A letter from May 1st, 2021

Dear FutureMe, its me 17 year old you. i hope you are still well and alive, not that i doubt your ability to stay alive. right now i am in my bedroom, well our bedroom, its 02:09am and i've got work tomorrow, stock tacking, im currently looking at my guitar that i havent played in around a month, and i am now staring at my visionboard that i sometimes wonder if i only made to have something pretty hang on my wall, cause when i stare at this visionboard im like bro,'idk what i want.' anyways i dont know why i am saying this to you, im trying to type until i get to the point where i know exaclty i want to say. okay i dont exaclty know what i want to say, but i know that i wanted to write this with the intention of making you feel good or sad idk any reaction is fine, it reminds you that your alive, you know. No, you wouldnt know, cause i dont even know why i wrote that, and your me sooo... bro i dont even know that to say for myself its just, "I'm a weirdo...have you ever seen me without this stupid hat on? That's weird." okay i figured out what i want to say Its okay that you may not be where i assume you'll be at. yes, in essence we are the same person, but i know that you have grown. you've maybe grown out of this person who is writing this and with that grown out of the aspirations that i have. you might want different things and thats chilled, the only thing that really hope hasnt/doesnt happen is that you let fear paralyze you from doing what you really want, this is definitely going to sound cliche, but dont be scared to dream bro, dont be scared to write what you want, what you wanna be, see experience, map out a plan, or even going in whatever direction you want blind, just go for it, even if you believe or someone made you believe that your dreams might be futile, just go for it at the end of the day you want it so just do it. now i know your probably thinking, 'child your 17, calm down with your big optimistic a**' but remember Stevie f***ing Nicks wrote a song about my age and not about yours, so whose more powerful here. Me. Thats all i really wanted to say, but at the end of the day just know that (queue Fineline by harry styles at 4:35 ) just incase your poor now and you can no longer just play the song on the go, the lyric says, ' we'll be alright'
