A letter from May 31st, 2021

Dear FutureMe, Hello Vani, it's your sixteen year old self. I'm writing this down in June 31 of 2021, listening to Olivia Rodrigo new album "SOUR". I just really hope you're reading this, actually I hope a lot of things, because I, we, are in a not in a nice place right now, we are suffering from extreme anxiety, it's being really hard and difficult, but I'm hopeful that it's going to get better and I'm trying, hope that you are proud of us in the moment that you are reading this. Right now you are 22, wow, I can't even think of that, please sing 22 by Taylor Swift from the top of your lungs for me? Now I'm going to say a couple of more things that I hope, wait, don't worry if you are not there yet, it's totally okay, I'm proud of you no matter where you are at, I know you well enough to say that you have a good heart and everything is okay. I hope that you are happy, like really really happy, I, right now, don't know what this feeling is like, I'm trying to find it, so I do really hope that. I hope that you are making good memories. I hope that you are working hard, let's be honest we always do. I hope that you are helping people, and puttin a smile in people's faces. I hope that you found your self, and who you are. I hope that you love yourself, at least a little. It's really crazy to say that I hope you found love? Because we are in need of someone special right now, so I hope that you have someone now, even if this someone is you. I hope that this person puts a smile on your face, and makes you feel loved and beautiful, I hope that you guys are having a lot of fun. Most important thing: I hope you are okay, because if you are, you don't have any idea of how happy I'm, you can forget of all those "I hopes..." if you are okay, like fully okay. Please, take care of yourself and the people that you loved, but don't forget about you. Be happy, and continue to love the little things in life, continue to be kind and lovin, continue to find little things beautiful, continue to love the way you do, continue to love your freckles and you smile, continue smiling. Your beautiful girl, don't put to much pressure in yourself (although I know you are not going to listen that), your amazing just the way you are, I hope that you know that by now. I love you so much, don't forget to write it back or and plan another letter for when you are 27. Oh, and don't forget that love can change the world in a moment, so just love, show love and give love. You are not going to regret it. Take care. Vani.
