A letter from Sep 7th, 2021

Dear FutureMe, First of all, I would like to tell you that English is not my first language, so I will make a lot of mistakes, but I hope I get better at it when I'll read this. When the time runs out and you receive that you will be 20 years old. I will be a young, beautiful and smart woman in the 2nd year of medical school (if I have not discovered another passion).I know it's been hard to get here, since your parents divorced, nothing is rosy. In the last year (2021) you have matured even more.You are such a strong person and I love you! In 6 days I should start high school in another city, but I don't know where I will stay because we don't have money to rent an apartment. I hope the family's financial situation has improved over time. Now you are thinking of working part time secretly and the money you will earn to gradually put in your mother's wallet so she will not notice. I hope you are still in touch with your current friends. And I can't wait to see if anything happened between you and Alex, because even though you liked each other for 8 years, since what happened last summer and until now it hasn't shown any interest in you. But recently he looked at me differently. Every time our eyes intersect, he smiles at me so wide and awkwardly, as if he were excited. Anyway, I think it would be nice to end up together after so long <3 Finally, I would like to assure you that you are a lovable person, who also knows how to love! Even if everyone, especially mom, say that surgery is right for us because we are a strong person without any emotions. it's because we don't like to express our emotions and feelings cause it makes us feel exposed, unprotected and vulnerable. P.S. I hope you have visited at least 2 countries so far. P.P.S. I hope you have become better at expressing emotions. Just because our parents only knew how to argue and you didn't hear or see love between them, that doesn't mean love doesn't exist and it shouldn't be expressed. Maybe going and talking to a therapist would help P.P.P.S. I love you sooo muchhh <3
