A letter from Apr 15th, 2021

Time Travelled — almost 5 years

Peaceful right?

Dear Future Me, How is life going? I'm sure that a lot has changed in the last 5 years. Right now I (should I say we?) are/am a high school junior. Im sure at that point that is a small accomplishment and I am sure that in 5 years or whenever this makes it's way to you a lot has changed. Our/My/Your worries are much bigger than who likes who or who is or isn't talking to who. I don't know or think that Austin or Ty or any other boy we are currently talking to is still around or if I/we ever got the classic high school experience of prom. I'm sure masks will be a relic that we/you eventually show to the kids and grand kids of the future or have we had kids yet? Did you ever find that dream guy or better yet have we gotten married? The one who takes care of you so you can visit the world and discover your dreams? Did we ever go to college for psychology and sociology? Did we ever pursue teaching? At first I never saw myself settling down until I found the one and now I wonder if there ever will be just one person I could spend the rest of my life with. I am sure whoever you/we chose/choose it was the right decision . Though I know how practical we as a person try to be, the heart always wins out. If this is before the big wedding day, Tell him how much he means to you, that hes worth more to you than all the stars and moons and worlds combined and though a diamond on a ring symbolizes the bond between you, there is no metal strong enough to compare and no stone rare enough to show the beauty of two people made so perfectly for each other that your no just soul mates your the other half to each other. If this is after, congratulations on finally committing to someone and finding that home and love that I/We have craved for so long and tell him all the things I said before anyway. In my last letter for my future self, the one I wrote that I should get when we graduate highschool I told myself all the people I should keep in my life because they were people that were such a central part of my life, now I know how quickly that can all change, please just dont find reasons to shut yourself out from the world and at least make 1-2 friends that you can count as family. I hope you all good health and that there isn't a raging pandemic still slowly wiping out humanity in 5 yrs. See you sooner than I'd think
