A letter from Aug 11th, 2021

Dear FutureMe, How is it going? You still in school? Still afraid of spiders? Well, I am. I’ve been in school less than a week and it’s annoying. But at least sports start soon, the only thing I look forward to. I’m going to be the next female LeBron James, or rather the first. Sports is how we are going to college, you got to do better. We are smart, so getting through high school should be easy if we focus. Did you figure out what you want to do when you grow up? I’m thinking…LAWYER. Think about it, you love arguing, you can gather information easily, it’s perfect. Lawyers also have lots of money, at least the well-known ones that are good at winning cases. By the way in case you were wondering I have 30 pairs of shoes right now. I can’t wait to hear how many you have. Do you still live in the same house, or did you move again? Are the doggies good? Still have the same backpack from 6th grade? Did you get that dark mark tattoo yet? I know you really wanted it. How many covid variants are there? 12? You still in love with everything Harry Potter? How many new marvel movies have come out, is loki still a thing? I’m still mad the first season only had like 5 episodes. What kind of music do you listen to now? I listen to Eminem, Dax, NF, Crypt, ect. Do you have a job? If you do let me guess, it’s subway. I knew it. What’s your aesthetic now? Still basic, or did you finally put together a nice outfit? My guess would be a definite no. What do you like to do now? Is it still laying on the couch scrolling through Tik Tok? Is Tik Tok even a thing anymore? I forgot to even ask you if you still liked basketball, do you? Do you hang out with people now? Well, if so, that’s awesome and I envy you for having friends. Is your favorite food still Chick-Fil-A mac and cheese? It’s so good isn’t it, it’s like so cheesy which I guess is the point but still they do it so good. Are you growing out of your ADHD or is it getting worse? I feel like as you age it gets worse but some people say otherwise so I have no clue. Do you belong to an organization or not? I have no clue what that means so I’m going to guess the same for you. Hey, have you seen your dad lately? Is nana still alive? Did your uncle finally move out? Are you still talking to your bestie Michael, or did you guys move separate ways? I miss seeing him every day, but it is what it is. You still dating victor? If so, I’m proud you haven’t lost interest. I mean don’t get me wrong, Victor is dope, but you have an attention span shorter than a 6-year-old inside a toy store that wants to play with everything. Are you sill a weirdo with only 7 friends, or did you branch out? Is your favorite teacher Mrs. Chow? (No offense Mrs. Huffman you’re pretty cool too) Who do you look up to? You know, thinking about it I think you would make a good rapper you should look up to one of them, like Eminem. The vast majority of the population is irritating to you so there’s that. Well where you were born hasn’t changed, Joplin, Missouri. You lived in Surprise at one point, then El Mirage, then where you live now Phoenix, bordering Tolleson. You only went to 2 other schools, Thompson Ranch, then Desert Oasis well I guess if you count Westpoint it’s 3. Do you remember when you went sledding and fell off the sled scratching your whole cheek? That was funny, then you picked at the scab and started bleeding in the middle of the night. Do you miss Chaad, or even talk to her? Previous romances, do you remember Dominick, because I do. Not willingly might I add. I’m obviously valedictorian, right? Along with the president of student council. I bet you joined at least 70 different clubs and got bored instantly. Is ASU still an option for you or did you change your mind? You aren’t getting married, I’m sorry to offend but it’s true. You are probably working at like 5 different places. Last but not least, do you have your license? If so, you are going to get into a car wreck if not already. You are just not the most patient person in the world but it’s okay.
