A letter from Jul 19th, 2021

Dear 27 year old self, This is so strange writing to myself in 5 years time. Today I’m in a college house in Cork, planning to leave Ireland in a few weeks with no plans to live in Ireland again. I woke up this morning with no hangover from the weekend after going to a house party Saturday and to the pub yesterday. I have recently decided to give up drinking for the most part. I wonder if you’ll be the same when you read this. Two months ago I broke up with Seanie. I wonder if we’ll ever be friends. I’m still going through heartbreak right now, but I feel so free. I’m so happy to have a fresh start and be on my own for this new beginning. I wonder if you’ll be with someone when you read this. If you are, I hope he’s the best in the world. If you’re not, I hope you’re living your best life. We’re still in the pandemic. Im hoping to get a vaccine soon. We only have outdoor dining at the moment. No nightclubs. I can’t wait to get back to normal. I hope your family are happy and healthy. Michael and Anne moved in together the other day. Into their little motor home. I hope they’ll be married by the time I read this. I wonder if I’ll be an aunt ❤️ I hope you’re living in the moment, staying present and going with the flow. I hope your not as hard on yourself. I hope you believe in yourself more than I do right now. I hope you’re happy ❤️ Love from your very happy, but slightly lost 22 year old self x
