A letter from May 26th, 2021

Dear FutureMe, Dear, Jayden Jenkins/ Swogger Today is Wednesday, May 26, 2021 I am in school at my desk in Miss Nell’s classroom and I am in 8th grade so I am 14 years old. I have been going through a lot lately such as losing loved ones but gaining some. I lost my grandfather around 4 years ago and thought it was the end of the world. I loved him so much. But in return a couple of months ago someone gave me the love of my life, my boyfriend who has been with me through everything and cared for me, and helped me in any way he could. He has always been there for me and always will be hopefully. But then I lost someone who raised me not my birthday but my dad and I started hurting myself thinking it was my fault. But I now see it isn’t I got the help I needed I went somewhere that changed my life and of course, my boyfriend was there through it all. I’m guessing in a couple of years I am writing to myself. In the future, I want to be singing and writing new music or dancing and living with my boyfriend. I want you to never give up on your dreams and that you need to keep trying like I am. I’ve been writing new music and haven’t published it yet. I want to have new friends. I want to be a better person in the future so people forget about me skipping school or not behaving well in class. I wonder if I have become famous yet. I wanna be famous for my voice or dancing in the future to make my mom, stepmom, and dad finally proud of me. I want to help them and I want them to finally say “I knew you would make it here, sorry for everything.” I just really wanna know if that happened yet if so I’m really proud and excited for you. I also wanna give you some advice, If you want the rainbow you are going to have to go through all the rain first. You may be put down sometimes or someone is going to hate you but you are who you are. I don’t want you to think you are someone that doesn’t matter cause you to do so many people. If you ever need any help ask others you don’t have to go through this alone there are many people that could help you. Don’t lie to loved ones and always tell them you love them before you go out cause you never know what could happen once you walk out that door. And most of all that those people that have passed away are never gone they are always with you.
