A letter from March 25th, 2021

Hey Me, This is Olivia from the past. Olivia from 2021. 15-year-old Olivia (shudder). Which is crazy because you would have to be like 20 now! So by now, you should be in university. If everything goes according to what you want now, you are at the University of Florida with Justin from Texas and you are well on your way to NASA! You play in a marching band and are just all-round cool. You've been to Europe, especially Italy and France, and traveled all around the US. You also have a annual pass to Disney World. But those dreams of 15 year-old Olivia are big. Like REALLY big. And just know that I won't be disappointed if you don't get there. You shouldn't be disappointed if you didn't get there. And maybe you chose not to go to UFL... and there's a whole list of reasons why you might have.... while Justin may be one of your best friends right now, if you didn't make the whole long distance friendship thing work, thats fine. Also, currently you REALLY like him. Like a lot. Which is crazy because he lives in Texas and you live in Australia. But oh well. But we are arguing more at the moment and Mum and Dad are setting stupid rules in place which limit our communication... but anyways. Another reason you might not go is umm the price. I've worked it out.... $300,000. Which I don't have. I have a job though. And I'm saving, kinda. But for a car and for a trip overseas and for college or university.... so I don't have much money to spare. I'm also having friendship issues.... yay. Ash is being a *****. Like really truly. She's really excluding me which is great fun yet acts like my best friend in music class when she has no one else to hang out with. I haven't fully shut her down yet, but the time will come.... Great Kate got a puppy!! Teddy is the love of your life. I hope he's still alive... Did you get to regularly puppysit? Hopefully! He prefers you to Claire at the moment which is great lol. He likes sitting in your lap. Anyways, 15 year-old Olivia obviously doesn't know where you are or how you feel. I hope this doesn't upset you... just know that I am proud of you no matter what <3 Lots of love, Olivia
