do. I hope you are healthy and happy. you'll probably look back at this and cringe so hard but I find it funny. It's currently the 1st of march, 2021. yes, still in lockdown. I hope you're able to look back at this awful time and laugh, but be able to appreciate where you are right now, free to do whatever you like. see you're friends (more than one at a time) and be able to INTO their HOUSE (sounds like a luxury to me). or be able to go to the cinema, or even into town, go to parties and clubs and have a life. most importantly be able to travel. I cannot WAIT till the next holiday. we don't know if we still can this year but guess we'll have to wait and see what Nicola and Boris say, but you'll already know how it turns out. oh to be in Italy, in the sun, with a book :(. hang on I have a google meet for classics in 4 minutes give me a mo. right I'm back. that was basically just everyone complaining about lockdown and Mr Duncan feeling sorry for us teenagers. anyway, what I'm trying to say is, please appreciate the life you have now (lets just pray it never gets as bad as this or worse). apparently the 21st of June is when everything will be normal again but I highly doubt that. the scary thing is, I have no idea what I want to do with my life. I don't know what I'm gonna do after school about my gap year or Uni. I don't know what the rest of my life is gonna look like but you have a small idea (hopefully). I know this isn't going to be some inspiring life-changing email. I just want the best for us. If you're in a situation where you are not happy- find a way out. It may sound impossible but it most likely will not be. as long as you are happy. I want to ask some questions: I Rafa still around? god I hope he is. He's sitting sat the end of my bed right now. he' been with me 24/7 through lockdown. are mum and dad and Noah doing okay? text them and tell them about this stupid email. where do you live? hope its somewhere cool but hope you visit mum and dad often too. what's your job? what's it like? I want to be a bartender during Uni so that would be cool. just figured out you will probably be in your last year of Uni right about now if you actually go. what's the course like? did you enjoy it? do you have a boyfriend? what's his name? is he nice? if you don't have one that is completely okay hope single-life is treating you well. I really hope mum and dad don't move out of this house I really want to come back to it. guess this is it. good luck with the future and hope you write another one of these for five years later. lots of love, you :)
