A letter from Aug 15th, 2021

Dear FutureMe, how are you old buddy old chum?! dont worry i dont actually speak like that if youd forgotten, sorry if youve been turned into a grammar nazi and hate me now but i cant be bothered to add in all the apostrophies im typing on that ****** chromebook you got for christmas a few years ago,dyou still have that? i bet you got fed up and smashed it, i would (oh wait!) - and no i will not stop making those jokes. right, so i dont really know what to say, i guess ill introduce myself and you can compare: hello! my names lily, my nicknames are liky, william (cuz of the hair), urine (its an inside joke with my friends i promise im not weird and i didnt pee myself), and sometimes lord farquad if im lucky. my favourite shows are attack on titan, the office, brooklyn 99, and the disastrous life of saiki k, but also the end of the ******* world and i am not okay with this, you- i mean i, have a lot of favourite shows. your favourite films are fantastic mr fox, the lorax, spirited away, and i recently watched little miss sunshine and i love it sm omg. i really like basically most japanese cuisine, also spanish food tho like patatas bravas, and uhhh ice cream i guess, everyone likes ice cream. i just bought some brown trousers and i love them i feel like a hot librarian. and my hair is like a bob cut with a fringe and i love it, im finally starting to feel comfortable with how i look which is nice, so hopefully youve still got the shakespeare cut going on strong, if not, i hope youre sprinting to the hairdressers right now. i hope youve still got the same email adress otherwise this is going to be pretty awkward. so i just finished the office with my parents and i was crying a minute ago because i was thinking how fast time flies, and also emily was writing one of these to herself and showed me my cameo in it which was really sweet so i was crying a lot about that too. anyway where im going with this,is that im going to set this to send in five years, and it may seem like a while but itll come about quicker than you think, just the other day i was remembering how in year 5 i was stupidly already worrying about my gcses and now theyre right around the corner, less than a year away, i mean seriously, i am ******. so uhhh sorry if you did **** i guess but im sure ive got this i swear im trying. right onto the questions, how are you doing? have you got a job yet? are you in university? how old are you i cant be asked to do the math? are you dating anyone? ARE YOU MARRIED???? bit fast if you ask me but get it i guess. do you have any new friends? is there another animal crossing game? what was the finale of attack on titan like? i dont wanna ask it but is flame still alive? im sorry if she isnt, shes a nice cat but i know cats dont live forever, i mean it would suck for them if they did but just a bit longer would be nice, i think shes nine now, but anyway im sorry for your loss if so, hopefully thats not the case tho. did anything ever happen with you and him? im gonna talk about this situation a bunch here incase you forgot. im really hoping youve had a jim and pam scenario because oh my god i am in love with him. so ive had some previous crushes, now i look back on them and think "what the ****?" literally the first one liked rugby and you PRETENDED TO LIKE IT SO HE WOULD LIKE YOU, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING OH LORD, and then the other one was just a bit of a **** idk why you liked him i think its cuz he was tall and stole your hat that one time (im using "you" now because i would like to dissassociate myself from these events) but anyway 3rd times a charm i guess because this is the perfect crush, first of all i can see him for him and we're already friends, hes just amazing basically, hes got his flaws but we all do and im still in love with him (even tho he kinda does look like a llama emily has got a point), and i even think i could have a chance, i mean i think im slightly pretty, apparently gingers are on average more attractive to people, and we hang out a lot. and of course theres the classic childhood best friends to lovers trope which i would very much like to come true. i hope you made a move, but im not gonna be cross if you didnt because im scared about it too, and if you still somehow know him and love him after five years and nothing like that has happened, just go do it, whats the worst that could happen, he might reject you yeah but theres that chance of future happiness and you wanna risk it all for that. and if youre in love with someone other than him go for that too, iamreallyhopingyouguysaretogetherbutifitssomeoneelseiguessitcantbehelped. im gonna tell you a bit about why i love him because it sounds fun and im trying to make this longer, he makes you laugh, like a lot hes kind and has kind eyes his vibe is just calming you could literally tell him anything he is very attractive *cough*whattttttt i could go on but now i want to talk about my friends okay so friends, lets start off with the best of the best. emily, the one and only people say that emilys suck, and i want to say thats true in case shes also reading this, but really, she is the least sucky person you know. i hope you guys are still best friends and i hope youre roomates too at some point, cuz that would be so fun,honestly out of all my friends i dont think i would wanna be roomates with any except emily. first off shes hot, you may not be the pretty best friend but my god is it worth it. she is the funniest, kindest, most intelligent person you know (but its fine because you can still bond over not having a clue in maths), she knows way too much about you oh my god, we always joke about that but seriously she knows a dangerous amount, and somehow i dont in the slightest regret telling her any of it, she is your go to gossip friend and i hope she still is. if not you gotta go find her shes the best trust me. youre platonic soulmates and 4 liferssss, just the other day you were on the train and the announcement went "this train terminates at stevenage" and you both, at the exact same time went "your mum terminates at stevenage" and proceeded to scream at each other about how cool it was. also you had a sleepover recently and while looking at the starts at 2am you talked about how skeletons could get ****** and you explained to her the scientifics behind a foot fetish so if that doesnt sum up your friendship i dont know what does. shes honestly my favourite person and i never wanted to say it to her in case i wasnt hers, but she sent me my cameo in her future letter and said i was so this is the perfect opportunity to say it ig, its official. we text all the time about the most random **** and its amazing, i love her so so much we laugh all the time about everything and do that thing where you start crying about a joke its so funny, and i think shes on of my forever friends :) then theres hannah, shes very funny, shes always worried that shes not but she never fails to make me laugh, whether its an actual joke or just the sound of her laughing at something else, shes had me in actual tears. shes so so kind and talented and shes been through so much **** like medical and mental stuff and shes got through it and is still standing strong, shes such a good singer and there was that time in music where she showed you her song for gcse on the piano in a practise room and you thought it was a really good pop song but then realised that hannah had written it and you almost started sobbing like a proud mum, so go and find hannah if youre not still friends. next in line is jack, honestly i doubt you guys will be still be friends which makes me sad, it wouldnt be like a falling out thing just drifting apart, but if you are still friends im glad. he can be a **** sometimes and he doesnt think before he speaks, like ever. but my god is he funny, even if he says something completely and utterly horrendous, just the look on his face will make you start laughing, which to be fair is not good its really annoying actually, but hes got you through some boring classes and made a stupid film with you in year 8 and also you did that maths project video, i hope you still have that somewhere. anyway hes a good guy really and im glad you guys invited him over for lunch that time. then theres saffie, shes been your friend since the beginning of primary school, youre quite different now but youre still good friends and im glad, i think youll probably still be friends, youre the type of friends that never have to see each other and are still homies which is good, im still pretty sad she left and sometimes i still cry about it but it was the best thing for her and now shes really happy so if youre ever in a tough time, learn from saffie and stay strong like she did. and i reckon the last person ill write about is joe. (you might be confused about something but ill confirm now that yes he is also the guy yanno, youll know what i mean) he is also very very funny, i think theres a theme here with your friends, youve been friends since primary school and you always get along well, im glad hes in music with me cuz honestly i dont know what id do without him, you played animal crossing with him earlier and watched the fireworks which was sweet, oh and youre going camping with him on wednesday, btw are you still doing that? i hope so. i reckon youll still be friends one way or another. i hope things are going alright for you and if not i hope they get better. you may not think it but you deserve the world and there are people that love you a lot. im hoping that youve got everything figured out by now but no worries if not i wouldnt blame you, everythings so confusing omg. its gonna be pretty awkward if youre dead and this is just sitting in your inbox so i uhhhh i hope youre not dead, please dont be dead :) so much could have changed since now and im kind of scared to know that, but your life is in good hands (you) so good luck. i kind of dont want to finish typing this cuz then i wont send one of these for a while unless something interesting happens. i love you and im proud of you whatever happens and i hope youre taking care of yourself, get a chinese and a bath tonight maybe (not at the same time) that might be nice, and watch a show you want to watch. im gonna go now cuz emilys texting me about smth, always remember youre someones favourite person and keep going cuz you got this, live love laugh and all the other white mum ****. from the #no1-best-person-of-all-time-in-the-entire-universe-but-this-isnt-including-lin-manuel-miranda-because-hes-a-national-treasure-and-we-all-love-him, you
