A letter from Jul 6th, 2021

Dear FutureMe, so. you’re like halfway through being twenty. what’s that like? i hope it’s better than what it’s like now. because now is a bit ******. this tube sucks, it hurts like a *****. i still can’t walk, talk or read properly. i’m a bit of a mess. i cant remember a thing, it’s a nightmare. i’ll finally get to meet alice in the flesh later though, she’s coming over after the drs so that’ll be good. i hope mum and molly are okay. i hope you have at least some sort of a good relationship with dad. are you married yet? are you pregnant or have kids? that would be cool. are you in uni? that would be cool. did you go to wellington college for sixth form? i hope you did. did you sit your gcse’s? i’m so scared about what’s going to happen with those. is covid over yet? apparently all restrictions are gonna lift this month on the 19th but i hardly see that happening. are you still friends with at least some of the people you’re friends with now? like billy, chloë and alice? what about casey and tess? i hope you are. do you still cheer? did you ever get to go to worlds or summit even just to spectate? that would be cool. have you been to any new countries? so far i’ve been to england, spain and france (kind of, literally just disneyland but that was really good :) i’d like to go to paris though, especially montmantre). have you been to america yet? or australia? has anyone died? is red still alive? i hope so. i love him too much to let him go. emotionally, i think i’m okay. i’m struggling, obviously, but i think i’m okay. the new bo burnham special makes everything seem not so bad in the sense that other people go through this **** too. do you still write occasionally? i hope you do, that would be good :) are you acting? that would be amazing. do you still live with mum and dad? or did you move out? are grandma and grandad okay? i love them. are jacqui and paul dead yet? i hope so. i hate them. i hope you’re still a feminist. you better still be a feminist. did you ever become a disney princess? i know that’s always been a long shot but who knows? it’s 2026 so maybe that’s possible. do you still wear your curls? i hope you do. what jobs have you had and what are you doing now? wait but like what are you doing right now like what do you do with your days now? because at the moment it’s a lot of nothing but that’s what i need to get better. can you tumble yet? have you had another concussion yet? did you ever make lady t’s or a team at unity? that would be good. do you still talk to maddie wicks? or is it still weird? and did anna marry adrian? also, did a*** and kacie divorce yet? he must have a really good divorce lawyer. what shows do you watch? i’m still a gilmore girls and schitt’s creek die hard. this is weird, i have like zero more questions to ask. wait no i do actually sorry scrap that. do you still like musicals? please say yes. ride the cyclone, fangirls, a chorus line, rocky horror, moulin rouge and we are the tigers are my current rotations; they’re so good. check in on your friends. speaking of friends, have you made any new ones? maybe a boyfriend? maybe a husband, even. that would be nice, you always wanted that. remember to be kind to people. i hope that’s still important to you. did dad and mum get a divorce yet? it’s definitely on the horizon. it’s definitely coming soon. i can feel it. they say they’re closer than ever but i know that’s not true. i hope you’re okay. please be okay. try to be okay. have a cup of tea. it’s going to be okay. love, brooke. 6/7/2021
